HD 6570

This review is for the 1G model of this video card. My computer is old. It's a Lenovo M93p small form factor machine that I bought reconditioned several years ago, and when the Lenovo web site detected it, it told me that the warranty started in 2014, so the machine is now 9 years old. I'm frugal, though, and I try to squeeze all the use I can out of my things. I recently bought a new 29-inch wide monitor. The monitor only has HDMI inputs. My computer only had display port and VGA outputs for video. So for a short time, I had to use a VGA to HDMI adapter to use this new monitor. Using the adapter, my alternatives for my screen were a resolution that filled the entire monitor but with distortion, or a resolution that did not distort but left black "sidebars." I needed a new video card with an HDMI port to make good use of my new monitor. I looked online at video cards and saw that for most of them, a power supply of 300 watts or more is recommended. I found that the power supply for my computer only puts out 240 watts, and apparently replacement power supplies for my small form factor computer are not available, or would be too complicated for me to install. There are people on YouTube who have used higher powered video cards in the very same model of computer that I have, with the original power supply, to turn them into gaming machines, believe it or not, but I didn't need anything like that. I am grateful to those YouTubers, though, because that's how I learned to open my computer case to install the video card. The hardest part of the installation of this card was replacing the long metal slot-cover that is for full size computer towers with the included slot cover that is for small form factor cases. It's tricky to get the tiny screws back into place. You will need a very small Philips screwdriver. I'm happy to report that this new video card with its HDMI outputs allows me to use all the "real estate" of my 29-inch wide monitor and at the proper resolution. Windows 10 recognized it right away. I do notice a little bit of fan noise. Overall, though, I'm satisfied.

Was easy to install, and it worked in an older Dell Optiplex 3020 which had built in vga and displayport outputs but the displayport stopped working. Worked at first startup after installing but on a basic Windows driver at a lower resolution. Very easy to go onto the website and update the driver, and within a few minutes it was working with all the features and at optimal resolution.

This video card works great in older computers. I am using this card in a computer that runs my CNC laser cutter with one monitor displaying G-Code and the other with the machine interface. As another reviewer stated do not waste your time trying to use the drivers on the included CD, just go to the vendor website and download the latest.

I've ordered this card for my old desktop and it worked perfectly. The only comment I have is that provided CD with drivers didn't work - bad sectors or something although I didn't notice any physical damage, like scratches, etc. Anyway, this will not impact my rating as you can easily download those drivers from the website. Anyway, the bottom line is that hardware is perfect and software issue I had was not really an issue :).

I'm not sure who's selling this garbage, but this showed up and the latest drivers for it are from 2015. It will not install on a Windows 11 machine. What a waste of time.

Good quality for the money. Great deal. High quality for everyday computing. Screen resolution is good for how inexpensive the video card is. Performs well in hooking up dual monitor to my old pc.

Sadly no driver support for Linux mint

Easy to install. Easy to update software. Quiet. Fast. Purchased for an older Dell 5050 Optiplex that dearly needed a graphics card update. Very happy with performance and value. A+!

Basic card that does the job. Can't comment on gaming performance, but based on the price point, this is not a high end card. That said, it does the job and is well built. Instructions for installation are useless and the CD that is included is useless. That said, popped the card into my windows 11 machine. but could only get one port working. After trying to find drivers, I figured I would reboot and Windows recognised the card and it is performing well.

Good value. Exactly what I want. A cheap with 2 HDMI output port.

I don't use this for gaming, I just needed to hook-up more than 1 monitor, or actually the monitor and the TV on the wall. Using it to watch movies from the computer to the TV. Had no compatible issues. Installed on an AMD motherboard running Ubuntu. Plugged it in and it played. If it goes, I will buy another one.

GPU works as intended. Although the specs don't match those advertised by the seller (memory clock and bus width. refer to picture)

Very difficult driver install. Was hoping it would be plug and play. Not ideal for novice computer people.
