Not for gaming. Ideal for adding monitors and increasing screen resolution.

The transverse directions of the radiator fins aren't listed as a drawback because I don't consider myself competent enough. It seems to me that fins along the slot will be open for airflow to the rear panel. This way, cooling will be better. At least, the processor cooling works like this.

If there's a gamer here – this card isn't for you. For you, it's just a video placeholder. I don't need 3D objects, the card isn't for gaming.

My requirements and tasks for the card:
To have the ability to add a monitor, a large monitor. Large resolution is a plus.
Not to create unnecessary noise.
To generate less heat. There is an identical card with GDDR5 memory. I chose this one because it consumes less power (so probably generates less heat) and because it's cheaper.
To offload the RAM and computer processor for main tasks.
As for how mediocre the 3D graphics are – I can't tell at all! I learned how to set up weak cards and gained performance for 2D.
It turned out to be an excellent replacement for the old card from 10 years ago.
You can connect 2 monitors. New, non-obsolete connectors. You can use high resolution. No fan - does not make noise! Price.
Everywhere it says x16. I got concerned about why mine is x4. I checked it through tests, inspected and cleaned the connectors. Only then, and only on the website, did I see x16 (uses 4). Meaning there are contacts for 16 channels, but only 4 are used. I didn't see this detail on the box. Only saw it on the website.

In the description, including on the official website, it says it uses 1 expansion slot. In reality, the large heatsink occupies the height of 2 slots. For my purpose, this is not a drawback, but it is a shortcoming in the card description.

To create the MSI label, a visor was made on the heatsink clearly not for heat dissipation. It's only for a nice label. There's nothing preventing this label from being placed on the side. Or the fins could be painted in a certain way. Under the visor, the heatsink fins are smaller.
