About This Product
The MSI HD 6790 OC is a budget-oriented GPU from the Radeon HD 6000 series, suitable for basic desktop use and very light gaming at 720p or low settings at 1080p. Its 1GB GDDR5 VRAM and 800 stream processors offer limited performance for modern titles, placing it below entry-level cards from subsequent generations. This card is best suited for legacy systems or non-gaming applications where a dedicated GPU is required.
Pros
- Low cost for basic display output
- Compact 198mm length
- Multiple display outputs
Cons
- Poor performance for modern gaming
- High power consumption for its class
- Limited VRAM for current applications
