📊 Performance Expectations
This GPU is not designed for demanding modern gaming. It’s best suited for:
✔ Multimedia (1080p video and 4K display support)
✔ Office productivity & web browsing
✔ Multi-monitor display setups for productivity
✔ Older or very lightweight games at low settings
Many users note it’s very limited for modern games — even at low settings (e.g., PUBG or newer titles) performance can be below 30 fps or barely playable, and results vary widely depending on the game and settings.
