This video card is good only for office if You need card for multimedia and undemanding games I suggest you:
XFX R7-240A-CLF2 Radeon R7 240 2GB 128-Bit DDR3 Low Profile Ready Video Card.
For a little more money offers much better performance, it is equally quiet and has a much better memory bandwidth.

And don't know about ati graphic cards which has these features. i'm sure i have given you a satisfactory answer. For further any help or to thank me you can mail me on my email [email protected]
well if your trying to game on a pc the 5500 isnt quite sufficient. If you dont know about nvidia you are about 5 generations back of days cards. So the card wont handle any of todays games. If your really trying to game i suggest you build/buy a new rig. But as far as playing videos, quality should be good. Try goin to nvidia.com and downloading the newest drivers.
