That would be the point of the review. If the APUs are better, it would prove the card doesn't need to exist. lolAgreed, but since when does office work need a dedicated GPU? An AMD/Intel APU would certainly be better in this particular situation, IMHO there's really no point in this card existing, especially with only 2gb VRAM
Exactly, so why do companies keep doing it? As posted above, same with the 1030, what was the point, flooding the market with random crap and hoping something sticks?That would be the point of the review. If the APUs are better, it would prove the card doesn't need to exist. lol
In AMD's case it was left over mobile chips that were not selling so they put it on a PCB and released it so as to not waste the silicon. If all you need to do is light up a display its good enough.Exactly, so why do companies keep doing it?

like your Aunt Judy who needs something that works for her new 4k monitor that is scaled up 200% so she can read the font, but her jurassic Dell optiplex cant run 4k on the intel IGP.Before Zen 4, Ryzen chiplet based CPUs didn't have GPU out. What if you need the higher performance of those CPUs than an APU with more cut backs at a given core count?
Even if you have an APU, maybe you need more display outputs than the mobo provides.
I didn't realise the 6300 was a downclocked 6400, and further crippled with half the VRAM quantity and bandwidth. In nvidia's case, the 1030 was a dedicated smaller die than the nearest 1050.
There will always be situations where there could be a use for this. It certainly isn't for everyone, but those that want it can have it. Before anyone says, get an older used GPU, that path is not an option in many situations.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas!like your Aunt Judy who needs something that works for her new 4k monitor that is scaled up 200% so she can read the font, but her jurassic Dell optiplex cant run 4k and the intel IGP.
