According to Wikipedia it is a pcie rebrand of a Radeon 9550. If it is the version with a 128bit memory bus it would make a pretty good card for games from 2000-2003 about I think?

Main pc: Asus ROG 17. R9 5900HX, RTX 3070m, 16gb ddr4 3200, 1tb NVME.
Retro PC: Soyo P4S Dragon, 3gb ddr 266, 120gb Maxtor, Geforce Fx 5950 Ultra, SB Live! 5.1

If you can get one for free or already have one.. go ahead and try it out. If not, I wouldn't pay money for one. It was a super low-end card when it was released.

This card is really really weak but in a pinch it can run older games okish, just don't expect to run games like Oblivion and Gothic 3 very well.
