Needed the heat sink
In all honesty, I bought this for the attached heat sink. As the PC I was working on had never had a discrete video card installed, I did test out the combination. Compared to the on board graphics of the Core i5-2500s, this card provided a nice little bump up in performance, and should have been installed on every 8200 Elite USDT to leave the factory. I then proceeded to purchase several other MXM cards of increasing ability and wattage. I finally settled on an AMD Firepro M4000 which is about 7 times the power while slightly less than twice the wattage. During testing it never got too hot and is now capable of playing some decent games as well as handling high end graphics editing and some video editing. Keep in mind that adding a discrete video card will require that a high wattage power supply replace the standard one. HP made 180 and 230 watt units that would work with the 8200 Elite USDT. I was lucky to find a 230 watt here on eBay.
