Verdict
AMD Instinct MI210
7.3 / 10 Expert Rating
A practical, PCIe-slot-friendly way to get CDNA 2 compute into a standard server, useful for smaller HPC and AI deployments, but clearly the entry point of its generation next to the dual-die MI250X and now well behind the MI300 series.
AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE
6.8 / 10 Expert Rating
A solid 1080p/1440p RDNA 3 card that's essentially an RX 7600 by another name; buy whichever is actually available and cheaper in your market.
