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 9060 XT LP
7.5 / 10 Expert Rating
One of the best low-profile 1440p cards available; the only real question is whether your case actually needs the low-profile form factor at all.
