This weekend I installed two of these ASUS cards in Win10 i3 boxes which 
did not appear to have adequate drivers available for their intel GPUs. 
Their RAM comes with a higher speed rating than the similar MSI card 
that I have been using with Myth master, Fedora 26, intel core2duo; I 
don't know if it's just a marketing number.  I had no problems.  Single 
slot width, passive cooling, seems happy driving 2x1920x1080 displays, 
one hdmi with audio, one vga.
