I would take this card over any integrated GPU any day.

To those wondering about the target audience of such a GPU:
1. Most Xeons don't have iGPUs.
2. iGPUs share their BW with the CPU. This card adds 14.4GB/s of BW to the equation. Not much but still something.
It's not particularly hard to be BW-limited, particularly in openCL. Some of those entry-level cards (the older GT 720) come in GDDR5 variants. Now that can be a huge upgrade over anything an iGPU could provide.

For instance, I have an old desktop PC with SSD which I am thinking of passing on with a fresh install of Windows 10 on it.
Buying a cheap quiet passively cooled card like this makes sense, the recipients would get a perfectly decent productivity, light gaming computer that'd seem faster than a new budget PC with HDD only.

It's actually so slow that it competes with high end x86 CPUs so your Xeon system might just work as well without such a lousy external GPU.

I recently added a low end AMD card to a 5 year old Intel system because Intel apparently does not care enough for old Intel integrated graphics to fix the lockups.
I hope that the open source AMD drivers will keep working for the next 5 years.
(Upgraded the system to Ubuntu 14.04 from 12.04. Searching for a fix I only found a bug report showing me that this issue has been there on every kernel released the last few years.)

The DDR3 memory limits the performance of this graphics card.
This graphics card is basically useless for anyone with any graphics card or with any integrated graphics.
This card is only useful for people without integrated graphics and without a graphics card, if they want a cheap graphics card.
It would be interesting to see this benchmarked against Haswell, Broadwell and Skylake.
