I didn't realise you could get dedicated PCIE GPU's this small. It came in a small thin client device to extend the number of screens to a total of 6.

AMD Radeon E9173 PCIE
"Lexa" core
GCN14
14nm die
2gb VRAM
3 displayport (1 full size, 2 mini)

Pixel Rate: 19.50 GPixel/s
Texture Rate: 39.01 GTexel/s
FP32 (float) performance: 1,248 GFLOPS
FP64 (double) performance:78.02 GFLOPS

I've not tried it yet bu allegedly it's OK for basic gaming. I will try gaming on it if I get a chance although I don't have a spare copy of Windows to pop on the machine (it's a tiny small form factor thin client system with a Pentium J5005.

Looks like the WX cards, same cooler, but not blue. From the specs, it is equivalent to a 550, which is a 64-bit RX 550. Miles better than Intel integrated, but best at 720p.
Well that's a future project decided then... I have a really old Thinkpad T530 with a quad core i7 CPU and a 900p screen. It also has an expresscard slot and I know you can get expresscard to egpu adapters quite cheaply on ebay. I may have to see how it performs in games.

EDIT: Yes looks like a version of the AMD WX2100 workstation card. I assume Dell (which is the maker of the system I extracted it from) got them cheap from AMD at the end of their life, and used them in their SFF systems to add extra displays.
