VisionTek Radeon 6350 SFF 1GB DDR3 3M DMS59 (2x DVI-I, miniDP) w/ 2x DVI-I to VGA Adapter
The VisionTek Radeon 6350 SFF is a compact, energy-efficient graphics card designed to unlock more productive multi-monitor setups in small form factor systems. With 1GB of DDR3 memory and DirectX 11 support, this card balances everyday computing, multimedia playback, and light gaming with a focus on reliability and versatility. Its DMS-59 connector delivers dual display output through two DVI-I ports, while a mini DisplayPort adds another pathway for modern displays. Included 2x DVI-I to VGA adapters ensure broad compatibility with legacy monitors, giving you flexible configuration options right out of the box. Ideal for home offices, media centers, or compact workstations, this VisionTek card provides dependable visuals without requiring a full-size PCIe graphics powerhouse.
- Flexible multi-monitor capability in a compact form factor. The Radeon 6350 SFF is purpose-built for small desktops and HTPCs. The DMS-59 interface supports two DVI-I outputs via adapters, enabling a dual-monitor setup to boost productivity, expand desktop real estate, or create an immersive multi-display workstation. The included DVI-I to VGA adapters broaden compatibility with older displays, ensuring you can pair legacy monitors with modern screens for a seamless, staggered or extended desktop experience.
- DirectX 11-enabled graphics with everyday performance. Designed to deliver smooth 2D and 3D rendering, video acceleration, and responsive user interfaces, the Radeon 6350 brings DirectX 11 capabilities to budget-conscious builds. This means crisp 1080p video playback, improved shader performance, and reliable frame rates in light gaming titles or GPU-accelerated applications, all while remaining mindful of power consumption in small systems.
- 1GB DDR3 memory for everyday tasks and basic gaming. The card’s memory configuration supports everyday workloads, multimedia tasks, browser-based GPU acceleration, and casual gaming at modest resolutions. While not a high-end gaming solution, the 1GB DDR3 memory pool helps keep textures and windows rendering snappy, particularly when running multiple apps or browser tabs side by side on a dual-monitor setup.
- Multiple outputs to match your display setup. With 2x DVI-I outputs accessible through a DMS-59 breakout and a dedicated mini DisplayPort, you can tailor your display arrangement to your workflow. Use two DVI-DI compatible monitors for an extended desktop, or connect a modern monitor via mini DisplayPort for high-resolution output. The architecture supports flexible configurations, making it suitable for productivity tasks, content creation, and media-centric use cases where more screen real estate matters.
- Easy integration with existing systems and quick driver support. This card is designed to slot into standard PCIe x16 desktops, simplifying upgrade paths for aging systems or compact builds. It supports widely available drivers and multimedia features that keep your drivers current with regular updates. The combination of a compact design, compatible display outputs, and broad driver support makes it an accessible solution for upgrading older machines or adding a second display to small form factor PCs.

How to install VisionTek Radeon 6350
- Power down your computer, unplug the power cord, and ground yourself to prevent static discharge.
- Open the chassis and locate an available PCI Express x16 slot. If you are replacing an existing graphics card, remove it and carefully set it aside.
- Insert the VisionTek Radeon 6350 into the PCIe x16 slot with firm, even pressure until it seats fully. Secure the card with the case screw to hold it in place.
- Connect the display outputs to your monitors using the included 2x DVI-I to VGA adapters for legacy displays, or connect a monitor to the mini DisplayPort for a modern single-display setup. If you plan to use both DVI-I outputs, attach the adapters to the DMS-59 breakout accordingly and connect your displays.
- If your system requires driver installation, boot the computer and install the latest VisionTek or AMD drivers from the official site or the supplied CD. Reboot if prompted to apply the new drivers.
- Power on, configure display settings in your operating system to extend or duplicate the desktop across your monitors, and adjust resolution preferences to suit each display. Ensure the correct input sources are selected on each monitor, and verify that both displays are recognized.
- Test multimedia playback and 3D/applications to confirm smooth performance. For gaming or GPU-accelerated tasks, adjust settings to balance quality and frame rates based on your monitor resolutions and perceived performance.
Frequently asked questions
- What configuration does the VisionTek Radeon 6350 support?
