MSI GeForce GT 710 2GD3H LP Graphics Card '2GB DDR3, 954MHz, Low Profile, Low Consumption, VGA, DVI-D, HDMI, HTPC, Silent Passive Fanless Cooling System'

Primarily bought for a HDMI output as the RGB I had been using was so blurry that doing any kind of work on my computer was impossible. Like many people in the reviews here I purchased it to use with a refurbished Dell office PC I bought on here a while ago and as far as I can tell it's the only option for a low profile, low wattage graphics card south of £100 and despite having never done so before i had it installed in minutes. There's a number of videos on YouTube imploring people not to buy this card if they're wanting to 'game' on their computers but apparently what they mean is that you won't be playing the latest first person shooters in 4k 60fps with this thing but that was never what I was looking to do anyway. Steam games like Euro Truck Simulator 2 (yes I am that boring) run smoothly at almost highest settings and for emulators (my primary interest) it's been a revelation. I'd hoped to get my old Saturn and GameCube games running reasonably well with this thing but have found that it's more than capable of upscaling the latter quite comfortablly up to 1080p. Out of curiosity i tried to run a few Wii games on it as well and was delighted by their performance also. Getting greedy and having too much time on my hands I tried to run a Wii U emulator and have found that it can even run a number of games on that platform quite smoothly and I suspect that the times it does stutter are more to do with my processor than this card. I'm currently experimenting with overclocking and it looks like you can get quite a bit of extra oomph out of this card without it becoming concerningly warm. I wish other reviewers took into consideration that not everyone has the budget to buy higher end cards as some of the negative takes I read almost put me off getting it but considering the breadth of things I can do with this up against its very accessible pricing I would buy this again in a heartbeat and recommend it to almost anyone.

Dell Optiplex 780 DT; AOC E2270SWDN VGA / DVI-D 21.5"; Manjaro Linux. I had been using the on-board graphics prior to installing this card. I was concerned that the battery on the motherboard would obstruct the heat sink. But the heatsink is above the battery so no problem. Overall a 10 minute job. No problems. To remove the full height backplate to install the low profile backplate it is necessary to remove the screws either side of the ports. The ideal tool for this is a 3mm socket but my socket was too thick so I used long-nose pliers. Note that to have the VGA port in low profile it is necessary to occupy two backplates so slot 2 becomes unusable. But I'm not using VGA so I unplugged that port from the card which left me with HDMI and DVI-D and I'm using DVI-D. The pack comes with a full height backplate installed and two low profile back plates, HDMI / DVI-D in one and VGA in the other. Last but not least I went into the bios (F12) and changed graphics to the card. Nvidia is the best for Linux and rightly famed so no drivers were needed. The one and only problem was software related: When playing a video in VLC it would start with white flashes. The fix in VLC is Tools - Prefs - Video - change Output to X11. A good buy for me.

This is fine as far as it goes, it will drive a hi-res monitor. But the issue is the refresh rate. My own monitor is 144hz, but with this card the max is 60. It is silent, its relatively inexpensive, it installs easily, the Nvidia app comes in a linux flavor and allows easy configuration. If 60hz is all you want, need or can afford, and if a fanless card is a high priority, this will do the job. Just think about it and be sure that is what you want. By the way, for any linux users running a hi-res monitor and struggling with the resulting tiny display, you fix this using xrandr and scale the display up. If you are using a smaller monitor than you wish to be able to use, perhaps to take a screenshot of a large item in high density, you can use the panning feature of xrandr. This is complicated to explain, but essentially the desktop you are looking at becomes a window into a larger and higher res one. You then in consequence can only see part of it, so moving the mouse to the edges will pan over this larger display. Anyway, its fine as far as it goes, just make sure the tradeoff is one you really want. I think in retrospect I would have bought a better one had I realized, but it will do for now. [Added a few days later.] After research it turns out maybe to be possible to set the refresh rate directly using xrandr, and not simply use the alternatives that it offers. May also be possible in Windows. I have not tried this yet, but here is how you do it. In xrandr the command is: xrandr --output <monitor designation> --mode 1920x1080 --rate 60.00 where the monitor designation is obtainable from xrandr run with no options, the one now used will be the connected one. The mode must be an already defined node, also obtainable from running xrandr. It will be one of the offered choices. The rate will be the refresh rate desired, which of course should not exceed the rate supported by the monitor. It might be wise to use gkrellm to check the temps of the card while doing this, and only to raise the refresh rate in small steps, eg from 60 to no more than 85 as the first step. This one after all is fanless.

Cheap triple-head card. I'm not interested in the GPU (for gaming) so no idea of its performance, but am comfortably running two 2048x1152 and a 1920x1080 landscaped/portraited monitors for coding/desktop apps. Fanless so quiet too. (Also use one of those USB3 to HDMI dongles to add a fourth monitor at 1920x1080 and, despite my reservations, this also works beautifully so quad-monitor rig for under fifty quid!!! :-) )

I bought this graphics card to replace an old geforce 7900 GT card I originally had installed in my machine. As I was experiencing problems after upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 as the original card was not fully supported in Windows 10. I have now instilled my new Geforce GT 710 and am no longer having these problems, so very happy. Within the box comes a couple of low profile bracket's that can be used to replace the full height bracket that is comes factory fitted to the card, so that the card can be installed in a small form factor PC. I am very happy with this card and it is a great price. I got the 2GB version which is a big jump up from my previous card which only had 256mb on it. So if you are looking for a cheap general purpose upgrade that is compatible with Windows 10 then you can't go wrong with this card.

Firstly, let me start by saying that by 2016 technology standards this graphics card will not amongst the best for gaming nor will it do everything a £200 graphics card will. I did a lot of research before buying this card which was to replace a GeForce GT7600 in an aging Sony Vaio Desktop Model VGC-RC204. I had an intermittent fault which would sometimes result in the PC not booting but, since upgrading to Windows 10 it hasn’t failed to boot but, has instead had to restart after experiencing an issue. The PC is running windows 10 (it’s been upgraded along the way from XP Pro) with a Pentium D chip 3.2GHz running at 3200MHz, I had specific requirements which were 1. It needed to be low profile and quite thin as there wasn’t much room where the existing card is. 2. It had to be PCI-E 2.0 or PCI Express or PCI-E x16 – they are all the same thing! 3. It had to be an improvement on the GT7600 as I wasn’t going to fork out £34.98 for something that was worse than I already had. 4. It needed to be a reasonable price as the desktop is nearly 10 years old and I didn’t want to throw lots of money at it. 5. It needed to be quite low power consumption ideally less than 35W as the PSU is 300W and the old GT7600 was rated at 35W so I didn’t want to fry my motherboard. 6. I wanted new rather than take this risk of a second hand card that had a better specification. So I worked backwards from the GeForce website making comparisons on the basic cards for all the above points. I then went to a benchmark site to compare the old and new and what sort of improvement I might see. The GT 7600 had a benchmark score of 165 and the GT 710 scored 647 a vast improvement although the GTX 970 is 8660! Don’t get me wrong this is no GTX970 as it’s a fraction of the price. I benchmarked the desktop before and after the install with the previous card scoring 53 on and the new one scoring 77 from NovaBench telling me that 3D frames per second had increased from 176 to 246. As I don’t use the card for gaming I haven’t noticed any real difference except I now have a more stable PC which doesn’t crash as frequently as it used to. Other reviewers asked why you would buy this card. Well the simple answer is that you might be replacing a graphics card in a 10 year old PC and are restricted by size, power consumption, PCI-E 2.0 or price and therefore your options are much more limited. The card was easy to install for me with limited PC expertise. It comes with Low Profile brackets a quick set up guide and drivers disc. I installed the drivers direct from NVidia before install ensuring I had the right version for Windows 10 32 Bit. The only issue I experienced was that Windows was installing the drivers automatically via the wizard so this had to finish before the NVidia driver software would upload. Although this has HDMI and DVI-D outs I had to use the VGA as the desktop is hooked up to an equally old Sony Bravia 26” TV and the HDMI connection resulted in a worse picture than the VGA. Sadly the TV is only designed to connect to a PC via VGA according to the manual. All in all this had enabled my beloved desktop to carry on its day to day tasks at a reasonable cost so I’m more than happy. I will post an update if I experience any reliability issues.

The card is working fine with my main use for this card was my computer only had VGA output but now have HDMI on one screen and DVI working on the other so a perfect upgrade for my old W7 now W10 computer. Installing is very simple and setting up was all done by W10 and worked first time start up. I have had problems with the drivers with my computer updating a couple of weeks ago to the latest W10 1909 version that stopped the computer from updating and being stuck in the boot up screen that required re-installing Windows to get going again. I think, but can’t be 1005 sure, this problem might be down to the latest Nvidia driver for this card as I have not updated them after re-installing Windows and all is well and hope the next W10 Spring update does not crash my computer again. Overall though very happy with the card for how much it cost me but don’t use it for games.

Absurdly slow by today's standards (about the same as onboard GFX so no good for gaming) but its supported out of the box by macOS up to and including Catalina, so for hackintosh or qemu+VFIO it's ideal - no drivers to install. Also obviously works out of the box on Linux using nouveau and eventually got it working on Windoze with Nvidia drivers. Smaller and cooler than my passive GT610 which has a massive heatsink in comparison! Would get 5 stars if it had DisplayPort - VGA/DVI is a bit oldskool really, but at least it has HDMI for audio and video. Update: downgrading this as had two from Amazon Warehouse and the first had non-functioning HDMI audio and the second had some of the box contents missing and almost no packaging - was obviously a return not a refurb, one came from Germany and one from Scotland or something.

Die Grafikkarte funktioniert wie beschrieben. Ich habe damit einen alten HP Compac Elite 8300 CMT aufgerüstet, sodass der PC nicht mehr den integrierten Grafikchip und den RAM verwenden muss. Die 2GB VRAM sind mehr als ausreichend. Es lassen sich auch Spiele damit spielen, allerdings funktioniert hier definitiv kein Cyberpunk 2077 oder Fortnite. Für die eine oder andere Runde Counter Strike Source oder Star Wars The Old Republic ist es jedoch mehr als ausreichend. Die 20W wurden nicht überschritten, somit muss kein neues Netzteil zusätzlich eingebaut werden. Weiterhin funktioniert die Bild- und Tonübertragung über HDMI tadellos. Auflösungen bis zu 1920x1080p sind drin zum Arbeiten. Die Grafikkarte selbst wirkt stabil und wertig, trotz der geringen Leistung aus heutiger Sicht. Das Kühlsystem (passiv) ist mehr als ausreichend, aber ein zusätzlicher Lüfter oder eine gute interne Luftzirkulation kann auch nicht schaden.

Billigt men bra. Har flera av dessa som jag kör i lite gamla servrar

C'est la troisième carte que j'achète, non pas pour jouer mais pour de la bureautique. Reconnue parfaitement par W10 et W11 ainsi que par des distributions Linux comme Mint, Zoran et Ubuntu, elle fait parfaitement son travail. Un bon achat pour un prix très raisonnable.

Good value card, don't expect miracles from a GT710. Use it on my little home server, it's passive so no noise -- awGuru.com --

The MSI V809-2000R NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 is a fantastic low-profile graphics card for basic tasks, home theater setups, and older systems that need a reliable GPU upgrade. I’ve found it performs well for general use and light multimedia tasks. Pros: Silent Passive Cooling: The passive cooling solution keeps the card completely silent, which is perfect for quiet setups or home theaters. Despite the lack of a fan, it remains cool and stable under light workloads. Compact and Flexible: This card fits easily in both low-profile and ATX setups, offering versatility for smaller cases or builds where space is limited. Solid Performance for Basics: For web browsing, HD video playback, and general productivity, this card is more than adequate. It’s a good fit for users who don’t need high-end graphics power but want a step up from integrated graphics. Cons: Limited Driver Support on Latest Ubuntu Versions: The only drawback I’ve encountered is with driver support on the latest Ubuntu releases. Getting the card fully recognized and optimized can be challenging without reliable drivers, which may be an issue for those on newer Linux distributions. Overall: This GT 710 card is a great budget option for basic graphics needs and works well in silent, compact builds. While driver support on recent Ubuntu versions could be improved, it’s still a 5-star choice for those looking for a no-frills, low-power GPU solution.
