MSI Gaming GeForce GT 710 2GB GDRR3 64-bit HDCP Support DirectX 12 OpenGL 4.5 Single Fan Low Profile Graphics Card (GT 710 2GD3 LP)

Grandson complained that his games were running slow and ask for a new computer. I purchased this item and tried this option first. Worked great, saved Grandpa a bundle, LOL! But I'm still the HERO of the day. Easy to install and worked great! This is the second one of these I've have done this with and it worked both times. Different Grandsons. Would recommend to anyone.

some minor issues here n there but it works perfectly lol

La he puesto en mi ordenador HTPC con celeron j1900 para ver peliculillas, netflix y youtube y va mejor que con la gráfica de la placa madre. Para juegos antiguos va bien pero para juegos de actuales no da rendimiento, para office y tareas de ofimática va muy bien. LO MEJOR es que da cero ruidos al tener disipador pasivo y trae adaptador para la cajas HTPC o las torres normales.

I need a graphic card upgrade for a very old compact desktop PC, Acer Aspire A3910 from 2010. This MSI GeForce GT 710 is an entry-level graphic card that fits my requirements perfectly. Here are several reasons why I picked this card instead of something more powerful: - It is relatively inexpensive. - It is low profile and occupies only one PCI slot. This is important since my PC has a SFF (small form factor) case with limited space. - It consumes very little power (20W max), so even the 220W power supply in my PC can handle it. - It uses only heatsink for passive cooling. This eliminates the noise and reliability problems associated with cooling fans. [Installation Confusion] - Initially right after the graphic card was installed, I can only get a display of 1200x800 from the HDMI port. Nothing from VGA port. - After I installed the MSI VGA Drivers from disc, my monitor can now display 1920x1080 from VGA port, but nothing from HDMI port. The problem could be from my computer's motherboard, since I observed the same behavior with the EVGA GeForce 210 I previously purchased (and returned). Just keep this behavior in mind, in case you cannot see any display right after installing the card. [Graphic Performance] I ran the 3DMARK 'Cloud Gate' benchmark on my PC, both before and after the graphic card upgrade: - With integrated graphic, the overall score is a pathetic 209. - After installing the GT 710, the score jumps up to 3735! (see my uploaded screenshots for details) On the other hand, the GT 710 cannot hold a candle against my better graphic card, the EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti . When both cards were tested in a newer desktop PC ( Asus M32CD ), the 750 gives about 4x higher score . Note that the 750 does not fit in my old SFF PC since it is much larger. See my photo uploaded for size comparison between 710 and 750. [Power Consumption] I used the EUM-A1 Power Usage Meter to measure the input power of my computer: - Before the graphic card upgrade, my computer consumes ~50-55W when idle, ~70-75W when running 3DMARK. - After the upgrade to GT 710, my PC consumes the same 50-55W when idle. This means this graphic card has the same standby power as the integrated graphic chip set. - When running 3DMARK or XCOM: Enemy Unknown , my PC now consumes up to 85-90W. That means the graphic card consumes 15-20W when it is running at full speed. After I played XCOM for several hours, the heatsink becomes too hot to touch, but not hot enough to cause a shutdown. In contrast, the EVGA GeForce 210 suffers thermal shudown after just ~10-20 minutes of playing XCOM. This is because the 210 consumes more power (30W vs. 20W) but comes with a smaller heatsink. [Conclusion] The GT 710 works very well in my particular situation. Of cause this is an inexpensive entry-level card, so I cannot expect the same level of performance as my GeForce GTX 750 Ti. But for a very small investment, I'm suddenly able to play many games which were previously unplayable on my old SFF PC. For that I'm happy.
