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'

Cheap and cheerful, does the job for a basic office PC without onboard video.Bought for the support of UEFI GOP, as UEFI boot is a necessity for by-the-book Win11 upgrades.

Perfect for the job, runs 3 monitors quite happily

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 60.00where 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.

Works perfectly for my use case: streaming to twitch and YouTube via capture card. Had issues with other low profile cards but this is great.

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.
