ZOTAC GeForce GT 710 2GB DDR3 PCI-E2.0 DL-DVI VGA HDMI Passive Cooled Single Slot Low Profile Graphics Card (ZT-71302-20L)

The last time my dad came out to visit, he brought a massive ATX tower desktop. Knowing his requirements (and looking inside at how empty the case was), it was clear that this was way too much case and way too little PC. We went and picked up a salvaged Dell Optiplex 755 small form factor PC, then I cleaned it up and added more RAM and a hybrid hard drive. There was one problem left: the Core 2 Duo's internal graphics were hilariously awful, struggling to push 1080p playback at all. It was obvious that he needed a graphics card, just about any graphics card, to make it usable. The case is slim, only about 4" side to side, and there's no PCIe riser, so I was limited to half-width cards. he didn't need much, nor did he want to spend much, so this card was the lucky winner. This was my first adventure into Zotac graphics cards. I've heard mixed reviews on their higher end stuff, but this was a good opportunity to step in and see how their lowest end stuff performs. I *do* want to feel them out before deciding on a GTX 1070 model for myself, after all. The GT 710 was more than enough for my dad's needs, the low-profile form factor was great, and the passive cooling made it completely silent. 1080p playback was flawless. YouTube looked and sounded great with no stutter or distortion, and local media files played just fine. The card runs a bit hot, but that's to be expected from a passively cooled GPU in a compact case. ...that didn't stop me from trying to overclock it, though. Because I was already pushing the limits of what this cheap OEM power supply could handle, not to mention the thermal limits of the card, I didn't go too crazy. I did get a nice little +60MHz core, +200MHz memory bump. Because I was perfectly stable there and hit only my thermal limits, the card probably has some more headroom for a better overclock in a bigger case with more ventilation. That said, under no circumstances would I consider a GT 710, let alone one powered by DDR3, if I were shopping for a gaming rig. The card just isn't designed for that, and even low settings at 720p will offer choppy framerates and bad graphics quality. To put it into perspective, I still have a GTX 260 from my old PC lying around. That GTX 260 can run rings around the GT 710. The 260 is from 2009. The GT 710 is from 2015. Consider that if you're thinking about using this card for gaming, no matter how light. That said, no one really markets the 710 as a gaming card. It's marketed for what it is: a card to add HDMI support to a PC that doesn't have a built-in HDMI port, or for old computers that need a cheap replacement for outdated untenable graphics that can't keep up. If you keep that in mind, temper your expectations and understand that you're just not going to get a brand new, high end gaming card (or any worthwhile gaming card, for that matter) for $40, you'll be very happy with this purchase.

The good: Plays Grand Theft Auto 5, plays World of Warcraft, plays all kinds of stuff I simply didn't expect it to play. I sold my GTX 660 Ti and relegated my 8 year old Xeon workstation to server duties -- this card was simply a "I need video outputs on the server" card. Then I changed my mind, and sold my i7-2960qm/Quardo 5010M 4gb laptop, and started using the desktop again. I can't believe this card runs almost everything at around 30fps with settings turned down, surprisingly reliably, though not quite perfectly. Extremely impressed. If you want a cheap card that'll impress, and you're not looking to brag up your system to friends who throw a lot of money at theirs, this card is probably a good bet. Specifically GTA5: I drop the resolution down to get the FPS required for the faster parts, and it delivers. The benchmark rarely dipped under 30FPS. Settings are all pretty much on their lowest, but the game still looks just fine, and plays great, including car chases and shootouts. Specifically World of Warcraft: runs awesome almost all the time on so-so settings with particles turned up to see spell effects/danger zones on the ground and view distance nudged up a few points. Every once in a while in WoW boss fights it lets me down, and crawls badly enough that tanking becomes more challenging, but it's rare. This includes LFR EN. Skyrim runs pretty choppy. I haven't really made use of it. It doesn't have a way to see FPS that I know of, but I'm guessing it's between 5 and 10 FPS during the first attack. Side note: I have, however, ordered another card to let me crank all the settings up. GeForce Experience is requiring a login now even to run software updates. That bugs me a lot. So, I went with an R9-380 (highest benchmarking card I've ever owned for a great price). My first ATI/AMD card in probably 18 years. Almost entirely because of the login requirement, but also because the price/performance was amazing. $99 for a 380 is fantastic. Passmark has it way faster than my old 660 Ti and for basically the same money.

I put this into an eleven year old system board with a PCIe Gen 1 slot (nVidia nForce 405 chipset, AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ processor.) It did degrade gracefully to PCIe v1 eight lanes. Running Elementary Linux 5.0 "Juno", this worked OK with the default open source driver but was noticeably better when the AppCenter was used to install the closed source drivers. Installation was very smooth. The nVidia driver does reduce clock automatically to cut down on GPU heat when not loaded. Temps- idles at 40C. When bumping the GPU utilization to 72% with an OpenGL based screensaver, temps went to 70C. At no time did it throttle back or outright fail because of excessive heat. Since there is no fan to speed up on a heavy load, it will heat up, but the heat sink has proven adequate, although not great. Does work with Steam, if you are not too ambitious. It is an entry level board! This does not work with VirtualBox VMs and accelerated video (Linux host and guests). For that, lay off nVidia and get an AMD Radeon board; you will like the fact that AMD supports open source development while nVidia remains hostile to same.

REMINDER!! This card is not intended for heavy to moderate gaming purposes. It is meant for LIGHT gaming such as minecraft, stardew valley, among us, etc. It will run fortnite, GTA V, call of duty, etc., but it will not run smoothly or perfect. You will end up playing those games that require a heavier graphics card at a really low framerate and ugly graphics. Besides gaming, the gpu functions mostly as a display for monitors. It can handle windows applications and softwares. Long story short, great gpu for the price as an basic entry build built for light gaming and basic uses.

If you're looking for a 2GB gfx card, for a discount price, this is your card. I play on an i5-2400 (olddd processor), w/ 8GB RAM; with this card, I get 30 frames on Fortnite on LOW, with 3D res at 85% (1440x900). I just got Sleeping Dogs 2 for Free (Epic Games Store); this game needs a minimum 3GB card, and yet on all LOW, low resolution display, with 3D tweaked, the game is PLAYABLE (not perfect, but not near bad enough to ruin my experience even slightly), and looks really well (and the gameplay is OMG). Garry's Mod runs without issues, besides the minor pause when loading a HUGE item, but it runs GREAT, so any SOURCE engine game will run really smoothly... As far as ordering from ZOTAC... ZERO ISSUES!!! The product, the packaging, and the delivery time ( can't beat next day :D).. EASILY 5/5.. I look to upgrade to a 3GB card VERY soon, and ZOTAC will definitely be included in my search terms :D Thank you !

Review for ZOTAC GeForce GT 710 2GB DDR3. CONS: I could not get this card to work in an older Dell XPS 420 with a Q6600 CPU. I tried this in 2 identical systems running Windows 7 Pro 32-bit in a relatively lightly loaded, bare-bones configuration and received the same error message about driver crashing and recovering. Tech support suggested viewing Microsoft's suggestions on tweaking the registry to nurse sluggish GPUs. I tried this as well as setting the display parameters for performance and there was no change in behavior. PROS: I placed this card in a newer system (i7-4790K Windows Pro 64-bit) and it ran with no problems at all. On the "pro" side, this card runs very cool for a passively cooled setup. Most often, the idle temp was about 33 deg C and medium load was around 45 deg C., which is very impressive.

Upgraded my Ivy Bridge Celeron G APU graphics with this card. I don't play games so that wasn't a consideration, but I watch a lot of video and noticed a lot of frame drops with 1080p material using integrated graphics. This particular PC runs Ubuntu 14.04, displaying on a recent-ish Samsung LCD TV via HDMI. This Zotac card fits in a single PCIe x16 slot, even with the passive heatsink. The install process was simple and less hassle than I thought, since my BIOS defaults to using any PCIe card as the primary display. Had to download & install the proprietary nVidia GPU drivers but this literally required 2 clicks after opening the Additional Drivers program. I use the opening few minutes of my Quadrophenia BD as a graphics test because playing the beachscape in VLC used to look like paint melting off a wall. It looks fine now. Graphics aren't perfect as I see tearing and some judder in VLC, but none of that is apparent playing the same content in Kodi. I saw a few frame drops with the Two Towers 1080p but these were minuscule compared to frame drops under integrated video. Bonus surprise: the nVidia drivers added a bunch of new GPU data to my pSensors screen, I didn't even have to do anything, they just showed up. So I'm able to track GPU temp, activity, bus use, etc.. Despite being installed right next to another card, GPU temp always falls after I stop video and it never gets too hot even during a 90 min 1080p movie. So the passive cooling is sufficient for my use. One glitch: using the nVidia driver's default settings, dark scenes were almost unwatchable. The screen went mostly blank as black rendering was way off between this card and my LCD display. Fixed this by limiting RGB color range in the nvidia-settings program, now dark scenes look fine.

I needed a Graphic card to work on a 32'' Tv, so I grabbed the ZOTAC GeForce GT 710 2GB. It came on time and works flawlessly. Package is decent with the hardware and the software CD. No fan on the cooler, as this one is basically an entry level card and I did not get it for any gaming, but just for a decent resolution on a bigger screen. I am very happy with it. One thing I cannot tell; is how long it will last but it looks decent and of course it is a GeForce product. I believe for a basic gaming PC and or if needed for a big screen monitor that is the Ideal. For hardcore gaming, you may need to look further.

Ottima scheda video da buon rapporto qualità prezzo come tutte le schede nvidia compatibile con linux. Funzian molto bene anche su pc più datati

This is not a high-end card. It was my cheap alternative to my GT240 which blew its fan. This card has no fan, and video output is available at all 3 outputs simultaneously. It is now running in my 12-yr-old Pentium PC.

كارت 2 جيجه ولا يشغل ببجي وبدون مروحه تبريد لا انصح بشرائه

Got this up upgrade a low power Media PC. I like having a totally silent system and this passively cooled card fitted the bill perfectly. The on-board graphics were struggling under Linux when playing back flash or any video over 720p. *Notice* The specs say it requires a minimum PSU of 300w top work (Ignore this!!). My system runs off of a 90w "laptop brick" and the card works perfectly! I had to use a PCIe x4 to PCIe x16 adapter. PCI-E 4x to 16x M/F Riser Card Adapter Extender Cable Ribbon 19cm Gray since my motherbaord only had a PCIe x4 slot. I thought that it might cause a problem with data or power but it works. I now can play 1080p video perfectly. if you have an old PC you want to use for something useful with it. This card will upgrade it to a good media box when used with Plex or Kodi media centre software!!

And the very timely delivery is something you will always wanted.
