MSI Computer Video Card

Definitely recommend it. I was installing this inside my HP Elite desk 800 G2 desktop. Had to remove the blue connector that was for the front USB ports of the computer and installed the gpu. Had a scare when I was getting a black screen. And then I pulled the GPU out and started the computer back up without plugging the USB connector back in found out that all I had to do during the black screen after a beep noise was press enter on my keyboard and then it was very simple put the GPU back in and went through the of listening for the beep sound and pressing enter on my keyboard. And then after about 4 minutes I got to my desktop screen signed in downloaded the NVIDIA drivers for it and then it detected my GPU after restarting my computer. It was a very simple process. This is a very good card. I ran a bunch of games on it cyberpunk 2077, mad max, Mafia 3, Mafia 2, Need For Speed Most Wanted 2005, Need for Speed carbon, they all can run maxed out on this computer at 1080p 30fps, was able to definitely run Crysis at maxed out 1080p 30fps if you're looking for a budget computer with this card as well, as I said at the beginning of my review HP Elite desk 800 G2 sff small form factor PC along with the CPU will get you around $500. And all those games I've mentioned in my review you can run. Definitely recommend this card. Had no issues got it used.

First, the housekeeping. This graphics card is massive. You may need to make some adjustments if you have a standard desktop case. I had to crimp down a notch on one of the expansion slots in the back so the card would seat perfectly in the motherboard interface. I just used a small pair of pliers to complete this. Take the time to learn the layout of your chipset and case and be very gentle when installing this card. While it is not flimsy, the card pins on the bottom are somewhat obscured by the fan shroud and headers (yeah, you read that right😁). For some reason, my card didn't come with an installation CD. No big deal. Just go to the NIVIDIA website and download the latest software which optimizes game settings for you. Next thing: power. You'll need at least a 500w power supply. I use the EVGA which comes with a 6 pin molex connector that plugs right into this graphics card. NOTE: if you have anything other than an ATX motherboard, you're going to need a 20+4 pin to P2 adapter which is available right here on Amazon. Now for the fun stuff.What's your game: Fortnite? Apex Legends? Call of Duty? At GDDR 5 with 4 GB of RAM, this game plays the above games at high and epic settings with ease and runs as quiet as the internal fans. NOTE: this card does tend to whir in a standard desktop case. Not to worry. I just removed the side panel and the card stays cool and very quiet. To add, when you run games like Fortnite on optimal settings, you may experience some freeze frames. THAT'S NOT YOUR GRAPHICS CARD - IT'S YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION. I have experienced this with both ethernet and wireless so I tested the speed of my internet connection and sure enough, I'm just under 10MB which is not optimal for online gaming. Nonetheless, I make due by lowering the settings a bit which compensates well. Lastly, the price point. Hands down, the best card you can buy for the money and performance output which trumps other cards within its price range. Overall, I am very happy with this card. It has revolutionized my gaming experience and I know it will do the same for you.

I bought this back in September. Delivered the first week of October. I waited a while to review so I can test it out and see how it was. Now I waited until my return window closed.This GPU is a great entry level for gaming. It’s cheap and works really well. At medium settings I can get 60+ FPS at 720-1080p (depending on game)I previously had an MSI R7 240 2GDDR3This makes that GPU look like a dinosaur in comparison. It is way faster. The default clock speeds are WAY higher. And this has GDDR5 which is faster than GDDR3I am using it in a Dell Optiplex 790 DT (it’s the mode right above SFF, so it’s still a small form factor case. But the PSU has more wattage and the case is a bit bigger)Even though the PSU has low wattage, this GPU works great. Because it gets its power directly from the motherboards PCI slot itself. No external power needed. Just plug and play..Windows 10 auto installed drivers but I proceeded to install NVidia Experience. Etc...Also Nvidias replay doesn’t work on this GPU so if you want to replay I recommend using an app called “Medal TV” it has the same functions has Nvidia replay and works perfectly.I would definitely recommend this if you’re on a budget.. but if you do have a higher budget get the 1650 Low Profile

This is an excellent low profile video card for small form factor machines that have the room. It does not require an extra power pin set, and can massively bump up low end machines as far back as the 2007 dells and HPs, provided you're running at least windows 7.This is a 2 slot card, with the extra slot to the left, so make sure you have the room for it before ordering.The outputs on it are HDMI, DVI- (meaning it has the - slot, and not the + slot in the pinset, so using one of those regular DVI to VGA adaptors won't work.) and a DP plug, which if you need VGA, there are plenty of adaptors you can pick up for cheap for this.The fan noise is somewhat low, although it'll ramp up with some games. On average, is pretty quiet.While not as powerful as the 1650 low profile, it also means it doesn't get as hot.If your computer has only one slot available for the low profile, I'd recommend getting a 1030 or an RX550.
