MSI GAMING GeForce GT 710 1GB GDRR3 64-bit HDCP Support DirectX 12 OpenGL 4.5 Heat Sink Low Profile Graphics Card

So far it has not stopped working like it's predecessor (different brand and model) did eventually. Figure if anybody is going to make a solid video card, it's MSI.

I bought this for an old HP Compaq DC5800 small form factor and it was the easiest upgrade. No issues with installation or set up as all I had to do was install GeForge and drivers were updated. Great silent video card, low power usage, 1GB is plenty for Netflix, YouTube, internet (bedroom PC's primary function) and some Steam games. Hooked this up to a 40" Samsung TV via HDMI and no lags or issues - perfect video! I love it! I have used nothing but NVidia for about 20 yrs and have never had issues. Great card for the price!

This is not, nor has it ever been, a gaming card. It IS, however, a great general-purpose card and a nice upgrade from older onboard graphics that are quickly becoming unsupported by Windows 10. This is the low end go-to card for quick upgrades when you want dual monitors and such to use with home computing or light business work. With DDR3 and 1-2GB of RAM this card will bottleneck on games quickly.Our repair shop builds custom gaming computers and does upgrades on older machines and has for 20 years. Although this card is good for what it is, at the price it is, it should not be featured as a gaming card.

This is the second GT 710 1GD3H LP that I have bought in the past 2 months and this one was installed on an EMachines running Win XP Media Edition 64 bit. The first driver download from NVidia for the XP 64 bit OS would not accept the hardware so it refused to install. So I downloaded a 32 bit Win XP driver from NVidia and it installed after flashing a warning screen first then proceeded with the install without any problems. The card runs as smoothly as the other one that I bought previously for a Dell desktop upgraded to Win 10 Pro. The main snag that some people seem to be having with this card is the install procedure. With the computer off, unplug the video cable from the desktop, install the card, plug the video cable into the card then turn on the computer. After booting, run the NVidia driver for the operating system you are using and the driver will install. You must have a video cable plugged into the card before booting the computer. You cannot preinstall the driver before installing the card. The card is not expensive and uses only a small amount of power that my 300 watt power supply provides.
