I wrote a good review of this product and have not changed my mind. It is an excellent product. However, I did not check my facts before writing my review and was rightly corrected by more knowledgeable commentators. Here is my original review but please bear in mind that I was incorrect concerning energy consumption and remain grateful to more knowledgeable people (people who checked the facts) for correcting my errors:"Some reviewers have advised getting more powerful graphics cards than the superb GTX750Ti. That is all grandy and dandy but to the additional cost of getting say a GTX660, consider too the relative power consumption. Remember, the GTX750Ti is an excellent graphics card that consumes only 60 Watts.

Ordered this card to upgrade the integrated graphics in a SFF Acer. The acer already had 512MB of dedicated AMD Radeon graphics on board, but I needed more graphics memory - and 2GB DDR3 does the job nicely.The card arrived with a full profile bracket already fitted, and 2 low profile brackets in the box. The paper instructions don't explain how to swap them over but it's easy to work out. One issue in my Acer is there is only 1 low profile PCI-E slot free, so I have installed the card with only the HDMI and DVI ports available. I may be able to hack the case to install the D-Sub, but in all honesty i'm unlikely to use it.

A basic level, good value, low profile graphics card that's not going to be up to the standards of serious gamers, but one that has Windows 10 support and drivers and will do a great job for the average user.It's a small card, fitting a single slot in PCs with limited space as it has no huge heat-sink fans etc. The D-Sub output can be removed and a replacement ultra low profile bracket can be added to fit slimline PCs, leaving the HDMI and DVI outputs showing. Nicely, the card is supplied with 2 smaller brackets so no need for any additional purchases.Installation is simple (assuming you are OK opening up a PC) and it the card fits standard PCI-E slots and has no need of additional power cable connections.

I'll write a few comments that may benefit people who encounter similar issues to what I experienced when installing this product.Firstly, it comes set-up for a large PC and not a small form body. Therefore, very logically, to set-up for a small factor PC you just unscrew the connections and connect them to the two brackets that are included which then have to go into two expansion slot outlets.I'm assuming the issue I encountered next may be related to the fact that my PC was bought as a refurbished one (HP ProDesk). I haven't gone into the BIOS settings to alter anything there.I followed the instructions which stated that you install the graphics card, swap the connection over and restart the PC.

Update: I originally wanted to give this GPU a 3 star rating because it didn't work at all for most games I tried. I realize that it's my fault though; I shouldn't have expected the bare minimum GPU required to run complex games. I think a 4 star is more appropriate, given that it is a good low end GPU for those who aren't interested in doing anything particularly graphics heavy.I built a new computer a few months ago and purchased this card for some mild gaming. The following are the pros and cons as I see them:Pros:1) Quiet - I couldn't hear the GPU at all.2) Compact - It is really small and doesn't take up much space at all.3) Installation - It is very easy to install, relative to the more massive GPU's.4)

Bought this to install in an old-ish Core2Duo HP SFF machine. Running Debian Linux 9, OctoPrint (3D print server) and Simplify3D, the onboard graphics were no good, too slow - in particular for rendering visualisations of the sliced model prior to printing. Also, under Xorg, the Intel driver crashed (and hung the machine solid, not good when it's driving a 3D printer!!) whenever I tried to move the camera in Simplify3D's visualisation/preview, and could only be resolved by disabling 3D acceleration, which made it even slower!So I needed a cheap-ish modern card *with included low-profile brackets* to install in the machine, and this seems to do the job brilliantly.

Not normally into reviewing but after weeks of trying to identify a low profile, low power consumption GPU to upgrade my HP 8300 Elite SFF PC after a dead easy successful installation I felt I should write one.My PC had inbuilt DisplayPort and VGA and I need 2 displays. The VGA was blurry due to analog signal and digital monitor so was looking for a card with low power consumption that would run 2 digital monitors.Saw the MSI GT710 Low profile and was pleasantly surprised to find the TDP measurement (power consumption in watts) was only 19 which is incredibly low. My PC has a 230 w power supply and the PCIe slot has a maximum of 26 w per slot so I was somewhat limited.

For gamers who may be on a budget or just want a performance boost from a 6 Series Nvidia card this is for you. I have had this card about two months now and it is the best in have ever had in my computer. This card is by no means the best out there, but it is fantastic as a medium range card. I mainly play simulation and action games as well as strategy titles and this card performs really well with Euro truck simulator 2, Train Simulator 2015, company of heroes (with blitzkreig mod), Sniper elite 2\3 and Spintires all on medium to high settings of various degrees.For the money this is really worth it, admittedly if you want to make the most out not this card,

I am really pleased with the performance of this card. It allows me to play games in higher graphics settings.Here are some results I got using this card.(i3-2120 3.3GHz, 8GB DDR3 1333 MHz, 1TB HDD, Dual monitors each 1366x768)Battlefield 4: Ultra 45FPS, High 55-60FPS, Medium 70 FPSEuro Truck Simulator 2: Max settings 55-60 FPS, 60+ on lower settingsLeft 4 Dead 1 and 2: Max settings 130 FPSCounter-Strike Global Offensive: Max settings 120FPSLeague of Legends: Max settings 220 FPSAs you can see I tested a few games ranging from easy running to graphics intensive. This really is the best low profile graphics card that I've seen. Also a point for those installing it in PCs (slim or normal size)

Cons:1) its a long card so make sure you measure that it will fit!2) If your PC case is not flat at the back (so the hdmi etc ports sit flush with the rest of the back case) you may not be able to plug in a hdmi cable as the port is too close to the side of the case. im going to have to bend the metal on the jutting out part of my case slightly to let the hdmi cable fit.3)lack of sli support (for connecting 2 cards together)Pros:1) Runs cool when idle (25C) and under load (50C)2) quiet3) Runs modern games on ultra (crysis no lower than 30fps as its an horribly un optimised game, wolfenstein the new order 50-60fps, batman arkham city 45-60fps, HL2 full cinematic mod 2013 60FPS,

I was not expecting much of an improvement when this card arrived but I placed into my Rig and WOW I was amazed how well this card preforms for the price also it seems too add an extra cooling due too the twin frozer fans on it, I'm very impressed so far though I have yet too try a next generation games but I so far have tried Saints Row Franchise , Hit-man Franchise, Fallout New Vegas, Assassins creed 1 too 3 and Far cry 3.Most the games run on ultra to high settings at 60 frames, but I had to adjust Far-cry 3 Settings because it didn't like certain settings It was on. but now it runs a consistent 60 frames but on 720p. its amazing for the price and Iam very impressed I would recommend to anyone who is on a budget and wants to build a mid range to top range p.c.

I read the reviews yesterday morning, placed my order with Amazon, the item was delivered this a.m. and I was immediately up and running.Now for the product: I found my old OEM GeForce 405 graphics card was starting to struggle a bit and wouldn't run 4K (pixelated and jerky at best). It seemed worth a shot to see if I could find an upgrade that would make a significant difference. The GTX 750 reviewed well as offering reasonable improvement for not too much money.To install, I shut down my Windows 10 Acer machine, levered out the old GeForce 405 [tip: be sure to depress the catch at the inner end on the slot on the motherboard!] pressed the new card into place and on powering back up the machine came back to life immediately.

I bought this to put in my HTPC, which is connected to my 4K TV, and I'm pleased to say that it works flawlessly. I was expecting to have to buy at least an Nvidia GTX970 but, after some searching on google, I found that this card was supposed to be capable of 4K resolution. After some deliberation I decided to try this card, as it was a silly cheap priced item and I had no intention of gaming with it, and do not regret my decision at all. I had do a little jiggery pokery with windows scaling but nothing to complicated. All in all if you want a graphics card just to play or stream 4K video over your home network, I would highly recommend this cheap but more than adequate card.

For some time my graphics card had proved annoying. Powering up and down often twice a minute. I was advised to go for a fanless graphics card which I did. I was pleased with the easy installation though was initially confused by the plastic protection sheath that it is shipped with. Its been a while since I put a card in may machine and the protective covering seems to be a recent innovation. After installation when the machine booted up [I'm running windows 10] it immediately installed a suitable generic driver. I did subsequently download from NVidia their recommended driver. I am not a games player but do some work in Photoshop.

Decided I needed to brush up my Mac skills but didn't have the cash to drop on a new mac mini, alas.Fortunately had a Dell 9010 handy, discovered that this machine has good mac compatibility, set about installing Mac OS on it - all went relatively smoothly but the graphics didn't get along with any of the cards I had to hand.Didn't much fancy replacing the processor (which would have also solved the problem apparently) but read one of these would do the trick - and so it proved - working fine in Mac OS Sierra (haven't tried anything newer as yet...)Using with two 29" ultra wide monitors, the Dual Link DVI and HDMI connector will happily run both at better than HD resolution (2540x1080 60hz)
