The power of PCIe x1
The GeForce® GT 710 with PCIe x1 interface, a NVIDIA® Kepler™ based GPU with 192 CUDA cores clocked at 954 MHz. A powerful leap of functionality and graphics performance beyond integrated graphics.
With this half-height, half-length form factor and low power consumption, this card is able to maximize compatibility in many systems. Combined with the ability to connect up to 3 displays through DVI, HDMI, and D-Sub, it targets those looking for convenient alternatives to expand the number of displays they have available along with higher resolutions.
Older computers that lack PCIe x8 or x16 slots, systems with multiple add-in cards, and those with integrated GPUs that are unable to handle modern programs/OS can benefit greatly from this card as it can give them a boost in graphics power without breaking the bank. Another benefit would be towards rackmount style servers which can only accept half height cards and have sub-optimal embedded graphics solutions.
With the slim profile passive cooler, not only will there be less wear and tear, you will also save on power draw. Totaling at 25W, most systems can forgo a power supply upgrade as well. So, if you are looking for a cost effective way to boost your graphics power or add additional displays with a PCIe x1 interface, this is the card for you!
