maxsun GEFORCE GT 710 1GB Low Profile Ready Small Form Factor Video Graphics Card GPU Support DirectX12 OpenGL4.5, Low Consumption, VGA, DVI-D, HDMI, Fanless Cooling

I bought this for my Home Theater PC. The PC has a Ryzen 5 4500 CPU with 16G DDR4 RAM on a GigiByte B550 MB running Win 11. Local A/V content comes from a USB drive connected to my router. The PC is on a 1GB LAN line. This is a fairly inexpensive PC to build (less than $500 in spring of 2024).The original video card had a fan on it (can't remember the model) that eventually started making noise. The machine is on 24/7.When you don't need a high-performance card for gaming, a card like this fits the bill nicely. It handles 4K resolution, requires no additional power connections, is dead silent, no lights, and not power hungry. And it plays well with downstream HDMI gear.The output of this card feeds a Denon 7.2 AVR that drives either a large display or a projector.I play most of my local files with VLC. I get full uncompressed 7.1 audio and 4K video out of the card. Streaming is mostly via web browser or PLEX. No sound/video sync issues. The card will decode multi-channel or send the data native and let the Denon decode (preferred).In short, for me this has been a great video card for a HT PC. I hope it will be reliable and last multiple years.

The card's fine for my use (not a gamer) and it's a pretty good price. I needed a graphics card because the built-in Intel graphics weren't taking advantage of my QHD monitor. Low power consumption was vital since I've already added a hard drive and a DVD drive to a system with a barely adequate power supply. I had some difficulty finding the right driver. I tried the NVIDIA site with no luck so I contacted Maxsun. They were nice but no help. Then I went to the Maxsun website which took me to the right place on NVIDIA's site where I was able to download the right driver. The driver doesn't support HDR but oh well.

I was looking for a small form factor video card that I could use in a Dell Optiplex 9020. This looked like it fit the main criteria, it was cheap.I'm learning a couple of new programs for hobby use, Lightburn and Blender. I have a course from Udemy that I purchased about 7 months ago that originally used Blender 3.x with all the examples in Blender 3.xRecently the course was updated and all the examples are now in Blender 4. When I tried to install Blender 4, I got a message saying that the 9020 didn't meet the minimum required graphics standard.When I received the card, there was no manual, no spec sheet, nothing except a package insert in Chinese (I assume, it could have been in another language). The card had a large format adapter but included a small format adapter. But the small format adapter had no place for the VGA output port.The VGA port was connected to the board with a ribbon connector, but the connector was behind the heat sink. One of the screws holding the heat sink to the card had an anti tamper seal.It seamed obvious that I needed to remove the heat sink, even if it meant destroying the tamper seal. After all the card was designed to fit in a small form factor case. So I removed the screws, and as expected the heat sink came right off.I popped off the VGA connector, reinstalled the heat sink, and installed the card.You will need to download the appropriate drivers from NVIDIA 474.64-desktop-win10-win11-64bit-international-dch-whql was the one that I used. Run the installer, reboot the computer and everything works like magic. Or at least it did on my Optiplex 9020 with Windows 10.A simple tech sheet explaining how to remove the heat sink would have made this much easier. Not putting the anti-tamper sticker on one of the screws (which you had to remove if you wanted to use the card in a SFF system) would have been nice.I have no idea of the performance of the card. It's good enough for what I want. And the price was right.

I have an HP computer and had to change some settings in Bios to make it work. It works very well.

I bought this to be able to hook a monitor to my QNAP NAS system so that I could install a different operating system. It does the job. I wish it came with a separate back-panel bracket for the VGA connector, since it has no place to go when using the low-profile mode, but that's not a serious problem for my use-case.

This was a good experience. Good communication, quick shipping, and product works great.. Thanks

I was looking for an ultra-quiet video board for my wife's computer. This fits the bill perfectly. She uses mostly text and web tools (Word, Excel, Firefox) and this keeps up, driving 2 HD monitors perfectly.

Very good exactly as described and what I needed
