I was of the impression that everything back farther or less powerful than the 750 was no longer supported.

It's on the security update track, the latest driver was from February 2024 and supports though Windows 11, the last driver update from a 10 year old AMD card, the R9 200 series, was 2022 and doesn't officially support Windows 11.

I see a GT 710 on Newegg for $40 (a Gigabyte variant). Considering it has Windows 11 support it would make for a great spare card for emergencies, say if your nice expensive RTX card had to be RMA'd.

"sports a low-profile design optimized for SFF rigs and HTPCs"

I'd argue that it is, in fact, not a good choice for SFF and HTPCs, when it doesn't do AV1 decode, and occupies 2 slots.

Single slot low-profile with AV1 decoding exists in the form of Arc A310 from Sparkle. In fact, it even does AV1 encoding.

Asus new GeForce GT 710 EVO comes with a passively cooled heatsink, HDMI, DVI, VGA, and 2GB of GDDR5 memory... the GPU manufacturer has decided to release a new GT 710 graphics card
Click to expand...

Are you sure this is a new GPU from ASUS ? ASUS even released a VGA driver for this GPU last year, dated 2023/11/28. I have seen this exact same GPU being sold online at various e-tailers worldwide.

But if you have the link for this new model, please share. The article is not having any link/source.

On their official website, I couldn't find any other model.

Yes x 1 (Native Dual-link DVI-D)
Yes x 1 (D-Sub)
Yes x 1 (Native HDMI 1.4a)

for 0.37 TFLOPs is really necessary this card?
Intel HD Graphics 4600 from Haswell 2013 has 0.3-.043 TFLOPs, AMD A10-6700T (2013) 0.58 TFLOPs.
the case uses for the 710 is very narrow.
 
I used to buy tons of these for work. Easy, cheap way to add additional monitor support. Totally fine for everyone who didn't need a GPU to do GPU things, just more displays. It's sad it's still being manufactured. I'd like to see something like an RTX 3010 or 4010. Especially with AI trickling down to the average consumer, there's benefits for things like RTX Super Resolution and SDR to HDR conversion without the need for gaming power, though chips like these could probably still handle low-end and older title gaming just fine.
 
I'm still using a GTX 750 and GTX 950 GPU in 4th Gen Core-i7 CPU PCs running Win10. I'm not a gamer and these older systems work fine for my needs, which is mostly productivity, running a Plex server, and web browsing. I'm planning an upgrade to Win11 with 11th Gen CPUs, but will likely keep using the GTX 950 for one system and maybe an RTX 3060 for the other, as my visiting grandson does some light online gaming. For more serious games I have an XBox and PS5 for him to use. I refuse to chase the bleeding edge. Been there, done that years ago. It's futile.

What about the hundreds of thousands of machines with AMD processors which lack an iGPU, or with Intel F series CPUs which lack a GPU? There's no such thing as a "modern" basic GPU anymore, this fits that bill nicely.

What does the amount of TFLOPS have to do with anything? Nobody is buying this card for compute.

That's what I was saying in the other thread but people tried to prove me wrong by showing some entry level cards. Thing is, all of those new cards are still behemoths compared to stuff like this and the reason is simple -- there are no entry level chips. It's the same huge monolitihic die (at least for NVIDIA) which is in the top end cards with some units fused off, most likely because they weren't working anyway.

for an extra monitor output makes sense, for tinkering and troubleshooting an USB options would be more versatile, I guess the drivers would be an issue.

as emike09 said, at least a 3010 or 4010 with AV1 and upscaling would be nice, selling 710 these days feel very cheap for Nvidia and ASUS.

Why would someone want to pay for AV1 capable card which is 2-3 times thicker, needs active cooling, and uses way more power if they don't need AV1 to begin with?

Not every computer user is intravenously hooked into a video stream.
 
It is loved not because it is great, but because it is the cheapest way to get those CPUs with no iGPU to work. If you want a better card, I think the Arc A380 is the best all round option. To me, at least it is a great compact card that does modern encoding/ decoding well. Gaming wise, so so. The AMD solutions at the same price point is really not good at anything.

Nvidia no longer make chips for 710. I thought they already decided to replace them with GT1010 a few years ago for a market that want something similar to 710. This is most likely 710 chip that Asus still have in their inventory.

I'd rather use the Intel UHD Graphics on my CPU. It's faster than GT 710.

GT 1010 is rare as hens teeth. Good luck finding one. I don't think they are made anymore.

The K620 is still supported which is a 384 shader Quadro version of the 750. Uses hardly any power, close to a 1030 in performance (according to Techpowerup), and is selling on Ebay for $20 right now. Biggest problem is it just has DVI and DP 1.2 out. So you need an active DP to HDMI adapter if you want to run a 4k monitor with it.

Don't buy this card.

I've bought it, because my main GPU died after a water leakage. The 2D is there, the 3D and even in browsers is "terrible". You have to OC it to an avg of 1300Mhz, and still it's slow.

Waste of money.

It is, but games usually suffer when not running on AMD/Nvidia hardware.


I actually bought a GT 710 two years ago for an older machine but it wouldn't boot with the GPU. It's not compatible. Wasted 60 euro *shrug*

That kinda sucks that these new GT 710s are too new for old PCs that might need them.

Officially nvidia never release GT1010. it is GT710 replacement since nvidia no longer make the chip used in GT710. the issue is we probably not going to see any GT1010 on the market. AIB for one did not want to sell anything below $150 if possible.
