710
ok, so, a while back i picked up an evga 2gb ddr3 geforce 710 on sale. Initially it was just a graphics adapter, but im trying to see what the little card can do. ive overclocked it a bit to about 1 ghz. could it run games like skyrim SE, bioshock infinate, shadow warrior, and dota 2 at 720? low-medium settings of course. Thanks

You were right in thinking it's just a graphics adapter, because that's what it is. It is woefully underpowered for gaming. Keep to the least demanding esports type games and 720p might be playable. For the other games, being willing to play at low resolution helps but it doesn't solve the core problem of the 710 being unsuitable for gaming.


Dota yes. Skyrim will sometimes run a 30 fps. The others nope.
