Review on ASUS GeForce Profile Graphics Brackets by Micha Mitrut ᠌

Requires two slots to install. It makes no sense to buy this card for computers with modern 6th and 7th generation Intel processors - their HD 530 or HD630 graphics cores will be more powerful. I bought a video card to upgrade an old computer with an Intel Core2 Quad processor. The old card was weak and very noisy. Fast DDR5 memory is preferable to DDR3 - it's worth paying for. The second gigabyte is not needed, but there were simply no options with 1GB DDR5 and passive cooling. I do not plan to use for modern games, only Word-Excel-Photoshop. In this mode, the card has a temperature of 50-53 degrees The card is installed on an old motherboard with PCIe of the very first version. Some sellers write about PCI Express 2.0 16x compatibility or something else - don't suffer! On the package, the manufacturer writes that you need a PCI Express slot without specifying the version and the correct PCIe driver. My PCIe works with the card in x8 mode Was looking for a fanless card in vain. The case has a pair of 120 mm fans, which operate at 700-800 rpm to reduce noise. Plus, the power supply is inexpensive, but quite high quality, has its own 120 mm fan. To my surprise, the FSP Q-Dion 80+ power supply turned out to be the quietest element of the system. Then the Zalman processor cooler goes by the noise (at a reduced 1200 rpm) and the most noisy ones turned out to be rather expensive 120 mm case fans operating at a reduced rpm of 700-800. At 1200-1300 they make a lot of noise. Hence, the idea of ​​buying a fanless video card turned out to be wrong. It's just that I used to have a too loud card with a small fan. One could buy a card with a large, quiet fan, rather than looking for passive cooling, limiting oneself in the power of the video card. As a more budget option, you can buy a GF 730 video card with 1GB DDR3, it will still be many times more powerful than old video cards from 10 years ago. GeForce 710 do not buy - too weak processor
