Review on ZOTAC GeForce GT 710 1GB DDR3 PCIE x1 Graphics Card - DVI, HDMI, VGA, Low Profile (ZT-71304-20L) by Kevin Schnitzer

It's not for everyone and there are better cards out there but it worked for what I needed. I had an ESC motherboard with j1800 processor built in and wanted to try a graphics card for a very cheap build. The board only has one PCIe1 slot so I couldn't buy a regular graphics card and that was the only option. I read a lot of bad reviews about a cheap card being a waste of money but I took a chance. Well it worked, performance increased by 30% in tests. I've played a few Steam games on it and averaged 35 fps on medium settings. Tested Skyrim and it plays 32 fps, very playable. Tested Call of Duty 4 and it plays at 55 fps, very playable. Tested Oblivion and got a very playable 36 fps. Tested Resident Evil 4 and got 30 fps, very playable. My build: ESC Bat-1 motherboard with Intel J1800 2.8 Dueling Core installed. ($45) 8GB RAM with 1333. ($35) 120GB Sand Drive SSD. ($45) Zotac GeForce GT 710 1GB Graphics Card. ($45) Dell ATX 300W PSU repaired. ($20) Windows 10 Pro 64bit is not activated. (Free) Silverstone SG13B Mini-ITX Case. ($35) 2019 Update: I got another one, but this time it wanted to work with Windows 10. I've used it in Ubuntu and it works fine. I'm not sure what changed, but it stopped working on my Windows machine. Maybe my motherboard bios or a recent windows update made it incompatible. Update: Tried different motherboards, different drivers, different windows os and nothing will work with windows. Maybe he's wrong
