Pros & Cons

Pros

✓ Fanless heat-sink cooling runs silent, no fan noise in HTPC or office builds
✓ Low-profile bracket fits slim and small-form-factor cases full-height cards can't

✗ MSI cites up to 10x integrated graphics, a low bar in modern gaming terms

Manufacturer description

The MSI GeForce GT 710 1GD3H LPV1 is a low-profile, passively cooled graphics card built for the jobs a modern GPU is overkill for: reviving a machine with no integrated video, driving a second or third monitor, or dropping display output into a small-form-factor or retro-leaning build. It pairs 1GB of GDDR3 on a 64-bit memory interface with DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.5 support, plus HDCP for protected playback. MSI builds the card with all solid capacitors to extend its service life, and the heat-sink-only design means there is no fan to whine, rattle, or fail in a quiet office or HTPC. The…

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the MSI GT 710 run modern games?

No. With 1GB of GDDR3 on a 64-bit bus, this card is built for display output, multi-monitor setups, and light applications, not current-generation gaming. MSI positions it as up to 10x faster than integrated graphics in everyday PC applications.

Will this card fit in a small form factor or slim case?

Yes. The GT 710 1GD3H LPV1 uses a low-profile design specifically so it fits slim and small-form-factor systems. Check the listing for which brackets are included and measure your case's clearance before ordering.

Does the MSI GT 710 have a fan?

No. It uses a passive heat sink with no fan, so it operates noise free. That makes it a common pick for HTPCs, quiet office machines, and any build where fan noise is a problem.

What DirectX and OpenGL versions does it support?

The card supports DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.5, and includes HDCP support for protected video playback. Driver-level feature support can change over time, so check MSI's current driver notes for your operating system.

Is the MSI GT 710 worth it at this price?

It earns strong satisfaction from buyers who need what it delivers. It makes sense when you need silent, low-profile display output or a GPU for a system with no integrated graphics, not when you need gaming performance.
