GT 730 4GB

I am not a huge gamer but I needed a decent video card that fit my old PC that I use to run my Rouvy cycling training application. This worked great! Video performance is absolutely not a problem on a 2K monitor either all the details turned up.

The fan on the original Graphics Card that came with our HP computer died. To be fair, you need to understand that the computer is install in the killer of all things electronic - Hawaii. The combination of humidity, salt ladened sea air and airborne grit stirred-up from adjacent street traffic all conspire to undermine the integrity of indoor electronic devices. Added to that, large air circulation ceiling fans to help give an indoor movement of air "breeze" help the human feel a bit more comfortable but accelerate the contamination to the equipment. - This Graphics Card was a bit of an upgrade - has more onboard VRAM and 2 much larger fans which should address the weakness in the cooling that took-out the original card (the Fan became very sluggish and finally froze and then would thermal and hang but with the fan noise was so low (usually a good point in home office) in this case was completely overshadowed by ambient ever present background noise (remember the aforementioned street traffic) so there was no notice warning of the ailing fan. Even with the upgrades it still didn't require external power. - This all lead to an easy replacement install. Although not the same brand as the original, switching the configuration to using onboard graphics, deleting the original Graphics Card from the hardware configuration, powering-off, swapping-in the new card, and powering back on was all it took, as the new device was recognized upon power-on-self-test and the appropriate device driver was found. Now the option of once again having enhanced Graphics support when need has been restored. Glad these cards are still available and at an affordable price. We'll be better able to judge this success after having lived with it for a number of months to see how it holds up, but given it's more robust cooling design and dual fans I expect it to exceed the OEM part (HP power tower computer) performance and lifespan.

Easy installation kinda scary how easy it is. I use a HP Elitedesk 800 G1 SFF (an older machine) and it was very easy installing it. The driver part was a little bit confusing with the specs of my machine but it worked. It can run pretty good games at around medium tier resolution. The fps takes a hit at around there. It is unplayable at high and very high resolution but medium and lower is playable with pretty good graphics. I’d def say purchase it if you need a quick quality gpu for a game you really want to play that is unplayable with your system graphics. I really needed one for bannerlord mount and blade 2 and it runs that pretty well on medium to low resolution. For me I’d give it a 3.5-4 stars but for price purposes it’s easy 4 stars. Thank you guys for making the product and I would def suggest to buy it if reading above fits your guidelines

I am enjoying the specs on this video card. It may not be the ultra ultra sigma card on the market, but it is locking in to video games, recording/streaming to twitch, and supports three monitors. Where would I be without 3 monitors. Great video card for a budget. Stay's quiet and cool. I haven't had a video crash yet. Hi endurance for mid video games.

It was easy to install, and then reality set in. The fan was noisy, and not just a steady hum. It sounded like a fan with a dry or worn bearing. since it was a new item, it is reasonable to assume that the product quality was low, not to mention that the noise was unpleasant. The picture appeared to have a slight, thin, film over the entire image. The image was not as bright and clear as the original HP equipment. There was no paperwork at all. None. The return is in process.

The graphics card works perfectly fine. Definitely was easy to install for anybody who is wondering how to install the driver the driver for this is GeForce and you wanna download the 10 series you’re gonna need the 10 series to be downloaded for this graphics card to work to its full capacity. Nvidia Website should have it and remember it’s the GeForce 10 series you’re gonna have to restart your computer after but anyone who is wondering how to get the driver that is it

It came in a box that was MUCH too large so I transferred the cushioned ESD package to a plastic bag with the box label for immediate storage. This card is just insurance for the DELL 7050 SFF if the presently installed Video Card has a problem and needs to be replaced. I really don't know which one is better, since the 2GB DDR-5 works perfectly but the 4GB could actually work the same or even better. At any rate, making sure that the card will fit into the DELL SFF is important and this is the time to have an alternative ready. The computer is an i7 and very fast so when it gets into deep graphics territory I want to be prepared. (Sometimes these cards can be very hard to find.) Like the other card it has the SFF plates that require some disassembly and rebuilding in order to fit into the SFF format. A Great Deal without breaking the bank! The more massive Graphics Cards that run hotter and require more cooling don't seem as necessary for just Graphics. For gaming and high frame rates yes, but as long as there's enough RAM (32GB) that fixes a lot of potential problems that might otherwise cause an operation to fail. As it is, this computer has been set-aside for future use. The full desktop that I'm using now does everything with massive SSD external drives that will simply transfer everything to the newer i7 should something fail. Over the years it has become important to keep thinking "what next?" and be prepared for anything that could possibly happen, to avoid waiting, delays, and getting the right parts for repair.

Very basic graphics card. It worked fine, but the fans were very loud and I couldn't get over it. Good for starter builds, but if you have the money, get something from a newer generation. Preferably a 4060 or 4070.
