The Yeston RX550-4G LP D5 card uses an aluminum heatsink and is cooled down by a 50mm fan. The top of the card has a pink color metal shroud that looks quite fancy, and it also helps in further heat dissipation. The card is only 170mm in length and is excellent for use in mini-ITX and slim cases for building an HTPC or small form factor budget gaming PC. The power consumption of the card is rated at 40W, and it does not require an external PCIe power connector. The recommended PSU for the card is 300W. Display connectivity options include VGA, HDMI, and DVI-D ports. P.S. – If you want a passively cooled low profile single slot GT 710 card then I would suggest you get Zotac GeForce GT 710 1GB DDR3. MSI GeForce GT 710 2GD3 LP Specifications This low profile graphics card supports 2 display outputs. You can choose between the HDMI and dual-link DVI-D for the best display options for your particular computer setup, ideal if you want to be able to choose between multiple display options. The card comes with 2GB 64-bit GDDR5 memory which is more than enough for video editing, photo editing, and normal gaming on medium settings. Unlike GT 710 this card can run older and mid-level games like Skyrim, Call of Duty, Far Cry, and CSGO on medium-high settings at 720p and 1080p. The card temperature remains well under 60 degrees even at full load. It does not need external PCIe connectors and comes with VGA, DVI, and HDMI display ports. Full-Length – Full-length PCI’s are usually up to 12 inches long (312 mm). Although, it’s very rare to come across full-length PCI slots, as many modern-day cases cannot support them.

So the problem I’m having is that my old upgrade card (a Radeon HD6670 from Sapphire, which I installed after finding a tiny-enough 400W replacement supply,) died after a few years’ use; I subsequently replaced that with an Nvidia GT1030, which just died today. In hindsight I vastly prefer AMD over Nvidia, which preference in addition to my dimensional constraints is presenting problems. GeForce GT 710 is an entry-level graphics card from Nvidia built on the Kepler GPU architecture. The card comes with 192 CUDA Cores and 1GB / 2GB DDR3 video memory. This graphics card is way better than the most integrated graphics solutions and can be used to play older games like Counter-Strike, Cold Fear, Splinter Cell, etc. Also, this is a great cheap graphics card for a low-cost HTPC setup and setting up multiple monitors at your workplace or home.
