PNY Geforce GT 710 2GB DDR3 64-Bits Fanless Graphics Card

The PNY GeForce GT 710 2GB DDR3 64-Bits Fanless GPU, powered by the GK208B variant of the GK208-203-B1 chip, is part of NVIDIA’s GeForce 700 series. This is built on the Kepler 2.0 architecture. Manufactured by TSMC using a 28 nm process, the GPU contains 1,020 million transistors and has a die size of 87 mm², with a transistor density of 11.7 million per mm².

This graphics card connects to the motherboard via a PCIe 2.0 x8 interface. With a core clock speed of 954 MHz and a memory clock of 900 MHz (1800 Mbps effective), it is equipped with 2 GB of DDR3 memory on a 64-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 14.40 GB/s. The GT 710 features 192 shading units, 16 texture mapping units (TMUs), and 8 render output units (ROPs), alongside a single SMX unit.

The card has a modest theoretical performance, with a pixel rate of 3.816 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 15.26 GTexel/s. In terms of computing power, it delivers 366.3 GFLOPS for FP32 (single-precision floating-point) and 15.26 GFLOPS for FP64 (double-precision floating-point).

As a fanless, single-slot design, the GT 710 is compact, measuring just 145 mm (5.7 inches) in length. Its thermal design power (TDP) is only 19 watts, making it an energy-efficient option that requires no additional power connectors. The recommended power supply unit (PSU) for this card is at least 200 watts.

For display outputs, the GT 710 includes one DVI, one HDMI 1.4a, and one VGA port, offering versatility in connecting to different monitors. The card supports DirectX 12 (feature level 11_0), OpenGL 4.6, OpenCL 3.0, Vulkan 1.2.175, and CUDA 3.5, ensuring compatibility with a broad range of applications and games.

Although it has reached end-of-life status, the PNY GeForce GT 710 remains a reliable choice for users seeking a low-power, affordable graphics solution for basic computing tasks, multimedia playback, and light gaming.
