Passive of 1 single slot (small heatsink) DOES IT EXIST?

[albridi]

Hello everyone !

I'm looking for a passive graphics card for multimedia (like the ASUS GT 610 Silent), but all the ones I find have a heatsink "too high", and they eat up a PCIe x1 that I need to have operational :wall:.

Do you have any suggestions with similar or superior performance to the ASUS GT 610 Silent, but that don't take up so much space?

Best regards!

There is a Zotac GT610 that meets what you want, but I don't see it for less than 60€ or outside of eBay or similar. Then we have an MSI GT720 that, in addition, I bought last week to fix a computer and that is more powerful and cheaper:

MSI VGA NVIDIA N720 1GD3HLP 1GB DDR3 :: APPInformatica.com ::

Hey, thanks Yorus, the ZOTAC 610 nails it ;D!!

Do you have any idea if it runs with NVIDIA's "generic" drivers? I say this so as not to add unnecessary software in case I get it.

As for the MSI GT 720 2G (797Mhz), I had seen that one, but I was a bit puzzled that the processing speed is slightly lower than the ASUS GT 610 1G SL (810Mhz). Do you think that small difference will be noticeable in performance? I currently have the GT 610 and sometimes I notice it "just right".

Regards!

Generic, do you mean the ones that Windows installs by default or the ones from Nvidia?, because in any case it is always advisable to install the latest from Nvidia, better than the ones that come on the CD, which will always be more obsolete.

As for performance, I'll give you the points they get in the Passmark test, which should not be taken to the letter but serves as a guide:

Nvidia GT 610: 356 points
Nvidia GT 720: 777 points

The GT 720 in this test is twice as fast, although both are VERY low range.

@Yorus:

¿Genéricos?, ¿te refieres a los…de Nvidia?...es recomendable instalar los últimos de Nvidia...

Exacto, a eso me refería :sisi:!!
@Yorus:

En cuanto a rendimiento…
Nvidia GT 610: 356 puntos
Nvidia GT 720: 777 puntos
...

Interesante, thanks !!

He estado mirando la serie 730 de ZOTAC, y me da que voy a tirar por ella ;D.

Gracias por todo, te debo una .

Saludos!

The 730 is the best, of course.

A pleasure to help!
