## Description

Review: A great compact fanless graphics card for high res low noise builds. Can be painful with linux. - This is the card to get if you need a fanless card for normal desktop work on 4k type screens with decent UEFI support. A lot of fanless cards can't even display 4k let alone manage decent performance like this card. It only over heats and throttles if you try and use it for computation flat out for too long and don't directly cool it. I tried it's video encoding and it spent most of it's time throttled down. The card is also small enough to not need a slot support and will easily fit in a compact case (e.g. a 2U rackmount). I didn't actually buy it for a silent build but in order to have a less cramped build when using multiple graphics cards while passing through a high powered graphics card to a windows VM. This high powered card has a similar db to a jet engine under load when it gets too hot and wasn't going well cramped in with a super high speed NIC, high core CPU and silly fast NVME drive. This card solved the problem and has hugely reduced temperatures without me adding any fans. So .. buy this if you need high res. and minimal 3D. It's great for any 3D desktop effects your into, and You can certainly play older games and some simpler modern games with this card, but you may need a fan / open case with low ambient temp. to prevent throttling. If you have such a retro CPU you need it for video decoding you probably can run a decent looking dekstop at a decent resolution anyway and would be better paired with a cheaper card. It pays to use the propietary drivers under linux if you want a slick high res fancy desktop like kde and gnome with loads of effects .. but as they aren't open source they aren't well integrated and can cause no end of problems .. e.g. required more work than I could be bothered with to integrate with my monitoring software (libre) .. the only hardware I have in a large stack like that, doesn't like wayland at all, required hacks to allow DDC (which I used for switching displays when doing VM passthrough) .. oh yeah .. and required fixes to work with the recent kernel I was using. I or someone like me would have patched all them of course .. but it's not open source .. so .. you're really better off with AMD for linux or if you can bear it .. using the open source drivers (they're not that bad .. but personally I get tweaked out by clunky mouse pointers or 2 bit colour 4k res desktops). As far as I can tell .. there is no extra pain under windows vs other graphics cards so do not hesitate if you're going for main use in windows.
Review: It works - Not the best graphics card around by any means but it can handle any game out today with a decent CPU behind it and with passive cooling only is completely silent, which is what I needed, so would recommend for any causal gamer such as myself (serious gamers will probably want something with more power). Also has two outputs, HDMI and DVI and can handle two screens easily.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Working well on simple games.
*by E***E on 21 October 2023*

Not tested on more demanding games but great on simpler ones. The display is really impressive and adjustable. Was very easy to install, recognized by Windows and its drivers were updated by Nvidia automatically. Well presented with back-plate fitment which I did not need on a Dell Optiplex tower desktop. Very pleased overall.
