GT cards are actually great for media living room PCs/non gaming PCs, this might be a nice upgrade for the GT710 I have in my secondary workhorse PC right now.
these are not meant to be for gaming, just everyday graphics acceleration like for videos, encoding/decoding, UI, Web and windows stuff, and to connect more monitors to work PCs and so on.

How much of an uplift do these provide over the integrated graphics of recent Intel CPUs and AMD APUs?

Do you think this will perform similar to a GTX 750? If so, I could totally see myself getting one for my HTPC.

Hey, my GT 1030 was pretty good for 720p gaming. 480p gamers rejoice!

I might end up picking up one of these myself, as a Ryzen owner with no backup GPU right now, at like 50 bucks or so this would be a good "waiting on RMA" card.

Would a card like this work for game streaming, or is it too low-end? So if I were to build a HTPC and maybe want to put Moonlight on it to stream games from my legit PC, would I have issues?

Yeah, I think I may do the same. I'm pretty sure I'll have to hold my current GPU for a good while until stock gets better before upgrading, but if it dies, yikes. Rather have something like this as backup.

If I just want play Melty Blood (and some old fighting games) and Nihon Falcom games I could be good with this? I'm half joking here, because my shitty tablet laptop GPU can already do this but I want build a proper rig.

No reason why it wouldn't, but if you're building an HTPC, it'd probably be cheaper and more efficient just to get a processor with a good integrated graphics.


To anyone else asking for recommendations for this card, if your use case isn't one of these two things, don't bother.

A: you want a cheap way to connect additional monitors to your current setup

B: you are using an older machine (think DDR3, yes that old) and don't already have a dedicated graphics card AND you specifically need something to accelerate 4k video decoding or play simple modern indie games.

For any other reason, there are better and more cost effective solutions. This is a very niche product.

That's a good idea too. I'm more thinking I have an old computer laying around - this could maybe be what I need to make it a Moonlight/HTPC.
Would be great if there was a low-profile model. I could build it all into a nice little wooden box.

These kind of GPU are aimed at those office Desktops, where connections and media capabilities are important. It lets the company upgrade the Desktop capability without replacing it. It doesn't make much sense to the mainstream public
