Hi,
I wanted to try some tech demo and I ended buying an Asus Geforce GT 710 PCIEx 8x to run in Linux. I didn't want to spend much money and this had Opengl 4.x compatibility. I knew it was a low end, but what do you think, is it much bad? Unigine Valley demo run at max detail around 10/15fps at 1024. Some Unreal Engine 4 tech demo run quiet smooth.
Thank
Today's integrated graphics--even the ones from Intel--will leave that card in the dust.
That said, if it's for an older platform and you're just trying to get accelerated GUI and video decoding, it'll do in a pinch.

It's about as fast as the old gt240 ddr3
Thank. I'd have bought a HD5450 or another R5 but I think the differences were not so much. I tried the card in Linux with the original drivers and it's not much bad. Other cards I was considering were the GT730 DDR3, the R7 230. The GX 460 were too expensive.
I'm no more expert in modern video cards as I was a long time ago. After the ATi X1800XL I stopped upgrading for gaming machines. 😉
In the office I replaced Sandy Bridge HD graphics with GT 710 Cards. For a 3D CAD program this is an improvement: No more stutters, and anti-aliasing actually works.

Well Sandbridge HD Graphics is more akin to a Geforce 3/Radeon 8500 in preformance, but the newer ones like in my Surface Pro 4 are comparable to say an HD4650, and a friend has one of the new Skylake Irsis Graphics laptops, and he said it compares well in benchmarks to the likes of a GTX 650 in preformance
An Asus GT 710 with 2GB RAM on a Phenom II X6 1090T was performing less (considerably) than a GTS250 on an Opteron 180 during a Crysis test... And yes, I was really surprised. 😊

because its comparable to a GT240 DDR3 like i said, which is about the same speed as an 8800GS or 9600GT, and considering that Anand called the GT240 the card that doesn't matter that gives you an idea. An 8800GT is faster than it

Intel HD can have all the performance in the world but when I cannot get anti-aliasing enabled in particular programs, I am left looking at jagged edges, and making screenshots of models with jagged edges. I hate it that intel left things like that. AMD/NVidia give options to decide for oneself.

Thank for the answers. Maybe I'll not use this card a lot but more for some low res games to try or tech demo. Actually I switched back to the RS880 but hope to test it later if I'll get a Phenom II X6 or a FX-8150.

its useful to simulate older cards like a 7900GTX or x1900XT would be similar, so it makes a pretty decent DX9 card except at high resolution where its memory bandwidth may choke

Compared to a Radeon R5 230 how it perform?
