Zotac NVIDIA Low Profile PCI-Express Video Card ZT-71113-20L

Ok for the price. Pretty much lives up to the manuf. claims. One issue which is very annoying is that the HDMI port is a loose fit. The HDMI cable doesn't stay in very securely.

The graphics card works well. At load (overclocked +100 on CPU and +200 on memory through MSI Afterburner), the high temperature recordings from TechPowerUp's GPU-Z measured 77 C. That's pretty good for a fanless heatsink design, especially at 79F room termperature (south LA).I can definitely see an improvement by using discrete GT 730 graphics versus Intel 2000 (i5-2400). It fits the Dell Optiplex 790 SFF PC case but you do need to apply some pressure to squeeze in the PCI-E brackets with small force.As for gaming performance, who knows? This is good for home theater PC and 720p gaming at low resolutions. I wouldn't dare add any extra graphical details, given that the architecture is based on a rebranded GT 630 v3 (kepler) series, which although is 28nm, is an optimized version of the GT 430, which was released in 2010. So although the price:performance ratio is pretty debatable (poor), its intention/audience targets the small form factor (mini-itx) pre-Haswell (intel hd 4600 integrated graphics) computers. Considering that low-end computers built before 2013 had poor integrated graphics, the GT 730 is a decent upgrade - provided you can get one below the $50 price point (used/refurbished). However, getting a 750ti or gtx 1050 for around $100-$120 is actually a more preferred investment in terms of entry-leveled gaming at 1080p according to modern game standards. Nonetheless, the GT 730 is okay for MOBA's or less-demanding 3D games (2D games, indie side-scrolling games, pre-2010 games, RTS, etc). I can definitely notice some hardware acceleration coming into play from Google Chrome after installation (vs intel 2000 graphics).Is it a good value? Yes, if you're getting a used sff computer on ebay/craigslist/amazon below $150 with intel 2nd/3rd gen CPU's with small 240W power supplies. Is it a good value for gaming? Debatable. At 720p with low resolution and low expectations, the answer is yes because you're pushing the GPU at 100% to yield good frames per second. At 1080P, i'd just limit myself to movies/youtube and/or two-monitor display. The fact is Intel and AMD already have current integrated graphics that already outperform the gt 730, meaning it's going to be obsolete within a few years. Thus, this is a very niche product.This is my first time buying a Zotac product. I think they have good solid features. No complaints. I look forward to trying other products from them in the future!

works as advertsied

I have an old desktop pc and needed something with more power for running scanning software and some basic cad/can programs. I replaced an Nvidia 315 that was decent for its time. This one is working well with the exception that the monitor ports are pretty close together and the Hdmi port dies not hold a cable tightly so I can't plug in 3 monitors at once. I can plug in the other 2 ports just fine and my monitors can user those so I'm good to go but this is annoying.
