Overview
MSI builds this GeForce card on a compact low-profile board so it fits small cases and smaller gaming systems. A single fan cools the NVIDIA graphics chip, and the card offers three common display connections.
The reason to buy is its size: a dedicated GPU that fits a slim desktop and adds modern outputs. The limit is raw capability, since the memory type is older and the bus is narrow, so it suits office use and light play.
Who it's for
Owners of small-form-factor PCs and builders adding a second or replacement display output will use the compact board. Players wanting smooth modern games need a stronger card, and anyone with a full-height-only case should confirm the bracket they have.
Pros and cons
- Low profile board for small cases
- Three display connector types
- Single fan cooling
- Capacitors chosen for longer lifespan
- Entry-level graphics capability
- Narrow memory bus
- Older graphics memory type
- Bracket options not listed
Performance notes
A narrow memory bus and an older memory type limit throughput, so the card does best at desktop work, video playback and light games. Output resolution reaches the listed maximum over its connectors. Heat is handled by one small fan, which is typical of low profile boards.
