Its cheap and its passive.

And so is this cheaper-yet-newer GT 710.

But the 5450 is DX11 capable while the 210 is not even capable of DX10.1.

And the much newer GT 710 can be had for cheaper.

GT 710 is cheaper man

But the GT 710 is much newer yet also cheaper.

I mean, the GT 210 isn't even DX10.1 capable.

And the much newer GT 710 is only $33.

I mean, the GT 210 isn't even DX10.1 capable...

although I can see why the GT 210 is picked.

May I ask what reason that would be when this GT 710 exists?

So why not a passive GT 710 for cheaper? - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AZHOWL0/

my guess is there are a lot of people building low end systems that just need a video out

But wouldn't this cheaper-yet-newer GT 710 make way more sense?

I mean, the GT 210 isn't even DX10.1 capable.

There are tons of legitimate uses of a GT 210 where integrated graphics aren't an option

May I ask what those uses would be when this GT 710 exists?
