That's why. Not really gaming, just a basic card for a specific niche.
Industrial PCs too, fanless stuff is great when you don't want dust continuously pumped through the case, like in a woodshop (sawdust) or a mechanic (oily dirt and dust).
Although personally, in those cases, I think you'd see comparable performance just by using modern onboard CPU graphics. I would rather save the space and money and skip a discrete card entirely.
I use those on server hardware that don't have onboard graphics from which I need more than simple CLI. Also useful if you have an HDMI KVM and only VGA output.
They work great for office PCs when we need to add extra outputs. Maybe not this specific version that heatsink looks a bit tall to fit in most half height cases.
My company has used these cards for years. They are great for our needs and the fan less design is desired for the end product (moving parts always break). Its always a concern when computer components are discontinued.
Personally, I am not a huge fan of ASUS these days, I do wish we had some other options.
Fuck Asus. All my homies hate Asus
Lmao, the gt710 is the oldest part in my spare parts bin. Too shitty to even give it away. But I can't bring myself to throw it away since it has a pcie x1 slot so it fits into just about anything
