The GeForce GT 710 was a graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on March 27th, 2014. Built on the 28 nm process, and based on the GK208 graphics processor, the card supports DirectX 12. Even though it supports DirectX 12, the feature level is only 11_0, which can be problematic with newer DirectX 12 titles. The GK208 graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 87 mm² and 1,020 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked GeForce GT 630 Rev. 2, which uses the same GPU but has all 384 shaders enabled, NVIDIA has disabled some shading units on the GeForce GT 710 to reach the product's target shader count. It features 192 shading units, 16 texture mapping units, and 8 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 2,048 MB DDR3 memory with the GeForce GT 710, which are connected using a 64-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 954 MHz, memory is running at 900 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 19 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x HDMI 1.4a, 1x VGA. GeForce GT 710 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 2.0 x8 interface. The card measures 145 mm in length, and features a single-slot cooling solution.
