**Got 32 Gigs of DDR4 3200 MHz in It: A Review of the New GT710**

With my system equipped with 32 gigs of DDR4 3200 megahertz, let's see how much the new GT710 stinks up the house while gaming. For those who watched the video "Random Gaming in HD" posted earlier this week on the new GT710, these terrible gaming benchmarks shouldn't come as a surprise to you. It's not a gaming GPU as we can tell, but I was really impressed by how well Dota handles this GPU.

**Impressive Performance in Dota**

We're getting like 48 frames per second average at 1080p, which is impressive. So, if you're a Dota player, you don't really need more than a GT710; you don't need to splurge on high-end gaming hardware. However, GTA 5 didn't do as well; this result is not playable at all, even at the lowest settings and 720p.

**Poor Performance in Rainbow Six Siege and Fortnite**

Rainbow Six Siege also really struggled with having a GT-710 pushing those frames. Fortnight was also very unplayable, although I got a couple of kills while gaming with the GT710 on Fortnite. There's something weird about gaming with the GT710; it introduces a huge amount of input lag.

**Not Just Low Frame Rates: Input Lag and CPU Utilization**

It's not just the low frame rates that are an issue; it's like the GPU needs some time to process everything, so there's some noticeable input lag. Also, cpu utilization barely ever goes above 10%.

**GT710 Overclocking: Disappointing Results**

Now we get to the exciting part of the video - how does this new GT710 overclock? That's its party piece; it's really crazily good at overclocking. Just when you look at kind of percentages gained in performance, now with this new GT710 it went surprisingly poorly compared to the old one.

**Core Clock and Overclocking Results**

When it comes to the core clock, the max core frequency I could get stable was 350 megahertz. A quick note from editor David here: I meant to say plus 350 megahertz referring to the MSI Afterburner overclock; the actual core frequency was sitting closer to 1293 megahertz and the same goes for the old GT710 as well.

**GT710 Overclocking vs Old Version**

Anything above that, and it would just crash out of the game within three seconds of loading into the CS go benchmark. That's not as good as the 400 megahertz we could get out of the original GT710; this could be down to silicon lottery. Hopefully, that new GDDR5 can overclock a bit better.

**Samsung Memory Modules: Not Great Overclockers**

Unfortunately, that overclocks even worse. Those Samsung modules gave me a max extra overclock of about 150 megahertz which is not great compared to the 300 extra megahertz of the um of the previous version of the GT710. Yeah, and the thing is the memory overclock was the part that actually had the biggest positive gain in performance for the GT710.

**Conclusion: Disappointing Results**

So yeah, it meant that our performance gained in CS go from just stock to max overclock is yeah it's not much higher; we went from 21 frames per second to 25, whereas with the old version of the GT710 we got like a 64 performance increase. That's actually really disappointing.

**Wanting to Compare the New GT710 to My Newly Acquired GT730**

I think I just kind of lost the silicon lottery with this new GT710, and it seems like those Samsung memory modules are already pushed to their limit. Uh, they don't want to overclock any more than that.

**End of Video: Comparison to GT730?**

So there we go; there are the results - the new GT710 is a worse overclocker than the old one, which is which is a bit unfortunate. And that brings me to the end of the video. So if you enjoyed this video, let me know in the comment section below if you want me to compare this new GT710 to my newly acquired GT730; I'd be interested to see how those two compare.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthere's been a bit of a theme developing for me lately when it comes to buying new graphics cards on launch day i wake up early in the morning and then i go and queue outside of the shop for about an hour and a half where invariably i am the first person in the queue to not get my hands on one of the newfangled graphics cards so this time i only briefly considered knife battling one of the lucky bastards that actually got their hands on one of these cards and then i decided to myself i'm gonna buy something even better and it's the new gt-710 who saw that coming a return to the channel of a legend but this time dressed up with a couple of key upgrades made by asus now random gaming in hd did actually do a video on this exact card earlier this week but when i saw one in stock at the shop where i queued for an rtx 3070 i just couldn't not get one but with that let's let's open it up um the packaging is very plain as is always the case with gt710s uh yeah it's pretty much just the graphics card that you're getting i can already through the packaging see that this is a real beauty it's actually pretty hefty for a gt-710 i actually have an original one lying here that we'll compare it to just now but it's got a nice heatsink on it which will be good for overclocking and there's some pretty awesome looking uh power delivery caps over there so asus really put some work into this thing now the first major upgrade is the fact that it now has four hdmi ports look at that it does mean that you can't actually use it as a low profile graphics card anymore which is pretty funny if you compare it to the rear i o of the original gt710 it is a major upgrade as you can see here though the the vga port does give you that flexibility to have a low profile card but still that's pretty awesome so that's the first big upgrade and then the second one is the memory that it's using so it still uses two gigs of vram which is not a huge amount but they did upgrade it from gddr3 on this version to gddr5 so we now have two gigs of gddr5 which is kind of madness for this card really so i'm excited to see how it performs it's always exciting getting another gt710 into the shop especially one that's as beautifully voluptuous as this one asus really outdid themselves with this bad boy so what we're gonna do in today's video is we're gonna just check out the straight up gaming performance of this new gt710 to remind ourselves how this beast performs in gaming and then i'm gonna overclock it because that was the part of the original gt710 that really impressed me it really had the soul of their power in it it overclocked like a little demon so hopefully the new one overclocks a bit better it may not but we'll get into that later in the video but getting back to just the straight up gaming benchmarks the system that i tested this gpu with has an i9 10850k in it i really wanted to find a cpu that matches the performance of the gt710 and then it's got 32 gigs of ddr4 3200 megahertz in it so with that let's see how much the gt710 stinks up the house while gaming for those of you that watched the video that random gaming in hd posted earlier this week on the new gt710 these terrible gaming benchmarks shouldn't come as a surprise to you it's not a gaming gpu as we can tell but i was really impressed by how well dota handles

high-end gaming hardware gta 5 didn't do as well um yeah this this is this is not a playable result at all this is at 720p at the lowest settings and we're not even getting 20 frames per second uh moving over to rainbow six siege that also really struggled it doesn't like having a gt-710 pushing those frames fortnite was also very unplayable although look at that i got a couple of kills while gaming with the gt710 on fortnite there's something really weird about gaming with the gt710 it introduces a huge amount of input lag like it it it's it's weird but it's not just the low frame rates that are an issue it's like the gpu needs some time to process everything so there's there's some definitely noticeable input lag there i think the funniest part of the gt710 benchmarks for me is that cpu utilization it barely ever goes above 10 but now we get to the exciting part of the video how does this new gt710 overclock because that's its party piece it's really crazily good at overclocking just when you look at kind of percentages gained in performance now with this new gt710 it went surprisingly poorly compared to the old one uh when it comes to the core clock the max core frequency i

new gddr5 can overclock a bit better you know maybe we can get some more performance there unfortunately that overclocks even worse those samsung modules gave me a max extra overclock of about 150
