Allowed XUbuntu to run on MSI motherboard

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 6, 2022

I installed XUbuntu Linux on a PC with an MSI H67MA-E45 (B3) motherboard.

The system was unstable, with Xwindows returning to its logon screen when too many windows were open, specifically when there were too many Firefox tabs open or playing Youtube videos.

No matter the BIOS setting, the machine was running out of shared video memory, something that might have been managed by a software driver if the machine was running MS Windows.

Based on an Internet search, I found this GT 730 card well reviewed and a reasonably priced solution for an older machine not having a video power connector.

The install was easy, and the machine is now stable. It will never be fast enough for gaming, but works well enough for email and Internet access.

Blank white screen until OS loads

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 20, 2021

I attempted to use this card with an Alienware R12 and 64-bit Windows 10. Once Windows is loaded, the card works ok; however, prior to Windows being loaded, the screen is completely white.

Due to this white screen, it is not possible to go into the CMOS system settings and make any changes whatsoever, or to boot to any media besides the default operating system. In other words, to make CMOS changes, I have to swap in a different video card and boot with it instead.

For the record, the R12 works perfectly fine with 3 other video cards I've tried in there; it's just this specific Gigabyte card that seems to be somewhat useless.

Edit (6 months later): I've now tried this in another R12, one that's running Windows 11, and under 11 it causes a BSOD (yes, using the latest nVidia drivers too).

Not good enough, for serious gaming graphics

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 30, 2022

Verified Purchase

I thought I could get away an expensive graphics card, but after using this card, I realize there is not enough resources to support serious graphics and gaming. Fortunately it's returnable that's what I did. I purchased a higher end graphics card which I'm satisfied with. Don't get me wrong this graphics card is excellent to run your monitor for browsing, look at pictures, and watching videos but if that's all you gonna do this one's for you.

Decent for a basic video card

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 20, 2022

Verified Purchase

I'm using this for in a PC repurposed for business use, so it's not going to do any gaming. For ordinary business use, it's fine. I'm using the latest NVIDIA driver that I downloaded from their website. I haven't experimented with it much yet, but so far I haven't been able to get it to do 1920x1080 (full HD) resolution. It's a step or two below that. But it works just fine, and I'm pretty happy with this, considering the low price.
It's very short, and occupies only one slot. So it will fit easily even in a small computer case. (But not a micro-sized case.) It has one low profile fan. It has signal ports for DVI, VGA, and HDMI. I don't know if it can run two monitors at once; I didn't try that.

Great little video card

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 11, 2022

Excellent video card to bring an older machine up to par in order to keep going a few more years. You won't be playing any huge games with this, but it will play the simpler games and do a great job at it.

Works pretty good for the games I need

Works for using Davinci Resolve

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 10, 2022

Verified Purchase

I had an urgent video editing and just updated Davinci Resolve, of course I didn't care about creating a project data base (I'll never do that again)

When opening the software I needed now I wouldn't able to use it because I dint have a graphics card. I wasn't able to restore old version since I needed to erase all info and My project was almost done.

I got this card and I installed it myself (never done that). It was easy

Works perfectly. But I can notice a little bit of issues while opening 2 videos on HD or 4K, my mother board didn't have issues at all. But I can use Davinci so I'm okay with that
