Hello,
Yes, you can install a Nvidia GT 710 with 1 or 2Gb DDR3. You'll need a Low Profil graphic board with an active cooling (fan): E.g. MSI GT710

because it has the fan?0 -
Hello,
Yes exactly. This graphic board is shipped with low profil brackets (2 metal parts).

i got my gt 710! but how do you take out the brackets on this model? they dont use screws.0

Hello,
Graphic board from full to low profile:
- Unscrew the nuts (spacers) of the VGA and DVI connectors
- Remove the full bracket
- Mount both low brackets and screw the nuts. That's all.

oops! i meant the brackets of the actual computer! sorry for the miscommunication.0

Hello,
No problems.
These brackets are difficult to remove. You can try to break the 4 metal points by "inserting" a screw driver in the crosses +. Another solution, it's to cut these metal points with a dremel but you'll have to protect the components. Most of small form factor desktops are like this... no screws.0 -
sadly, ive encountered another problem, i installed the card, but the computer displays no image, and i cant find an option in the bios to allow me to use the pci slot. help?0

Hello,
Did you uninstall the Intel GMA X4500 driver (old VGA driver) before installing the graphic board?
