EVGA GeForce GT 730 1GB DDR3
The 96 CUDA cores and 1GB of DDR3 memory on a 128-bit bus provide a tangible upgrade from integrated graphics for basic display tasks and HD video playback. Its low-profile, single-slot design at 145mm makes it a practical fit for slim or older OEM systems with a 300W power supply. This card is best for users needing to add modern monitor outputs to an aging office PC or home theater setup, not for modern gaming.
