Description

ASUS nVidia GeForce GT730-SL-2GD5-BRK 2GB GDDR5 Low Profile Graphics Card with Bracket For Silent HTPC Build (With I/O Port Brackets)

The ASUS GT730‑SL‑2GD5‑BRK is a budget‑focused, low‑profile graphics card built around the NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 GPU. Designed for compact PCs, silent HTPC builds, office desktops, or multimedia rigs, it combines modest 3D acceleration, dedicated video memory, and silent passive cooling to deliver reliable video output, basic gaming, multimedia playback, and multi‑display support. With 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, support for up to three displays, and multiple output ports including HDMI, DVI‑D, and VGA, it’s especially suited for home‑theater PCs (HTPC), media centers, or productivity machines where noise, size, and cost are more important than high-end gaming performance. The card uses a fanless cooling solution, ensuring 0 dB noise during operation — perfect for quiet environments.

Key Features

  • Silent, Fanless Operation for Noise‑Sensitive Builds

This GT 730 variant uses a passive‑cooling heatsink design, producing true 0 dB noise. That makes it ideal for silent HTPC builds, living‑room media centers, or quiet workstations where sound‑less operation is a priority.

  • Low‑Profile & Compact Form Factor — Fits Small / Slim Cases

The card is low‑profile and compact (approx. 16.5 cm long), and ships with I/O port brackets for flexibility. This makes it suitable for small form‑factor (SFF) PCs, slim desktops, or compact HTPC chassis where larger cards would not fit.

  • Dedicated GDDR5 Memory for Smooth Multimedia & Basic Graphics Tasks

With 2 GB GDDR5 memory on a 64‑bit bus and an effective memory clock of 5.01 GHz, the card offers better performance and responsiveness than integrated graphics for tasks like video playback, photo editing, and light 3D workloads.

  • Multi‑Display & Legacy + Modern Output Support

Equipped with HDMI, DVI‑D (dual‑link), and VGA (D‑Sub) outputs, this card supports up to three displays simultaneously — giving you flexibility to mix modern and older monitors/TVs. Useful for multi‑monitor productivity, video walls, or connecting to TVs for media playback.

  • Easy Software Tuning and Reliability via Premium Manufacturing

Built using ASUS’s AUTO‑EXTREME Technology, the card is manufactured with an automated, single‑pass soldering process for better reliability and component stress reduction. 
It also comes with GPU Tweak II — a software utility for real‑time monitoring, tuning (clock / memory / voltage), and streaming, giving flexibility for moderate overclocking or system adjustment as needed.
