Abd don't worry about Physx, it will work. 347.26 - Branch [r346_00-270] https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/geforce-icafe-347-26-whql-driver.396457/

I believe 344.75 might be most stable driver for both. I dont know why GT 710 is heating that much. it is weaker card comparing GT 730. while GT 730 getting hardly over 70C by heavy use (gaming), GT 710 jumps over 90C. I already replaced thermal paste. Maybe it is using more resource to be able handle graphics - struggling and heating the chip more than GT 730. Edited March 30, 20242 yr by MinimumAttic410
March 31, 20242 yr What's the use of PhysX in games that this card can handle? That would be additional load on it. I do not know a single game that relies on PhysX, and don't have this bloat in Program Files.

Besides, you could simply get a a bad ASIC quality card. over 90C is the max limit, I think at 95 it should throttle down and reboot to try to save itself.

H264 plays fine with DXVA2 up to 1080p. For H264 2160p or H265 8 bit you need to add CUDA to the mix*. *If your CPU is weak. Edited March 31, 20242 yr by Dixel
March 31, 20242 yr DXVA is Microsoft's way of accessing it. And DXVA2 exists to promote Windows Vista. MPC-HC gives a choice between DXVA and CUVID. I always choose the latter to not depend on Microsoft.

I always choose the latter to not depend on Microsoft. It doesn't matter whether you use DXVA (XP) or DXVA2 (Vista), those two are specifically designated as "hardware video decode", Please see the screenshot.
March 31, 20242 yr Sorry, got no XP at hand right now. From what is known, MPC-HC relies on Nvidia driver capabilities.
March 31, 20242 yr 3 hours ago, Dixel said: CUVID. I always choose the latter to not depend on Microsoft. And don't forget, CUDA wears out cards more quickly, as it keeps them at their highest clock rates. The owner of GT710 had complained about high temps.
March 31, 20242 yr On 750 the temp rises in proportion to the utilization, even if the clock stays high. Seeking speed is very fast because it has the extra speed available when needed.

Seeking speed is very fast because it has the extra speed available when needed. GTX 750 is a rare, odd beast. It belongs to a different (newer) gen., despite being among the old Kepler 700 series, it explains the lower temps and better seeking perfectly fine. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-750.c1986 Edited March 31, 20242 yr by Dixel link

Yea but it is still poor card and low-profile, i would expect 710 runs cooler. reaching over 90C doesnt make sense at all. and NFS most wanted is not demanding game. it doesnt even support HD resolutions.

Available in English, too, runs on GT710 fine, uses Physx.
April 2, 20242 yr 347.88 last stable driver for GT610 (also kepler, just like GT 710) https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/game-ready-drivers/13/214437/34788-last-stable-driver-for-gt610/
