Anandtech takes a quick look at the MSI’s GeForce 210. This video card costs $30, is low-profile, and is passively cooled. You can easily take that to mean that it is not for those who are looking for the latest and fastest card. Still it would work well in some cases. Personally I use such cards in machines that I want to be as quiet as possible. Another case where this may be of some use is in a Home Theater PC. On that note, the video card does have some problems with deinterlacing video signals. From the article:
Once we throw deinterlacing out of the equation however the G210 has no problem playing back progressively encoded MPEG-2 and H.264 material. It looks to only be serious limited when deinterlacing, which means the G210 is only at a serious disadvantage with interlaced material such as live television.
