The GeForce GT 220 graphics card from XFX is much smaller than most NVIDIA graphics cards, but that is to be expected for being a low-end product. The GeForce G 210 graphics card meanwhile is a low-profile, half-height PCI-E graphics card. The black heatsink fan on the XFX GT220XZNF2 covers the GT216 core and the 1GB DDR2 memory. The fan is quite small and just uses a 2-pin connector, but it was very quiet during our tests.

There are no connectors on this graphics card for Scalable Link Interface nor is any 6-pin PCI-E power connector needed for operation with this graphics card just pulling 58 Watts at its peak. The ports on the XFX GeForce GT 220 include one HDMI, one VGA, and one dual-link DVI. These three connectors are standard to most NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 graphics cards.
