What does "dedicada" mean in this context? Integrated GPU? It either means the card itself is "dedicated," e.g. "discrete;" or it's referring to the card's dedicated video RAM.

The GT* 700 series is the 2013 series of chips; I'm running a GTX 660 on my media center/server without any problems, and I can only presume the 710 will work. My roommate has a 750 in her desktop that runs fine on the Linux driver, if that says anything. -- :: Brandon J.
