Gaming GeForce GT 1030 4GB DDR4 64-bit HDCP Support DirectX 12 DP/HDMI Single Fan OC Graphics Card (GT 1030 4GD4 LP OC)

My faithful gen 8 i5 desktop computer began struggling with graphics (game and other video) on a 2560x1440 resolution monitor. Task Manager showed that the onboard Intel gpu and main processor were both working hard to keep up. After wincing at the cost to replace it, I started looking for a good way to help it stop choking. This GeForce card showed up while browsing and comparing features and it looked good. It has 4GB of DDR4 RAM, which is the same speed as the memory my computer already runs. Plus, it also has a Display port output, which I already use. That made good sense to me and the price was right, so I thought I'd give it a try. Installation was easy. Just remove a screen for the PCI Express slot, insert the card and connect the monitor cable. When Windows started up, it found the new video card and automatically installed the drivers. I rebooted one more time and everything seemed to be working well. To test, I started up a G5 game that had choked the system before. Now the game runs smooth as silk and task manager shows that the NVIDIA GeForce gpu and the i5 processor were both just idling along. Separating the video from the main board really took a load off the system. It runs like a new machine now and text especially is sharper, or more crisp and well defined. My eyes are very happy with the improved clarity. I am super happy with the end result. This upgrade was a test and spending $120 on it saved me at least $800 over the new machine I had been looking at. It may not run quite as fast as that new machine would have, but everything it runs is very smooth and fast enough for me. Thinking back, I should have bought it sooner.

Good video card at a reasonable price. I bought it for my new LINUX system, and it displays on a large screen TV. Sound and picture are great.

Great video card for entry level gaming. Love the stability too. I purchased 2 of them for my Dell computers as a slight upgrade.

Easy install and works good!

popped this in my 10 year old AMD PC. linuxmint loved it.

This basic video card was easy to install, compatible (it was installed in a Linux based, very old PC as an upgrade) card that fit easily on the motherboard. It's really good value for money, has a decent fan and good build. As an upgrade to an older machine or if you're building a budget friendly PC, I would highly recommend it.

This is probably a good video card for the right system. I had to return this one because it lacked the ability to process games adequately. I installed this into a basic low-performance Dell machine. I decided to start playing some games on Steam and I needed a little bit more than what the on-board graphics offered. Installation was quick and easy. However, the FPS on most games was well below 60 for that smooth gaming experience. I wasn't expecting 144FPS, only enough to not have the game lag and drop frames even on undemanding games. If you have a system like mine where the graphics are powered by the board instead of the power supply, you are limited on performance choices. Being limited to 75 watts I chose a 3050 which fit the bill, but I have to watch my power consumption which so far hasn't been an issue. Most games run smoothly with a little lag here and there I can live with.

The reviews on this card are very good. My experience was the same. This card works quite well at graphic intense applications. This card installed itself quicker than I started using the computer. It's not a killer graphics card, but it does quite well performance wise. I am happy with it. My computer has a small power supply and this card does not use much power, which I needed. I recommend it !

Needed a card for PhysX 32-bit support and this slotting in nicely!

It's worth the price but I would like to know what the best model is I don't want super great GPU but I wouldn't mind one a little better and the driver for it isn't anywhere near as good as some others out there

El paquete llego en excelentea condiciones , la instalación fue rápida y fácil , no la más potente pero cumple su función , ni hermano está feliz con su nueva tarjeta gráfica , muy recomendable si tiene una torre de bajo perfil
