If you're into budget Esport gaming, this card work wonderfully. Watch out, there are GT 1030 model that comes with DDR4 video memory and you'll most likely get lower performance than expected. I suggest AMD RX 550 instead.

GT 1030 is slightly overpriced compared to a used gtx 750ti but performs really well in a lower wattage and is on par with the gtx 650 and sometimes gets on par with the GTX 750 non ti and is a step higher than its predecessor the gt 730 it is an okay card for its price and a very good card for htpc and low wattage budget build

There's not many cards like this in the market; for $60-90, you're getting a card that sucks only 30 watts, is easily overclockable, comes in low profile or passive cooled, requires no power connecters, and enough juice that it will run most games (esports? Not a problem) if you're not nitpicky. People buy this for compatibility & availability, not power; can't ask for more at this price point. Doesn't deserve the criticism.

I haven't got the card just yet but will put it to the test thats for sure. im buying it for a friend for 50 dollars is a great buy for it I mean you can actually game on a 50 dollar gpu and get decent frames... this card was meant for picture and video only light work loads video playback on cpus thats don't offer internal graphics.. so for this card to be able to pump out 80+ frames on some games then it gets two thumbs up from me..

its awesome and i can play fortnite at near high settings! and i can overclock it easily and make it so i can run fortnite at high settings! so its great for $110 and its normally $70 (but thanks to miners its $110) so it has great overclocking potential and is a great gpu!

Following the launch of his elder sisters, the last member of the Pascal architecture was released in mid '17 to fight back the AMD's RX550. With 384 cuda cores, 2GB of GDDR5, a bus width of 64 bits and a tiny 30W of power consumption, the GT1030 was the first "GT" card to be sold as a "gamer" card. It will surely struggle with AAA games in 1080p at high or ultra presets, but for MOBA titles, indie games, emulation and casual gaming it could excell on these tasks as it is still a little bit overkill for just media playing. The strenghs of this card are clearly its lower price tag (though the end of the mining craze has made the price to reach the 100$ frontier in some places, due to the shortage and the overprice of the rest of the cards, making this one most of the times the only way for the non-miner customers) and the really low power consumption. This make this card a good option for renewing old or second hand corporate PCs with low wattage power supplies and maybe for pairing with a Pentium Gold/i3-8100 while you wait for the rest of the grahic card market to lower the price without suffering with the Intel HD Graphics.

Now, this card is EXTREMELY low power (30W), requires no PCLE Plugins, its great. Now we get to the (obvious) issue, Speed. The card is good for basic internet things and some moderate gaming. I'm going to upgrade my pc and it will have an RTX 2070, I won't forget my 1030 Days.
