Not expensive here in France , does the job , it is between a GTX 750 and a GTX 750 Ti in terms of performance and it can give a new breath to old pcs ( I'm rocking a C2Q Q9550 and every esport title runs just fine on 1080p)

it wont play games like witcher 3. maybe at low settings. But for 70$, you are getting one of the most compatible cards ever (single slot, 30W tdp, no power connector, slin design, lp slot) while also getting performance similar to a gtx 650 Ti. This is the perfect card for an HTPC build. A cpu like a G4560 will go quite nicely with this thing. Only gripe is the price. wish it was around 40$

For a cheap card (Asus 1030 gt fan less 2gb gddr5 @ $159NZD) its not overly bad, I can play most up scale games like quake champions, doom 2016, pubg.. Some settings maybe on low but it handles adv of 40 frames in most cases, also plays gta5 max settings smooth as silk so for price its not bad on my rig Asus p5n-e Ali E7400 (Oc 3.56ghz) 4*2 ddr2 @800mhz

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

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.
