GeForce GT 1030 4GHD4 LP OC

There's a lot of fuss made about the memory used on this graphics card, and if you're an avid gamer, wanting the highest performance and frame-rates then this card has not been designed for you.For the rest of us this card is very good. It's silent of course, easy to fit even in an ITX size case and is right up to date with both HDMI and Display-Port connectors. Bear in mind it may have a single-slot width at the back-panel but the large heat-sink makes it two-slots wide internally.Performance is fine. Of course it plays HD video and can edit large photos, but it can also play games very well, within the limitations of being passively cooled and having restricted memory bandwidth. You may have to turn down the detail levels to maintain a high frame-rate for example.The GDDR4 memory used, and that people complain about, is more than likely similar to the RAM in your current PC. If you were using the CPU's own built-in graphics it would use this same RAM for its memory. However performance here is better than the built-in option by a fair way making it a worthy upgrade. Yes, of course, if you want even faster performance, buy the more expensive GDDR5 version. No problem.For the price you get a decent graphics card for a decent price and well-supported by the official NVidia drivers.

I have used this card in a new PC base unit that I have just built. It was picked up OK by Windows 11 and the screen output is perfectly clear. I don't really play computer games and the card is perfectly adequate for basic PC use.

it's been a great little upgrade for my setup. If you're looking for a budget-friendly graphics card for everyday tasks, media consumption, and some light gaming, this one does the job well.Installation was super easy, especially with the low profile design it fit perfectly into my compact case with no issues. The performance is solid for what it is; it handles 1080p video playback smoothly, and even some older or less demanding games run surprisingly well. It also runs cool and quiet, which is a big plus.Having both HDMI and DisplayPort is a nice touch, making it easy to connect different monitors without extra adapters. Of course, this isn't a powerhouse GPU, but for anyone who just needs a simple, reliable graphics card without spending a fortune, it’s a fantastic choice. Definitely happy with my purchase!

Looking for a low cost, low prfile, dual display card for an office PC. This ticked all the boxes

Good basic graphics card. Not up to much for high quality videos or pictures.

I bought a Gaming pc which turned out to have laptop parts inside, after taking the laptop ram and replacing graphics card to the 1030 it works great.

If your looking for a basic graphics card, that is probably 2.5 - 3 times more powerfull than your built in gpu on a intel cpu. Then this is the one you want it offers value for money and does not need a powerfull psu to function. As stated on the box this card will last upto 40 years for office work and around 10 years for gaming. As this is a silent card, office work would be it's more advantageous purpose. But if you want to play AAA titles look elsewhere.

For the price works well. Still can run a few games.
