Compact, Quiet, and Perfect for Everyday Use I picked up the Gigabyte GeForce GT 1030 Low Profile graphics card to give new life to an older desktop that struggled with even basic photo editing and light gaming. Installation was a breeze—the low-profile design made it fit easily into a small form factor case, and it doesn’t need any extra power connectors. Within minutes, the system recognized it, and drivers were easy to set up. Performance-wise, it’s exactly what I hoped for. This isn’t a card for heavy AAA gaming, but for everyday tasks, 4K video playback, and some lighter games, it handles beautifully. I’ve been able to run titles like Minecraft, League of Legends, and older games at medium to high settings with smooth frame rates. The cooling fan is whisper-quiet, and even under load, the card stays cool without adding noticeable noise. What I really appreciate is the value here. For a budget-friendly card, it delivers solid performance and stability. It also comes with HDMI and DVI outputs, so connecting to a variety of monitors is straightforward. The only thing to keep in mind is that this card has its limits—it’s not meant for high-end gaming or GPU-intensive creative work. If your expectations are aligned with its purpose (basic gaming, home theater, office work, light creative use), it will absolutely impress. Bottom line: A reliable, quiet, and energy-efficient graphics card that’s perfect for breathing new life into an older PC or building a compact, budget-friendly system.

There were some games I wanted to play on Steam, but with the standard "HD graphics 4600" on my computer, the motion was balky and choppy. My computer was a small form factor HP, so I was limited by 2 main constraints. The standard 240 watt power supply was an odd size, preventing me from upgrading it, and the case was small so I need a low profile graphics card. The Geforce GT 1030 proved to be the perfect solution. Its power draw was very low; it drew power only from the motherboard, meaning that no additional plug was needed to power it; and it was small enough to fit inside the case. I should note that I run an SSD (solid state hard drive) instead of the standard HDD, and this reduces the power use of the computer considerably. This power reduction offset at least some of the extra power drawn by the graphics card. I don't think that I would attempt this upgrade with a 240 Watt power supply and the standard HDD. Installation was a breeze. Attaching the smaller bracket on the card and physically installing it in my computer took less than 10 minutes. I had difficulty getting the driver to download from the Gigabyte website, but the included CD worked fine. The included instructions are generic and of little help, but fortunately the process is fairly intuitive. You should be aware that this video card does not have a VGA port. You will need either an HDMI or DVI cable to connect your monitor. This is clearly stated on the Amazon page, but somehow I failed to notice it. After installation was completed, the performance increase was impressive. To be sure, the graphics aren't perfect. Occasionally there is still the slightest amount of hesitation in some of the graphics. However, the games are now perfectly playable with minimal distractions. The cooling fan is audible but not at all distracting. With a larger case and power supply, I probably would have paid the extra $80 or so to get a more powerful GTX 1650 with 4 GB instead of 2 GB. However, given the physical limitations of my system, I think that the GT 1030 gave me as much improvement as I can squeeze out of my tiny computer.

I got this card to install in an older motherboard that I'm turning into a Linux server. (I should have been able to use the onboard graphics for that, but for some reason wouldn't boot without a video card. No amount of resetting the BIOS and such would convince it otherwise. This was my solution.) I've had much better luck with Nvidia cards under Linux than AMD cards. The drivers are nearly up-to-date with the Windows ones. Works great for a simple Linux server with its standard graphical interface. Very low power (no secondary power from the PSU needed as it's only about 30W). Someone asked a question about the height of the card if the included low-profile bracket is used. I didn't use it, but I've uploaded a picture of it next to a ruler. I've also taken a picture of the card inserted into my machine. It uses all of the height of the low-profile bracket as can be seen by comparing where the HDMI connector is on the low-profile bracket to where it is on the back of the actual card. Looks like it takes every millimeter to me.

I purchased this to upgrade my older rig- while my "main" PC is in my office, my "old" PC is in my living room- so it does get quite a lot of use. I tend to play fairly easy-to-run games on the PC in question, but even still, the MSI R7 250 2GB DDR3 inside was struggling. Fable Anniversary could barely pull down 30FPS on medium settings. Wolfenstein The New Order/The Old Blood would be at 25-30FPS on low/medium settings. Even Crusader Kings II, Hearts of Iron III/IV, and Stellaris ran at sub-60FPS on low/medium settings. I purchased the GT 1030 to remedy these faults, and boy, was I not disappointed. 60+ FPS on Fable Anniversary on max settings. Steady 55-60FPS on Wolfenstein on max (okay, very close to max) settings. Paradox games went from a 20-25FPS to well over 70. I was quite shocked by the latter. To wrap up my review of its performance- let's talk over clocking. Once (basic) drivers are installed via the included CD, a built in clock control program is also installed. It is easier to use than Afterburner, having safe presets- but does not allow for as much control until specifically placed in "professional" mode. Otherwise, the clock speeds are just fine for a 69 dollar card. On top of that, the VRAM is DDR5- a massive upgrade for those still running DDR3 VRAM. As to the more physical nature of the card- wow, is it tiny. Less than half the size of my replaced R7 250, probably a quarter of the size of the 1070 in my main computer. Far lighter as well. Installation was simple, as it only draws power directly from the PCI slot/motherboard. Speaking of power- this thing barely draws any. Can't recall exactly, but I know that it's a minuscule amount. As long as you have a 300-350W power supply, you'll be fine. Be warned- given the size, this card only produces ONE DVI port and ONE HDMI port. That's it. Just something to think about. I was a bit surprised they didn't put a VGA slot on a card NVIDIA is touting as the answer to every budget gamer's needs- but I digress. I suppose even HDMI-sporting monitors/TVs are cheap nowadays. Card is whisper silent, although the first time I installed it, it spun hard and fast for a few minutes, and made considerable noise- don't freak out if that happens. She has great thermals, but I do have an overkill cooling setup in this PC, so results there are probably skewed for the average person who isn't obsessed with cooling. Anyways, a $69, low-profile, Pascal-based, NVIDIA GPU? It's not too good to be true. Give it a shot if you're on a budget, have power or size restrictions,or even if you're just an NVIDIA or GPU enthusiast. It won't replace your 1070, but it will definitely surprise you- especially given its small form factor and low power draw. Just a quick side note before I stop rambling- don't ask me how but- I'm pretty positive NVIDIA will be releasing a GT 1040 soon, perhaps by the end of the year. For those that aren't in a rush- perhaps wait for that?

I have an older small form-factor PC (the exact model is Gateway SX2865-UR26). This computer is used 99% for basic office tasks, watching YouTube, and minimal gaming. The PC has on-board video which was fine for normal office tasks, but it maxed out at HD resolution (approximately 1920x1080). I eventually upgraded to a 4K monitor, but my computer's built-in video couldn't handle that resolution, so I needed to find a very small video card that was powerful enough to support a 4K monitor. I tried an older card that I'd used with a 2.7K monitor, but it was terrible -- that card was constantly crashing and causing all sorts of problems....it literally wouldn't allow me to watch full-screen videos. After looking around on Amazon, I found this Gigabyte card and decided to give it a try. So far, it's been basically perfect. First, it fit into my PC's very small case (the case is very narrow so a "normal" height video card won't fit). Second, after a simple install and setup, the card has been running perfectly -- zero crashes or other problems. Although my PC is not really used for gaming, I've tried running some really old favorites (Counter-Strike, etc.) and everything seems to run great. That isn't surprising given how old the games I'm playing are, but still -- so far this card has been fast and smooth with everything I've thrown at it. Pretty impressive given the low price. One other comment -- this card does have a fan, but it appears to be completely silent. My PC is very quiet anyway, but I can't hear the video card's fan running at all. P.S. One additional thing -- getting 4K/60Hz resolution on my monitor did not require any special cables....I just used an old HDMI cable I had sitting around and this worked fine. This is yet another bonus point since some monitors require different/special cables to achieve the highest resolution & refresh rates, but that fortunately wasn't the case here.

Spent hours looking for a card that would work in my Dell 7020 sff. Problem was the Dell sff has limited space (width) for a serious graphics card. This card fit perfectly with room to spare. Took some time to download the included programs (on the cd they provide). Installation of the card takes about five minutes, and I had a picture on my monitor from the first moment I turned it on. Frames per second were dramatically increased from the R5-240 graphics card that was installed by Dell. Huge increase in video quality and power. Fan is whisper quiet on this Geforce card. The exact card I purchased is: GT 1030 GV-N1030D5-2GL Low Profile 2G. Make sure you get the DDR5! Additional thoughts - I initially wanted the 1050ti at 75 watts. Contacted Dell and they said a single slot low profile would work and my power supply should handle it as long as I didnt go above 75 watts. I found one card that fit the bill and it was over $200. Issue is the 1050ti requires more cooling and therefore a wider footprint for the fan(s). Also, the low profile means the card needs to come with the low profile adapter. The 1030 adapter on the card I purchased was perfect. After installing the 1030 and seeing the additional space that was left over, im guessing that a low profile 1050ti that takes up a slot and a half or less would work in my Dell 7020 sff. Just guessing but worth a try as Dell rep said the 7020 should handle the power requirements of 75 watts. Bottom line - I purchased one of the more expensive 1030 cards, and could not be more pleased. First, it fit perfectly and graphics ability amazed me compared to my old card. FPS went thru the roof. Even though is is not a true gaming card. If you are a serious gamer or don't mind spending the extra cash and have limited space you might consider a low profile 1050 ti. Call the manufacturers and get a thin one... slot and a half width should??? work. Worst case is you will have to drop down to the 1030 and save about $80. Final thoughts - I love this card. It dramatically increased my fps, its quiet, and it FIT!!! And didn't break the bank.

The GeForce GT 1030 2GB DDR5 64-bit has to be one of the best values for a graphics card <$100 available. I did plenty of research looking for something that would work for my particular rig: I picked up an old(er) HP Elite 8200 SFF with Intel i5-2400 3.1 Ghz processor, and 8 GB RAM for pretty cheap from the IT department at work, and it had a GT 310 installed which was barely able to run SWTOR on low settings (30-40 fps). I was worried about finding something that would fit the SFF tower and would run on the stock ~240W power supply (didn't have the budget to upgrade both). Even though this card recommends min. 300W power supply, I researched the specs and it draws the same amount of power as the GT 310, so I felt safe giving it a shot. Plus, I don't have much else running off the PSU so my total power needs are relatively low. Installation of the hardware was easier than expected (yes, it includes the low-profile bracket which was necessary for the SFF tower), and the software installation was as simple as booting up the computer after installing the graphics card and running the CD. It took about 20 minutes to install all the programs and drivers and was ready to go. I am now playing SWTOR on Ultra settings at 1600x1200 resolution with a framerate of 80-90 fps. I was able to temporarily plug into a different monitor and play on a slightly modified Very High settings (reduced AA, but not off) getting 60-70 fps at 1920x1080. I don't have a need to play the most recent games, just some sorta-oldies-but-definitely-goodies (I will be trying out Skyrim soon, and I have no doubts it will run fine on High settings). I have to say that this card is really great for the price and an outstanding choice for an entry-level graphics card for gamers on a budget.

Impressed | With some Caveats First off, I'm not a computer expert by all means but I've built a number of computers over the years (10+) since my childhood and am now in engineering school for computer science. So I am for sure the "techie" guy in the family. Take my opinion for what it's worth to you. Card was purchased because hot Summer days + Netflix in HD was making the custom media PC I built for my dad pause the video every 30 seconds (very annoying). I knew the load was getting too much when I saw that so started the search for a GT card. Overall 4.5 out 5 stars for me rounding to 5. PROS: 1) Slim in stature. You'd be surprised how hard it is to find such a card with the bellow features included for a slim cased machine. 2) Has a fan. Big thing for me. 3) Cooler is large. 4) Can handle HD video and higher and games on low to medium as others have stated. 5) Has a warranty. CONS: 1) As you can see in the photos. The chip was just caked and encased in thermal paste.The encasement specifically. Increases the temperatures by about 3 to 5 Celsius. Not much, but over the usage of the card it can noticeably reduce its lifespan. I don't see why this is done and I'm not taking stars off for it but a half because I see all manufactures doing it. That said, I've seen this take a few years off a graphic card. So my complaints are that I do this on all my cards and wish a manufacture would heed my words. Overall, a nit pick. Summary: Solid card from a great company.
