PNY - NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card - Black

I bought this PNY GT1030 card for a Dell Optiplex 790 Slim PC to use as a gaming machine. Yes there are better graphics cards out there, but for this particular computer with a stock Dell slim 240 Watt power supply in it, this is a great choice. It runs cool and stable without needing a power supply upgrade or any additional power connection to the power supply. Perfomance change on the game Subnautica as example. It was running at 5FPS with a Radeon HD3000 series card all settings on low and resolution at 720P. It now runs Subnautica at 30FPS with all settings on high and resolution set at 1080P. Bottom line if you need a low profile gaming card and want to use your stock power supply, it's a great option for the price for sure.

I wanted to return this product, but I've been so busy I exceeded the 13 day return policy so I'm stuck with it. Upgrades are usually meant to improve performance. There was NO improvement upgrading to GT 1030, making it a waste of money. Product functions at slower performance and poorer quality. Something I did not expect from Nvidia. And, I was disappointed when my Xbox DVR did not allow me to record with GT 1030 card because my PC hardware "is not supported", whereas with my GT 730 it allowed me to record and worked great. Overall with the GT 1030, my PC had trouble running at performance levels set by the previous card. After talking with an awesome Xbox Customer Rep., I decided to reverse back to GT 730, and it runs better. This is the first time I can remember a product upgrade resulted in wasted time, energy, and money.

Needed a low profile dedicated graphics card for home theatre PC that could scroll 4K content and allow a little on the fly 1080p video editing. Paired with Ryzen 3 1200 overclocked to 3.6GHz. Great little card with no need for extra 8pin power. Fit nicely in low profile Silverstone case on Asrock micro at board, leaving room for tuner card. Thermals are fine in synthetic tests. Can play older games at 720p. Cons: limited overclocking. Exposed fan (care when wiring). No fan control. A little pricey above $70.

This thing gets the job done with my PC. I originally went into the store wanting to spend about double if it would work with my PC, but not being a complete PC guru did not know whether it would work or not. The Best Buy associate that helped me was fantastic. He looked up my specific PC to see its capabilities and pointed me to this point unit for half the cost and something that would fit my needs and power supply. Great shopping experience and product.

I think this is the most powerful single slot video card I could find. It falls nothing short of awesome. Great memory buffer Accelerated websites and CUDA apps Quiet as heck I would highly recommend the card. Only knock Was price for all the above features. It would have been a 5 if it were about 15-20% less expensive putting it closer to the intended graphics card class.

Easy to install, butt took awhile for the drivers to install from NVIDIA. I have not had a problem except for a corrupt driver update from NVIDIA. Had to revert to previous. Price was right for a low end mid-range card.

NVIDIA makes an excellent line of high performance graphic cards. Easy to install, good support makes this card an excellent first step for users who want greater performance. Perfect for many Adobe products.

I was surprised how quiet this card is. Much better than what it replaced. No issues so far. Only driving a 21:9 monitor. I came in for something different, but saw this on the shelf. A little price match, and it worked out perfectly.
