    Budget card that won't leave you feeling penniless

    This isn't a serious gaming card by any means. However if sticker shock has you scratching your head and wondering what you can do in the sub $100 range then this really isn't a bad card. I needed a card because I didn't want to use the onboard video with the I5 cpu. This card still out scores Intel HD graphics and I wanted a rig that could double over as a media center while keeping my daughter at bay for a few more years until she finds a real game that will choke this card. For now it just had to handle light game play, 4K streaming.

    Good fix for old broken video card

    I bought this to replace a 1 GB AMD graphics card that died on my old computer. I had bought a new computer but wanted to keep my old computer if I could get it working again. I got it working and with the video card on sale and with my reward dollars; it did not cost much at all. A good choice to replace an old video card.

    Great Affordable Graphics Card

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is a great graphics card for low budget pc builders. I can run 220 fps max on games like CSGO and Valorant but I like to cap it off at 165 fps. I didn't mind that there was only two gigs of video memory because I don't run high quality graphics on most games anyways. If your using this to record with GeForce unfortunately you cant do in game overlay recording and this graphics card does not support nvenc so I would recommend installing a recording software and have the encoder set up for your gpu instead which works just fine. I use a 144hz monitor with this graphics card to achieve these frames. Its also pretty quiet and despite it being released a couple years ago this graphic card really holds well at an affordable price.

    I had a system with a small power supply in it. These card was one of the ones that I found that required a very low power draw. It has played my iracing game very well.

    I had bought this gt 1030 years ago. It was originally for a Dell optiplex 755 but I eventually upgraded to building my own. But it was a few weeks ago. No this is the only gpu I can buy at a reasonable price. My current built is based on a i3 10100f and 8gb of ram. I can play most games really well (note: most meaning older and at 720p.) I cannot play games like Call of Duty Warzone, as warzone hits a gpu bottleneck. One of the games that I can play really well is titanfall 2 (1080p highest) If you can find a good deal and you want something that is a step up over integrated graphics. Pick this up, you might not be disappointed. (You may need to adjust your expectations.)

    Might be the only GPU you can buy

    Small GPU, doesn't need an external power cable, connects with PCIe power only. Doesn't really get hot, also doesn't have a great deal of GPU power. You could probably game on it if you cranked everything down to low.

    Great for HTPC and light gaming

    This card gets the job done in an old Dell I refurbished for HTPC use. If you need a low-profile card with good performance for around $100 this is one to consider. Older games will play fine at 1080p, just add an Xbox controller and you've built yourself a nice little console. There are better performing cards for $30-$50 more but I needed a low-profile card, this one works for me, just don't expect to play the latest games with all the graphical bells and whistles turned on and you won't be disappointed. There is a cheaper version of this card that uses DDR4 RAM, skip that one spend a little more for the DDR5 version.

    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.

    I needed to upgrade an old computer that had an earlier PNY NVIDIA GeForce graphics card model and this was a perfect choice. The price and performance makes it a good value. And the PNY quality is equal to the higher priced brands.

    It was slim and fit perfectly with plenty of space. So far performance has exceeded my expectations for online gaming and general use. I thought by going slim I'd lose out but so far so good. It's not the most powerful but I can fit it easily, no troubles.

    Purchased this for my little brother since the computer he bought didn't come with a graphics card and he wanted to play games. Due to the shortage I had to buy something that wouldn't cost too much but would still give him a decent experience on his PC and this did that just fine! I definitely wouldn't recommend this for current-gen single player games or even multiplayer games- but for games like Apex, Fortnite, Overwatch, and Valorant that aren't THAT demanding- it's definitely worth the price, at least while the shortage is going on and prices are through the roof.

    I picked this up to replace a failed card in an older PC. It was very easy to install and is an improvement over the old card -- even when the old card was working. I wouldn't get this if you are looking to play the latest and greatest games, but it works great for less graphic intensive games and every day use.

    For a 2gb card it did well, after using MSI afterburner and overclocking a bit it ran most games at med to high quality at around 1080p@~30fps

    This graphics card is a good overall unit. Not real pricey as some of the more upper end cards, but a reasonably good one for normal things. It will handle some games, but it won't work for more of the new high end games out there.
