Review: Good entry level card - Really good card for the money. It should be obvious that you're not going to be gaming with this card in 4k or playing the newest AAA titles at 60 fps with max setting, but it gets the job done for many other games. It plays games like rocket league and paladins at 60fps easily if you lower the setting a little bit, and fortnite more closely to 45 fps. My numbers may not be too accurate mostly due to the GPU being bottlenecked by my old core 2 duo e8400. With a faster processor it should push even higher. Lastly if you're looking to set up a home theater PC then this is a fantastic option. It will easily play 4k video and fits nicely in a low profile pc. Does not require addition power from the PSU, it runs comfortably and quietly straight from the pcie x16 slot. Review: Probably The Safest GPU for a 200W PSU - If you're considering this, most likely your case is similar to mine: You have a prebuilt PC with a proprietary 200W PSU which can't be easily upgraded, and any discrete GPU would be a big upgrade to the integrated graphics. Yes, this card should work, but I strongly recommend using a program like Open Hardware Monitor to confirm your system's power usage leaves enough wiggle room. In my case, the max power usage was around 120W so it could handle this card's 30W. That said, I still feel a bit nervous about cutting it close. Can you game on it? If you have modest standards, actually yes. It ran most games I tried at a stable 60 fps on 720p low settings, and even more demanding titles like Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade at a stable 30 fps (even though this card is technically beneath the minimum requirements). I'm pleasantly surprised that even Nintendo Switch emulation works on this card, depending on the game of course (Super Mario Odyssey was a mostly stable 60 fps, Fire Emblem: Three Houses was a mostly stable 30 fps, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was a mostly stable 60 fps except when it loaded new shaders). As for overclocking, +100 MHz core clock and +100 MHz memory clock with MSI Afterburner seemed to be safe and it could probably be pushed further, but I returned to default since I didn't want to take any unnecessary risks. Overall, this card's performance exceeded my expectations; however I feel it is overpriced. Looking at the price history, it fluctuates between $149.99 and $99.99 on desertcart (I got it at $99.99), and I would not recommend it when it's over $100. ## Features - Unleash your creativity with stunning photo and video editing - Windows 10 , 8 and 7 - Get easy driver updates and one-click game optimization with GeForce experience - Tap into the efficient performance of the award-winning NVidia Pascal architecture - Extended warranty included with every graphics card purchase.

No dropped frames or anything. You would be fine. My experience is unless you are playing on a graphics engine that is incompatible with a game you will be fine with the minimum spec required for said game. No issues on my end. Thanks. **Q: Would this card be good for a htpc? i run wmc and am looking for a card that card run it at 4k.** A: Pretty sure the other 2 answers are for gaming at 4k. As for an htpc, to watch 4k content you need a card that supports HDMI 2.0 and hdpc 2.2. **Q: Is it really only upto ddr4 not ddr5. saw a review and its only ddr?** A: The DDR5 listed version is DDR5. There is a DDR4 version of the card which you should avoid. **Q: Does it run 4K** A: Yes, this Video card runs 4K ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good entry level card *by A***R on July 6, 2019* Really good card for the money.

I bought this for the expected performance and low cost. So far I am happy, I may never tax this video card as I don't play high end games. Please note, I believe this is as good of a video card as my computer deserves. Putting a $200 dollar video card in this computer would be a waste. ## Frequently Bought Together - ZOTAC GeForce GT 1030 2GB GDDR5 64-bit PCIe 3.0 DirectX 12 HDCP Ready Low Profile Video Card ZT-P10300A-10L - ARCTIC MX-4 (4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for All Processors (CPU, GPU - PC), Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Safe Application, Non-Conductive - Crucial 32GB DDR4 RAM Kit (2x16GB), 3200MHz (PC4-25600) CL22 Desktop Memory, UDIMM 288-Pin, Downclockable to 2933/2666MHz, Compatible with Intel and AMD Ryzen - CT2K16G4DFRA32A --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/42600231-geforce-gt-1030-2gb-gddr5-64-bit-pcie-3-0](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/42600231-geforce-gt-1030-2gb-gddr5-64-bit-pcie-3-0) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-20*
