Review on ASUS GeForce GDDR5 Graphics GT1030 2G CSM by Phil Casey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Packs a good punch for its price.

Bought for a budget gaming computer I was building. It works great and installs with no problems. Normally there is no Nvidia support for Linux, but after installing the Nvidia 381 driver and a quick reboot on Mint 18.1 (Ubuntu 16.04) it worked fine. It plays great in all my games, although some of them require me to downscale the graphics a bit to maintain a stable 60fps, but considering how cheap this card is, I was expecting that. Definitely worth it for those trying to save money on a gaming desktop or HTPC.

Pros
  • Useful not only for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Updates
