Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Asus GeForce GT 1030 2GB PH-GT1030-O2G Phoenix Fan OC Edition Graphics Card with HDMI and DVI by Kristina Brooks

Perfect fit for Dell Inspiron 3880

I just bought a Dell Inspiron 3880 from Costco and wanted to upgrade the graphics card due to the limitations of the built in ones. I have an LG 32 monitor with a native resolution of 1920x1080p. With the built-in map, things are a bit unclear. The problem with the 3880 is finding a graphics card that will run on a PC with only a 200w PSU that is NOT upgradeable. According to the description it could work. So I bought it to try. I'm happy to report that it works great with no crashes. (for now) and it clears the display and everything is clear. You can upgrade to a higher resolution with this card, but it still looks better natively on my monitor. Full Disclosure - I'm NOT a gamer so I don't know how well the card will perform in these conditions on this PC. But it perfectly reproduces videos at 120 Hz. By the way, if you go to the Asus website to download drivers, you won't find the exact model number for this model (part of CSM), but there is an identical set for GT1030-2G-BRK. (Took me ages to find it as their website in the support department isn't exactly user friendly.) Hope this helps.
