Review on 💻 Gigabyte GT 1030 GV-N1030D5-2GL Low Profile 2G Graphics Card by Adrianne Jimenez

GeForce GT 1030 2GB DDR5 64-Bit should be one of the best values for a graphics card under 100€. Я провел много исследований в поисках чего-то, что подойдет для моей конкретной установки: я взял старый (более ранний) HP Elite 8200 SFF с процессором Intel i5-2400 3,1 ГГц и 8 ГБ ОЗУ по довольно низкой цене в ИТ-отделе at work. , and it had a GT 310 which SWTOR could barely run on low settings (30-40 fps). I was worried about finding something that would fit in the SFF tower and run off a standard 240W PSU (I didn't have the budget to upgrade both). Even though this card is min. 300w PSU, I looked at the specs and it draws the same amount of power as the GT 310, so I felt safe. In addition, I don’t run much from the power supply otherwise, so my total power requirement is relatively low. Installing the hardware was easier than expected (yes, it includes the flat mount that the SFF tower needed), and installing the software was as simple as booting up the computer after installing the graphics card and running the CD. It took about 20 minutes to install all the programs and drivers and the device was ready to use. I'm currently playing SWTOR on Ultra settings at 1600x1200 at 80-90 fps. I was able to temporarily connect to another monitor and play at slightly adjusted very high settings (reduced AA but not off), getting 60-70fps at 1920x1080. I don't need to play the latest games, just a few old ones which are definitely tasty (I'll be trying Skyrim soon and I have no doubt it will run fine on high settings). I have to say that this card is really good for the price and is a great choice for an entry-level graphics card for gamers on a budget.
