Review on ASUS GeForce GDDR5 Graphics GT1030 2G CSM by Ronnie Saylor

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great as a temporary replacement

I am using this card in my power rig as a spare while waiting for the next gen card. I really like the fact that it is absolutely silent and that the price-performance ratio is convincing. It can run Skyrim Special Edition at a solid 60 fps on the low graphics preset of 1080p and boost Synthetic: Legion's 120 fps to 1440p. I also tested Borderlands 3 and mostly stayed at 60 fps down to 540p low (better than the Nintendo Switch can handle many games). Gaming aside (this card isn't for gaming anyway), this card can handle your day-to-day computing needs at any reasonable resolution very comfortably, and for the price they're charging it's no problem as a backup card or as a rig charger with integrated graphics.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • No form needed
