I have two of these Gigabyte brand GT1030 OC (2GB) graphics cards in our two 11 years old HP Pavilion Elite towers and these cards work great! I replaced 7 & 9 year old EVGA graphics cards that had only 1GB memory and the fans kept stopping at inappropriate times, to the point the computer would shut down & reboot. Vacuuming & blowing out any dust & particulate matter didn't help....AND those fans were loud. This Gigabyte GT1030 OC fan is really quiet. It's a soft hum. Now, we're not serious gamers. We do a mix of processes on our HP's like, but not limited to: Watching videos, Microsoft Office, graphic editing, machine embroidery software, Internet surfing, Skype, etc. and these cards are fine. Although I do sometimes play Fortnite Battle Royale (for kicks) on my HP Omen laptop, and it works fine with the OEM Nvidia GT1060 (6GB), I'm not able to test Fortnite on either of our HP towers because the processors are way to slow, which is only going to slow down the graphics even more in an online game.

The product itself is fine. The problem with this model is that it is not a low profile card so it will not fit in a smll form factor pc. With a larger case like a mid tower that would accommodate the card a person can simply buy a much more powerful card such as a 570 or 1060 for similar money. It should be used by people who are not looking to upgrde a power supply and are comfortable streaming video at 4k at playing games at 1080p at low settings. I would recommend it for someone with an office pc that they would like to occassionally play games or edit video or stream video, or for a home entertainment system that you wish to run via a pc.

.. I love 1030s I have so much even took a chance I bought one of those China ones. They are all working great. 30 watts I'm playing gta 5. The secret trick on these run at 720p with a high end Samsung 32 inch 720p HDr. The HDr washes out all the so called removing detail when you turn it down. I definitely can't tell the difference neither can my friends and man I hang out with a ton of gamers. At first I don't tell them so they automatically are like no way. But then I get like gta 5 going or fortnite or rise of tomb raider. I always ask them what you think the settings are on? They always say high maybe ultra. No one has 21 ever been like that's definetly lowerd settings. HDr is worth it I know it's 35 dollars more at my store best buy for HDr. So I bought a different brand with HDr that's 720p and tried it. Specter Walmart special lol. Looks as good too. So if you like seeing budget hardware do it's Thang buy one. BTW I have better cards on paper. But these are fun to Tinker with almost like over clocking tell you hit that number that everyone said no way. 1060 is on the shelf. Kinda stupid of me i know.i like to improve things myself. It's boring just to throw a card in and play everything on highest. With no effort on my part. I guess some people don't get a kick out of stuff like I do. But alot of people have been like how did you figure this out? I ordered a TV for guest room best buy I didn't even think they made 720p with HDr lol. That doesn't even sound right. I'm so glad I figured it out because I bet maybe someone on a budget wants to play on same quality as a 580 or 1070 does. Just the pictures not fps. I'll keep trying new ways with budget stuff so fun. Read full review

This GPU is working great so far as a passthrough card for a Windows VM that I aim to play older games on that won't work on WINE/Proton very well or at all on the host system.

Product works but fan was louder than expected. Probably could have worked without the fan as TDP is only 30W and my case has good ventilation.
