Exactly, I have a 900p monitor, a core 2 quad cpu and 4gigs of ddr2 ram and I bought the gt 1030 and I'm getting 36 FPS on Avarage with MAX settings, AA and advanced graphics off, it's very good.
Mate, when benchmarking don't do CS:GO if you are using an overkill CPU because CS:GO is not so GPU demanding it more relies on the CPU. Nice video though
The gt 1030 is great. The RX 460 is better, but it requires a decent PSU, so when you recommend someone a $100 rx 460 GPU they end up spending $135 including a PSU, and when you recommend a 1050 ti they spend $165. This is a true budget GPU, and any ignorant person will recommend a used $70 GPU which requires a better PSU and no guarantee that the GPU will work, nor an extended warrantee in the case that it fails after months of use. This is the type of card above the previous GTs that can actually play every game out there at reasonable frame rates without the need to upgrade your PSU. This is the ideal card for a $200 pc build that anyone can buy!!
The RX 460 has a total power draw of 75W, and reference boards don't have a 6 pin connecter. You can easily install an RX 460 on 300W PSU. Also a decent power supply, doesn't cost 150 bucks, a 400W EVGA unit is like 20 bucks...
Since the card does not have other 6 or 8 pin connector, it can pull up to 75 Watt from the MOBO. A basic HP or Lenovo endpoint computer with an i3. The 300W supply is still recommended since the other components can peak the supply. If this thing could have 3 or 4 gigs of ram it could be the most monstrous 80-90 $ card.
Thanks this review was the exact model and branded card I was checking and your mother board is the same cpu socket and pci slot version as mine so now I know exactly how it will perform and it is compatible with my fairly old setup, I'm only using it for htpc and wanted the dual hdmi/display port out to run on two separate screens in separate rooms, one for movies one for normal pc use.
Because trust me I searched long and wide for something like that, and unless they came out with something in the last 3 months, either it's low profile but double slot OR single Slot but full length (Not low profile).
It's also the only version of the card that I found is 0.7 inch thick, well within the 1 inch range between the PCIe and PSU on my PC. Yes there are 1.5 inch and 0.7 inch cards out there, that should be a category.
Can I know what cpu are you using :) cuz I would like to buy that GPU and play gta V this is the best video I found yet a budget gpu thst run gta v very smooth sorry if my english is bad :(
you'll grow mate, high quality vids, just calm it down a little bit, your smile at the beginning of the vid seems to be too little to much mate, just cut down alittle bit and you'll be better I THINK
@dio brando Haven't tried. The games I have tried are portal (1 and 2), Minecraft, and among us. All of which ran at 60 fps. I did try rocket league and I am not sure if it was because of the old CPU that I had or whatever, but I couldn't get a solid 60 fps on rocket league.
one suggestion though,put it in a used htpc like those dell optiplex(with i3/i5 2***)which i intend to buy for my 1080p tv..would it perform well in those popular titles🤔🤔,bdway great vid though😂
I've got a hp 6005 sff with a phenom II x4 as a media pc ... got a gt430 in it now but was considering to replace it with a gt 1030 to be able to place some games on my tv.
Loved the video, such good insights. Could you possibly do one on the msi gt1030 aero. It has gddr5 memory not sure of this one did. Looks a bit older.
This card is perfect for 1366x768 75hz screens, it can run AAA titles with 30-80 fps on medium to high presets which is pretty sweet if you're building a low budget rig.
Sigh... Performance is not the only thing that matters. Obviosuly, thermals are probably nothing to worry about on a card like this, but what about the NOISE? How do you not speak a word about it?
Hi, Thinking of buying this for my Lenovo M900 SFF pc (I5-6500, 8gb ram). Just used for light gaming. But is the fan loud? I was thinking of the fanless verson tho..
i got a hp 8200 workstation pc for free with an i7 2600, 12gb od 1333mhz ddr3 ram and a gt 730, i upgraded it for a 1030 because the psu is shit and it wont fit normal 24 pin ones... so far i am happy with it
Zach Ferree NP. any chance if a comparison between the RX460 passive and 1050TI passive cards? seeing performance on the TI over my XFX 4GB 460 DualFan made me rethink my life choices
I would love to buy tons of cards for videos but I can't afford to buy multiple versions of the same graphics card. It's already expensive buying most of these cards for the pure reason of benchmarking videos. I have a GTX 980 for my personal computer and I buy all these cards for you guys!
I have question i have intel i5 core 3470 3.2 ghz . With this video card i can get near 150 fps on CS:GO on max 1024res. and all on low settings ingame ?
this is my specs of my computer i5 4th gen. intel hd graphics 4600 8gb single stick ram 500gb hdd 240w psu +80 bronze slim casing, Can i Play NBA2k17? GTA5 ? Is it safe to put this kind of videocard with my 240w Powersupply?! I just see the specification of my motherboard Lenovo Pcie slot, 40w max only
well,in my country a gt 730 is 99$ and 1030 is 119$.I want to get a temporary graphics card which should last me until the end of year when i get my new pc.Should i just get the 730 or get the 1030? I have a really tight budget
I don’t know how you got those benchmarks but this graphics card can can easily play bf1 on high settings at 50fps, Witcher 3 on med at 35 FPS and more. The Witcher 3 is a very demanding game so try to redo the benchmarks with a better cpu bc I don’t consider them valid, you have major cpu bottle neck then bc I personally own the card and this card kicks butt being able to get play everything med-high settings without a problem including demanding games. Again this card performs very similar to gtx 750 ti and is still can game in 2017 (or 2018.)
I used Mirillis Action for this video. Usually with higher end Nvidia cards I'll use Nvidia share and for AMD cards I use Crimson ReLive. But for lower end cards like this I always use Action.
I would personally search on UA-cam for someone with your specific settings, I'm sure there's someone out there! But for a rough ballpark, for CPU intensive games like GTA 5 it'll be a a bit behind, but for GPU intensive titles like Doom you'll barely notice a difference!
Check out my GT 1030 In A Super Budget Build video... 15 games benchmarked! ua-cam.com/video/AaZkWmKAlVM/v-deo.html
Zach Ferree do you think that I could play rainbow six siege with this card cause I have an intel core 2 duo e7500 so idk if it will run fine.
Binh-Minh Nguyen - I have an E8500, 8GB of ram, and a 1030 and it runs fine for me.
Gregory Pineda oh ok thanks!
Damn you deserve million sub bro ! This vid really helps me a lot !!
Thank you very much, glad it helped!
1030 will be very good on 900p /1024p/720p smaller monitors with low resolution.Old core 2 quad and 4 gb ram and you are good to go :)
+TheOnlyHero91 it still does pretty well in 1080p but yea you're right too!
Exactly, I have a 900p monitor, a core 2 quad cpu and 4gigs of ddr2 ram and I bought the gt 1030 and I'm getting 36 FPS on Avarage with MAX settings, AA and advanced graphics off, it's very good.

Mate, when benchmarking don't do CS:GO if you are using an overkill CPU because CS:GO is not so GPU demanding it more relies on the CPU. Nice video though
He deserves at least 100k subs

Thanks! One day!
yes man!!
for sure!
The gt 1030 is great.

Good summary. If you have $70 to spend and ONLY $70 to spend, then a GT 1030 is a pretty safe bet.
Zach Ferree it wont burn the house down even with a noname psu😂😂
Clorox Splash-Less Bleach well i cant even buy a 10dollar pc 😂😂
Meh, i'd still rather a 750 ti or 750.
The RX 460 has a total power draw of 75W, and reference boards don't have a 6 pin connecter. You can easily install an RX 460 on 300W PSU. Also a decent power supply, doesn't cost 150 bucks, a 400W EVGA unit is like 20 bucks...
wtf i thought he had 500k subs wow
One day!
You just got another one. Keep up the good work!
Thanks man!
Zach how good is this Graphics Card playing BattleGrounds?
im pretty sure he already tested that on a newer video check it out
All of ur vids give really good incite on hardware .You really narrowed my card options down.
You just gained a new subscriber. :)
Glad to hear it! Thanks for joining.
You speak kinda slow. 1.25 is just right
Jerson Tecson lol i watched whole vid with 1.25 thanks lmao!
Jerson Tecson lmao
1.5 is fun
0.75 is gold
Lmao
I just got a 1030 a few days ago, and I'm pretty shocked, this card's perfromance is surprisingly good.
Wow nice! What CPU do you have paired with it.
@@ZachsTechTurf Amd Ryzen 1200. It's cheap, but definiately worth the price. This rig is just enough for 1440*900. :)
First genuinely useful review I’ve found, all the others have been inconsistent, thank you!
Since the card does not have other 6 or 8 pin connector, it can pull up to 75 Watt from the MOBO. A basic HP or Lenovo endpoint computer with an i3. The 300W supply is still recommended since the other components can peak the supply.
If this thing could have 3 or 4 gigs of ram it could be the most monstrous 80-90 $ card.
Thanks so much! this closed my choice so easily. Great review plus great content quality makes me happy. Just subbed.
Makes me happy that you subbed, thanks!
This may be the best option for my dell optiplex 9020 SFF.
I definitely wanna buy something like that and turn it into a video!
I would hihgly appreciate that. Keep doing great videos :)
I just added one to my Dell OptiPlex 7010 DT (SFF).
Thanks this review was the exact model and branded card I was checking and your mother board is the same cpu socket and pci slot version as mine so now I know exactly how it will perform and it is compatible with my fairly old setup, I'm only using it for htpc and wanted the dual hdmi/display port out to run on two separate screens in separate rooms, one for movies one for normal pc use.
This is actually the most powerful gaming card on the market that is both low profile AND single slot wide.
It's not really a gaming card. It's a stellar HTPC card for all the HDMI 2.0 users.
Link?
Because trust me I searched long and wide for something like that, and unless they came out with something in the last 3 months, either it's low profile but double slot OR single Slot but full length (Not low profile).

It's dual slot, another one who doesn't know what single slot and double slot are... nice try though. ;)
It's also the only version of the card that I found is 0.7 inch thick, well within the 1 inch range between the PCIe and PSU on my PC. Yes there are 1.5 inch and 0.7 inch cards out there, that should be a category.
You can grab this from ebay for £50 an awesome option for new pc builders!
lol i thought you are on something a big tech review channel :) Hope you reach 100k subs Fast
I appreciate it!
Can I know what cpu are you using :) cuz I would like to buy that GPU and play gta V this is the best video I found yet a budget gpu thst run gta v very smooth sorry if my english is bad :(
I used an i7 4790k in the video which isn't a good match for the GT 1030, it far outclasses it.
thankz :)
Could u please try the GT 1030 on battlegrounds, would really appreciate that :)
I'm gonna make an upgraded version of my Battlegrounds benchmarking video very soon, thanks for the suggestion!
You just got yourself a sub with that voice and the HD gameplay
That's what's up, thanks!
can it play MKV files at 4K ???
How do you have 3.8k subs? You deserve 1m
Means a lot, help share the videos and maybe one day I can have that many!
I bought An EVGA GT 1030 (looks similar to yours) I upgrade from an MSI GT 730 2 gig ddr5. Huge upgrade! Thanks for the video Zach!
Of course! How's it running?
Runs great! Borderlands 2 and Pre run much smoother on 900p and 1080p.
Glad to hear it!
Jesus this channel is a truly a hidden gem
Don't hide it, tell your friends lol! But thanks.
Thanks Zach for the review. Wasn't sure about buying one but then I seen your video. End up picking one up glad I did thanks man.
Is it good for playing games at 720p though?
Ramy Medhat probs 80 fps plus
you'll grow mate, high quality vids, just calm it down a little bit, your smile at the beginning of the vid seems to be too little to much mate, just cut down alittle bit and you'll be better I THINK
league of legends on minimum graphics only with ink activated at 1080p
i wanna see if i can run it on a 240hz monitor
Mauri QHD - Try lol if you can afford a 240hz monitor you can probably afford a better gpu
but the gag is.. im on a budget, so if this one can run it at 240fps
ill buy it, and then buy the monitor, that is expensive af here
Have you thought about reviewing the Kaer videocards that can be found on Amazon.
Zach, thank you very much for doing this video and the work behind it. It's very useful analysis.
Just got a new budget gaming rig and this card works pretty well for it.
@dio brando Haven't tried. The games I have tried are portal (1 and 2), Minecraft, and among us. All of which ran at 60 fps. I did try rocket league and I am not sure if it was because of the old CPU that I had or whatever, but I couldn't get a solid 60 fps on rocket league.
@dio brando yeah for sure! I just upgraded to a ryzen 3600. Definitely an upgrade from my old phenom CPU😂
Good vid, but wow, where did you get it for $70 new? It's now 2020, and it's $90+ EVERYWHERE lol... amazing how prices change.
Thank you bro for this video! Now I can finally decide if Im going for this graphic card. You just earn a subscriber!
Glad to help!
Would suggest benchmarking on Unigine's "Heaven" and/or "Valley" for a more universally accessible source of comparisons.
Thanks for the video! I need a low profile card and I think that I will be getting one of these for a build I am doing.
Nice, let me know how it goes!
I have the exact same card. Im lovin' it!
Good to hear!
Love ur ideas with budget builds with this card ! Keep it up !
Thanks, will do!
Great Content you deserve more than this your Victory is coming
one suggestion though,put it in a used htpc like those dell optiplex(with i3/i5 2***)which i intend to buy for my 1080p tv..would it perform well in those popular titles🤔🤔,bdway great vid though😂
+crysisownz I plan on doing something very similar for a video!
Awesome video! Lots of info, but i can't decide between the 1050 2g and this one (if I choose the 1030 i can upgrade my ram). Subbed!
If you can afford the 1050 then 100% go with that!
Nice video! Instant sub!
+Javier Bravo instant thanks! (6 hours late)
Well this graphics card is made to support H.265 (HAVC) Video encode and HDMI v2.0
I've got a hp 6005 sff with a phenom II x4 as a media pc ... got a gt430 in it now but was considering to replace it with a gt 1030 to be able to place some games on my tv.
Loved the video, such good insights. Could you possibly do one on the msi gt1030 aero. It has gddr5 memory not sure of this one did. Looks a bit older.
how in the hell u dont have more that 500k subs
Haha ;)
This card is perfect for 1366x768 75hz screens, it can run AAA titles with 30-80 fps on medium to high presets which is pretty sweet if you're building a low budget rig.
Exactly. Perfect for people on a budget that don't wanna buy used.
Basically a good card for Esports games, Indies, and 720p gaming on newer cards.
I have the gigabyte GT 1030 and love it.. I previously had the GT 610 !
Glad to hear it!
The most underrated channel
What tools do I need to take the bracket off this, so I can put on the low profile one?
I have this graphics card and its working great!.I recommend it!
Yea I’m on a budget and planning to get this!
@@drown4486 don’t... I had to upgrade it
I have that video card but it does not work on an asrock plate h61m vg3 I have the drivers installed but it has a yellow sign that could be?
Sigh... Performance is not the only thing that matters. Obviosuly, thermals are probably nothing to worry about on a card like this, but what about the NOISE? How do you not speak a word about it?
good video quality fam i subbed
It is when your using the gtx745
Damn dude :| Nice channel .YOu'll get 100K subs in no time !
I hope so, thanks!
Hi,
Thinking of buying this for my Lenovo M900 SFF pc (I5-6500, 8gb ram).
Just used for light gaming. But is the fan loud? I was thinking of the fanless verson tho..
I like dis guy had to sub!
Please tell me ... is this card supports 144 refresh rate monitor via display port or it is locked on 60hz ?
What is different between gt 1030 msi,GIGABITE & zotac
i know this video is three years old, but do you think i can run these games with this card at playable fps with an intel core i3-3220?
you sound like you are forcing every little bit of happiness out of you every video other than that cool channel
i got a hp 8200 workstation pc for free with an i7 2600, 12gb od 1333mhz ddr3 ram and a gt 730, i upgraded it for a 1030 because the psu is shit and it wont fit normal 24 pin ones... so far i am happy with it
+Михаил Генералова Good to hear! I love seeing people upgrade old workstations with this card, that's exactly what it's meant for.
All depends on what CPU he’s using he can be using a cpu that’s 2 times more expensive then the actual gou
I have an xp pen artist 12 display tablet and dell optiplex 7010 (the big case) will this card support both?
Wait , this card only had a hdmi port , how do I use 144hz without a DP?
Hey Great video. Btw was the Doom testing done with Vulkan?
just to let you know, your description say "Let's find out and see what the Nvidia GT 730 from MSI can do!"
this is a video on the 1030
Damnit, thank you!

Awsome review bro!!! Can u tell me.., this card will run with my core 2 quad Q300 cpu without any problem?
Yea that'll work with that CPU.
Would this be a good low profile graphics card to replace my Intel 4400
Yea it comes with a low profile bracket
How will this graphics card do for halo 3 MCC!!!!???? Is it able to run halo 3 1080p 60fps
Where did y'all buy it for 70$ ?
thanks for the review buddy!!😎
Thanks for the comment buddy!
I have question i have intel i5 core 3470 3.2 ghz . With this video card i can get near 150 fps on CS:GO on max 1024res. and all on low settings ingame ?
it went up in price like everything else
first of all I wanna pay a tribute to you coz you guys protect our country thank you so much🙌🙌🙌🙌

A good quality video as always. 👍
Thank you very much!

Thanks for the comment.
hey bro i just ordered this card is it really good for gaming for budget and is gigabyte gt 1030 is better than this? (sorry for my bad english)
There’s barely any difference between the different brands.
What is the replacement card for this? need one for an Optiplex 3020 SFF that has hdmi and dp
lol i thought u have 1million subs, nice video man
Haha thanks!
How would this proforma running World of Tanks I'm really big into that game and am looking to get better graphics out of my Dell 9010.
well,in my country a gt 730 is 99$ and 1030 is 119$.I want to get a temporary graphics card which should last me until the end of year when i get my new pc.Should i just get the 730 or get the 1030? I have a really tight budget
GT 1030 man, you can play in 1080p 30FPS. Lower the resolution and you get 40-60 or more. It's the best deal at its price, new.
here in india it retails for the same price of a us 1050
Ive been waiting for this one
Better late than never!
Zach Ferree - By the way, why would you purchase a 4790k and not overclock it?
I don’t know how you got those benchmarks but this graphics card can can easily play bf1 on high settings at 50fps, Witcher 3 on med at 35 FPS and more. The Witcher 3 is a very demanding game so try to redo the benchmarks with a better cpu bc I don’t consider them valid, you have major cpu bottle neck then bc I personally own the card and this card kicks butt being able to get play everything med-high settings without a problem including demanding games. Again this card performs very similar to gtx 750 ti and is still can game in 2017 (or 2018.)
Nice review mate!
Thanks mate!
nice video and nice dog hahaha! congratulations😊
Thanks!
Can I use this as a external for my labtop with the power supply and the dock
I have a 768p monitor, do you think fps will be higher than if it was 1080p?
Tarmius yep lowering down the resolution will always increase fps
Hey man what did you use to record the gameplay footage? Thanks a lot!
I used Mirillis Action for this video. Usually with higher end Nvidia cards I'll use Nvidia share and for AMD cards I use Crimson ReLive. But for lower end cards like this I always use Action.
does it come with the smaller bracket?
What results should I expect with an i5 7400?
I would personally search on UA-cam for someone with your specific settings, I'm sure there's someone out there! But for a rough ballpark, for CPU intensive games like GTA 5 it'll be a a bit behind, but for GPU intensive titles like Doom you'll barely notice a difference!
what processor did you uses for this build ?
Whoud you rather Gt 1030 gigabyte version or Msi Rx 550 ? the bouth are 2gb
Depends on the prices. They are pretty sinilar
I have a Amd a10 7800 apu so i think rx 550 shoud be better...Wha do you think?
