After going through all the questions asked about this graphics card i want to share my experiences.
I bought this product in May-18 and have been using it for playings games like witcher 3, gta 5, metal gear solid phantom pain, far cry 4, fortnite, pubg mobile on emulator, apex legends, ac syndicate, watch dogs 2 etc.
As per specs this card is not for highend gaming its basically a beginners card. The aforementioned games i played them at 1440x900p at low to medium settings with ram of 12gb ddr3 and core i3 2100 processor. So my fps would be in the range of 30-60fps based on optimisation of game. In case of online games like fortnite and apex legends i play at 720p medium settings to hit 60fps mark. Games like far cry 4, ac syndicate medium settings is preferable. gta 5, phantom pain play at medium to high settings almost all time at 60 fps. Since the vram is only 2gb games like far cry 5, just cause 3, ac origins struggle to run at low – medium settings.
So to enjoy the gaming on this card minimum core i3 2nd gen or above, intel g4560, amd 6400 are suggestible with ram above 6gb.
And the best thing about this card is all the games released prior to 2017-18 can be played at high settings decently. Those who missed all the fun in past years can buy this and have lots of fun.

lo utilice para una build provisional en lo que conseguia dinero para piezas mejores, el rendimiento es el que se espera, no vas a jugar juegos con raytracing pero si quieres jugar lol o emular algunas cositas esta decente, aunque para eso ya estaria mejor comprar un ryzen con graficos integrados.

Needed a budget low profile card. This fits the bill. Got it installed, and is working flawlessly. Buyers needs to buy the DDR 5 version and not the DDR 4 one. There is massive difference in performance between the two.

Great card for mid level gaming, cannot get an account set up to download most up to date drivers etc. Also wish the instruction we a bit more detailed as to which slot to use, how to swap out the mounting plate. Overall good product.

Not a heavy gamer, so no comments elaborately on gaming performance in detail. One thing is absolutely correct, it can play games well at low to medium resolutions without any problem. Very small in size, so low power consumption. You need only 400w PSU, and it will work well in 300 w in think. fan is totally silent, but very small fan. Played games continuously for 3 hours, but not much heating to mention. Price I think is a bit higher, but if anyone can get it below 6k, then its also justifiable. Overall, I am happy with my purchase. Thank you seller and special thanks to amazon as all ways for your consistency and quality in packing and delivery. Good luck all.

Wow! I’m super impressed. I wanted to upgrade the Radeon HD6450 in a Dell 620s slim tower and there are very few options for a low profile graphics card that won’t overwhelm the stock 240W power supply.
The GT 1030’s Pascal architecture makes it far more energy efficient, so the stock PSU can handle the 30W power requirement with ease.
The GPU Passmark benchmarks also blow away the similar low profile, low wattage competition (Radeon HD 7750 or R7 240).
It also remains very affordable because 2GB ram it isn’t suitable for cryptocurrency mining so demand hasn’t driven up the price.
Plays Star Wars Battlefront on medium settings, this transformed an old Dell web browsing computer into a low end gaming system that the kids will enjoy for years.

Great if you are on a budget… But don’t expect much… In modern games like Assassin’s creed odyssey and Shadow of the Tomb Raider gives 30-40 FPS on very low settings… Good for eSports titles like rocket league, CS Go, Fortnite, etc. Apex legends works well with 40 FPS in very low 1080p but is fine for a budget builders point of view… But I think you should put a little more money and go for RX 560.
Update: After 6 months I think this was not such a good purchase. When I tried to run Just Cause 4, it was practically impossible to play with 10fps very low settings. Although the recently released valorant runs extremely smooth at around 100-120fps at very high settibg at 1080p so am happy because I play shooters like that a lot.
