Box Contains 1 x Graphics Card plus cables/adapter Review: Great, cheap graphics card for general use and Photo AI software - I read the reviews and this looked perfect for fitting inside my very small SFF case but I was worried that it might be slightly too big. Fortunately, it fits OK inside the case (Dell Optiplex 7020). I can now use my Iiyama wide monitor at it's top resolution of 3440x1440 and it runs Topaz Photo AI software faster than the I7 CPU. Very happy with the purchase. Review: Cool & quiet - It was time to upgrade my 11 year old Intel Core 2 Duo based PC recently and so I had done all the usual things someone who is able to build their own machine does, namely I selected my CPU, motherboard, RAM and SSD. Now, I must stress that my needs are very modest. I do not play any kind of games nor do I run any content creation software. In essence, my PC is a fancy office PC. All that was left was to choose a new graphics card. I could retain my ancient Nvidia GeForece 9600GT, but that card required additional power via the appropriate cable from the power supply and I wanted something much more energy efficient, quiet and modern. The choices given my use case were fairly obvious. I could go for an AMD RX550 or the Nvidia GT1030. Both cards traded blows in various performance charts, but what tipped the balance for me was the fact that the Nvidia offering did not require additional power, drawing a paltry 30 Watts maximum from the PCI-E slot. Using less energy usually also translates to a cooler running card and so the GT1030 was the clear choice for me. In addition, the 1030 was actually cheaper! Next decision was, which one? Perhaps ironically, I wanted a card that had a fan and thus was actively cooled. Despite the card running fairly cool anyway, I still wanted an actively pooled one rather than various passively cooled cards on offer. Sure, those cards may be better suited for use in a home theatrew PC based in your living room, but I still find the fan to be so quiet,it really isn't an issue. Most cards offered a pair of video ports, usually an HDMI and a DVI port. That suited me, although MSI did offer one with a Display port in place of the DVI port which was no good to me although may be a consideration to others who require or prefer connecting their monitor via a display port connection. So, of the actively cooled GT1030's available, which one to pick? There are some models that come pre overclocked from the factory, offering around 50MHz higher boost clock speeds, but this is a tiny performance bump in the scheme of things and I suspect is more a marketing ploy to part you with more money. besides, if you know your stuff, you can likely add the 50MHz to the boost clock if you're so inclined using the required software tools. Nope, no need for a tiny boost like that, so why did I finally settle on the Zotac model? Well, as cooling was my consideration for selection, I literally weighed up the list of cards which saw the Zotac model come in at some 318G, the heaviest model I was able to find. Added weight usually is as a result of more metal, more cooling area in other words. On a card so small, I cannot think of much else to account for the difference between some of the models. In addition, to anyone considering this model for their HTPC build, it does come with the half height bracket so many have lamented were missing from their choice of cards. Further, the Zotac card was one of the cheapest available at the time I purchased, so a great deal since I got a fan and a bracket for that price! In operation the card runs cool and quiet. However, to be fair, I am not stressing it at all as it essentially just runs my Windows 10 desktop and video playback via YouTube and the like. Still, inside my tower case the fan via the software utility, Hardware Info, reported an idle temp in the mid 30's - around 35C I believe. Fan noise was not even noticeable. I could hear my case exhaust fan and CPU cooler fan over the video card. Of course, quiet is subjective, so anyone wanting a truly silent card for their HTPC setup may want to consider a passively cooled model, but I don't think the fan on this would be an annoyance even in a small HTPC case, - not unless, of course, you're sat with your head close to the case and then you might hear the low whir of it. A note to the less informed, do not select a card that advertises it uses DDR4 memory rather than the much faster GDDR5. Some vendors did release cards, Palette was one I believe, that used this inferior form of memory for the card's video RAM. There have been some critical reviews of the GT1030 that focus on its relatively poor gaming performance. This card was not designed for gaming, so the critical nature of some reviews is unfair. Yes, you can run some lightweight games on this card,but do not purchase this card if you believe it's going to offer a highly playable frame rates on Pub G at high settings. For those who simply want a cool, quiet and efficient video card for everyday PC use with the ability to playback 1080p and 4K video content, this is all you need if your choice of CPU does not come with an integrated GPU as most Intel CPU's have done for the last several generations. For average desktop use and video playback, even that will work fine for you. If, like me, you've opted for an AMD CPU that doesn't come with an integrated GPU, then this card is a good choice. ## Features - Memory storage capacity: 2048 MB - NVIDIA Pascal Architecture / NVIDIA GameWorks - GeForce Experience / Game Ready Drivers - NVIDIA GPU Boost 3.0 / Vulkan API. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0711NWFJX | | Antenna Location | Office, Professional | | Best Sellers Rank | 135,177 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 917 in Graphics Cards | | Box Contents | Driver Disk, Low-profile bracket, Quick Install Guide, ZOTAC GeForce GT 1030 | | Brand Name | ZOTAC | | Compatible Devices | Mainboard | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (2,001) | | Display Maximum Resolution | 3840 x 2160 | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 5 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04895173613272 | | Graphics Card Interface | PCI Express | | Graphics Card Ram | 2 MB | | Graphics Coprocessor | Nvidia | | Graphics Description | Zotac Gaming GeForce GT 1030 GDDR5 2GB 64bit PCIe 3.0 Graphics Card with 1392 MHz Base Clock and 1506 MHz Boost Clock.

No dropped frames or anything. You would be fine. My experience is unless you are playing on a graphics engine that is incompatible with a game you will be fine with the minimum spec required for said game. No issues on my end. Thanks. **Q: Would this card be good for a htpc? i run wmc and am looking for a card that card run it at 4k.** A: Pretty sure the other 2 answers are for gaming at 4k. As for an htpc, to watch 4k content you need a card that supports HDMI 2.0 and hdpc 2.2. **Q: Is it really only upto ddr4 not ddr5. saw a review and its only ddr?** A: The DDR5 listed version is DDR5. There is a DDR4 version of the card which you should avoid. **Q: Does it run 4K** A: Yes, this Video card runs 4K ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, cheap graphics card for general use and Photo AI software *by K***R on 8 March 2023* I read the reviews and this looked perfect for fitting inside my very small SFF case but I was worried that it might be slightly too big.

Paired with an i5-2400 i can play War Thunder at 1080 on high settings . Makes hardly any noise which is good as the system was almost silent before and it would have been a shame to spoil it with a noisy fan ## Frequently Bought Together - ZOTAC GeForce GT 1030 2GB GDDR5 64-bit PCIe 3.0 DirectX 12 HDCP Ready Low Profile Video Card ZT-P10300A-10L - ARCTIC MX-4 (4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for All Processors (CPU, GPU - PC), Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Safe Application, Non-Conductive - Crucial 32GB DDR4 RAM Kit (2x16GB), 3200MHz (PC4-25600) CL22 Desktop Memory, UDIMM 288-Pin, Downclockable to 2933/2666MHz, Compatible with Intel and AMD Ryzen - CT2K16G4DFRA32A --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/48411857-nvidia-geforce-gt-1030-2-gb-gddr5-graphics-card-black](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/48411857-nvidia-geforce-gt-1030-2-gb-gddr5-graphics-card-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
