Asking about the NVIDIA GT 1030.

[ArrivedKnight7]

I was wondering before I buy this card this saturday, if the NVIDIA GT 1030 2GB GDDR5 Loow profile card will fit in a Optiplex 3010 tower, and NO not the SFF, nor the Mini tower, the mini tower is huge. the 3010 DT is the one that I have and I am wondering If it will fit and is it the best low profile card that doesn't cost over $100.00 US. please respond to me as soon as you can so I can enjoy gamming like everyone else too! :D (NOTE: the ONLY games I want to know that will run at medium or med-low or better on this card are; ETS2, ATS, TRAINZ:A new era, and WATCH_DOGS. If you know at least that this card will playall 4 of these titles or 3 out of 4, PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP. Rember I have only till this saterday or sunday to decide.) P.S. if you tell me to get the 1050 instead, DON'T REMIND ME. I know it is better but remember I only have an Optiplex 3010 (DT), It MUST be low profile or it won't fit!

GT 1030 is not a gaming card. Don't buy it.

[ArrivedKnight7]

will it play at med to med low? for these titles?

[ArrivedKnight7]

or do you know a card that WILL fit an optiplex 3010 (DT)?

Any low-profile card should fit in it, I have one too. I use it as a server pc, but I did have to replace the video card in mine about 2 yrs ago. Bought a low-profile Radeon card for it, and it fit right in there, no problems.

[ArrivedKnight7]

so can it fit the optiplex 3010 (DT) AND run ETS2 and ATS2 at med? I'm not asking for ULTIMATE quality, remember we aren't all rich. but will it play these? seeing that the card only uses 30W?

[Hypertext Eye]

I don't know, I'm just telling you not to buy a GT 1030 for gaming because it is not a gaming card.

It will be able to run ETS2 and ATS, but so will your IGP. I seriously doubt it will run Watch_Dogs well at all, even on low settings.

rember it is a GDDR5 and i am using now a GT 730 2GB DDR3 in the PCI-e 2.0 x16 slot

[ArrivedKnight7]

what about TRAINZ: a new era at low settings?

[ArrivedKnight7]

also thanks for the help, you are the only one to answer my call for help this week! :D

For gaming? Really? You wasted your money on that one.

I don't care what "Google" says, GT 1030 is not a gaming card.

[ArrivedKnight7]

ok well will a GDDR5 fit in the PCI-3 2.0 x16 slot on it? try looking up the DELL optiplex 3010 (DT) and look for your self (just in case)
