GTA V high settings with around 40 fps on a true budget build is not pushing the limit...
Its a dream come true.
that frame stutter, from what I'm assuming is a cpu bottleneck, looks like a rough ride though. but yeah surprisingly good
I got 60 fps on high settings with GT 1030, 8gb ram and i7 7700
the i3 2100 is bottlenecking the GT1030
i get 60 fps on high with gt 1030 and i7 860
Alex Sampsonite i think it was just the recording since he didnt say anything about it🤔
So true..just need to tweak some settings and voila you will have 60 fps +
I was not expecting that many fps

Many* :)
aidan c. its much you grammar noob

It's definitely 'many.'
man·y
[ˈmenē]
DETERMINER
more (comparative adjective) · most (superlative adjective)
a large number of:
"many people agreed with her" · "the solution to many of our problems" · "many think it is a new craze"
NOUN
the majority of people:
"music for the many"
synonyms: people · common people · masses · multitude · populace · public · rank and file · proletariat · mob
antonyms: few
In this case it is "a large number of" frames per second. Don't try to correct something that's already right.
Jeez, are you triggered? Big deal if they don't use the right word. You can still tell what they meant, which is all that matters.

I don't really care, I was just informing them of the correct use of the word. :)
Gta 5 at 40 fps pushing the limits !?
Here in my area if one's pc could run gta 4 in 15 fps low settings we consider it as a great gaming pc .......... Too poor to afford a gaming beast ......
~$70 USD can get you that card
Gta 4 is badly opitimized though
Abbey Road
But for that card we will need a
-new CPU
-new motherboard
-new faster ram
etc ....
........so total cost at least $450
And gt1030 is worth $92 in my country + all other parts are also expensive
Why would you need new faster ram for that?...
Jayden van oorschot
Becoz new games can't run on ddr1 ram 😅
Great video! I did something very similar a few weeks ago. I found a Dell Inspiron mini at a thrift store untested for $10. It had no HDD but is an Ivy Bridge i3-3240 with 8GB DDR3 1600. I bought an MSI GT1030 and a WD 250GB SSD and now I have a great little HTPC for 4k60 video and even light 1080p gaming. Total cost was $185, Including an LG Blu-ray drive.
Great build and great explanations Matt!
Can U build a $500 gaming pc that can run roblox and with mowds pls??????without lag of course.
BadassMOfoe GAmen27 roblox LUL
BadassMOfoe GAmen27 my toaster can run roblox so why the heck do you even ask for roblox
you can run that crap with GTX 730M on high jesus why wuld you ask that much price
Guys he's joking
Great video Matt, been trying to do a VERY similar build for a video but I haven't found a good enough OEM deal yet.

And it’s not funny
Got my sub and like. Very informative and when you didn't have the info, you linked to someone else who did. Great job.
Good analysis! I just got one of these sff (i5 version) today but was missing ram and storage. Just needed info on upgrading and this video really helped!
I'm using that gpu with my old i3-540 and 8gb of ram and it works very well. Was not expecting this myself.
Lizzie Can you play games like csgo and high graphic games
RedRagingBeast i also have a gt 1030 using a i3 540 with 8GB ram and i can play watchdogs with high setting running at 78fps max, 56fps min. GTA 4 at 100fps ultra setting
Robert McDermott
What!😨😨😨
i don't think so
Yeah i was shocked myself, i just got GTA 5 and it runs just over 60fps on high settings. If you dont beleave me check out my youtube channel Lifeisnow101

Oh thats nice
In my country (Brazil) only the gpu (in local currency R$) costs the price of the complete pc converted into dollars for reais (R$).
Sad.
Sorry bad english, using google translate.
google translate did a bad job

you dudes at brazil have ROBUX as money? wtf
Tudo bem, desculpe o Português ruim.
Thanks for such a clear explanation of an Optiplex upgrade It has been extremely helpful.
THANK YOU SO MUCH I REALLY NEEDED THIS VIDEO!!!
I'm building a budget gaming pc and Would this video helped alot.
Perfect timing for this video, I was just thinking about buying a GT 1030 for my Dell Optiplex 775 which I managed to pick it up for around $30 and I'm supplying it with 8GB of RAM and a Q6600 in a few days, adding a GT 1030 would make this a capable machine.
Grab a gtx 560ti if you can power it as it's better performance for half the price
I have a Pentium G2010 and 4GB of DDR3, how would this, paired with the GT1030 run BF3 and TF2?
MrSpecialR Not sure about bf3 but TF2 could run on a potato lel.
+MrSpecialR I had an Optiplex 775 laying around a few weeks ago and I had a 1050 laying around also, so I decided to try it out. The OEM mobo had no problem supplying the 75 Watts required by the card. I ran Unigine Heaven benchmark with no issues at all. Definitely go for the 1050 rather than the 1030. It's at most $30 more but is well worth it.
All I had to do to make the 1050 fit was take some snips and cut off a small piece of the CPU plastic shroud in the corner, where it would collide with the card otherwise.
Which form factor was the machine?
I just added the RAM and noticed that the PCI-e slot on my SFF is limited to 25W which is even less than the GT 1030's rated 30 watts.
I have the same Optiplex 790 SFF with i5 2400. Installed a Gigabyte 1050Ti 4GB low profile, 8GB DDR3, Crucial MX300 525GB and 1TB WD blue.
Ran furmark and prime95 for few hours. No issues ;)
Great, instructive video - many thanks, Tech By Matt.
On of the most informative videos on sff graphics cards compatibility around!!!!
I have a dell optiplex 790 sff and plan on adding a gt 1030, Will the gigabyte geforce gt 1030 passively cooled fit in the computer?
(Yes i understand forking another 20-30 dollars for active cooled is much better for temps)
6:04 " I was surprised how well it run" 😂
that's pretty good for 115 dollars
very informative. thanks for the effort showing the power of GT 1030 + cheap pc.
Thanks Matt for very informative and helpful video
I got a similar system on Ebay but for $70. Granted, it came with a more powerful i5-2400, 8GB RAM, and 250GB HDD already installed, but putting in a GT 1030 really turned this machine into a little gaming beast.
Victor Panait how much did you pay for the gt 1030
what ebay user for the PC if you can? i need one too
Man you should of got the gtx1050 ti low profile now thats beast
Tempor Rage I paid $105 Canadian dollars
Andrew Simpson that’s gonna be my next upgrade
What's funny is that I thought the 1030 would suck, however, upon seeing these numbers I decided to search out a comparison between the 1030 and my card. Turns out the 1030 would be an upgrade. It also turns out that pairing an i7 4970 with an r7 360 was a bad idea.
This video is very insightful, I was on the bench about buying a 1030 for my pc since I was worried it won’t keep up with games such as fallout 4, overwatch and battlefield 4, but knowing I have 16gigs of ram and now seeing this, all my fears have been resolved, great video and will definitely buy this gpu
I did a build extremely similar to this! 🤘 the mini dells are limiting but it’s cool to see one pump out games like it was never designed to 🤣
this is actually 200 $ cheaper than a console xd
sweet i am an amd fan but i appreciate some good competition because it means amd will have to step up their game
my rig,
gpu: r9 270x
cpu: atthlon x4 860k
ram 8gb
psu evga 500w
for over watch it is great
The krazi empire KRAZI You're gonna have to upgrade that CPU pretty soon.
na mate For the games that i play (esport/old triple a games) its fine and i have no intentions of upgrading any time soon
hey im a stock fan
The krazi empire KRAZI i have a i3 6100 & 2gb r9 270x i luv my card
Awesome video Matt!
Thanks for video, I actually am using the i5vpro CPU variety of this sff desktop with 16 ram of same exact build. This proof of concept was just what I needed to encourage a buy. Also for those who are curious on how it runs before the change, it currently uses a intel(r) hd graphics 4600 which places fps for gta v to a range of 14 to 30 fps. Still weak to some if not able to change out card yet, but entry level wise I would highly recommend, especially with 1030.
You should do a video on a $800 used PC (Crossfire/Sli and maybe dual Xeons).
Probbaly a server would be his best bet. If you can get a server with dual Xeons and a lot of ram for about $200, as long as the server has the power connectors for the cards, put two high-end used cards in it (once the prices come back down, please miners settle down a little!), link them in SLI and there you go. The reason these machines are so cheap is because they are used for VMWare EXSi, and for some reason there simply isn't enough cpu power to keep the VM's happy, or they are just getting too old, so the corps put them up for sale. I have a DL120 G7 in a closet with dual E5540's in it and a 1060 and it happily runs most games on the 'high' (NOT ULTRA) preset, which got for $50 on Ebay. After of course I did a jank-wagon HDD-tray to PCI-e 6 pin hack, then that literally caught on fire so I just bought one for $6.
His video not gonna cover the budged..
Which GTX 1050 would work with this? Amazon link would be appreciated...
GTX 1050 need at least 75W Stable supply, it greatly depends on your PSU and board VRM.
Truly a niche creation no one does the budget build like Matt does.
HELL YEAH! i got a dell optiplex with a core i5 3570 and 12 gb ram. so far when researching how much i could use it for gaming, everyone else's optiplex was always a bit better, either with an i7 or extra ram, i was pretty sure my setup would suck for gaming, but now knowing that u got a playable experience with a 2nd gen i3, im hyped!
GT1030 stomps a GTX750ti XD
Just being that character who lives under a bridge XD
That profile pic is a great troll move. I was swiping at it thinking it was a hair on my phone.
Why would there be a hair randomly on my AOC G2460PF?
James Heu lol same
No not reallt
Tech By Matt can you try this pc with a better gpu like the 1050
Nope, that Dell only supports a 35W PCIe card. Which is why I'm running an GT 1030 in mine as an HTPC.
Very Funny why 75w pcie card don't work?
Wan HL Watch the video. He links NOAB.
I have a Optiplex 990 SFF (same case and similar specs to this PC, although different motherboard and chipset) and have no problems with my Gigabyte GTX1050ti on just PCI-e power.
I have an i5 though with 16GB RAM and an SSD, so a much better suited system to a more powerful card such as the 1050ti.
You'll start to see diminishing returns with a card faster than a 1030 with only a Sandy Bridge i3.
Not according to Dell. Page 19 of the technical guidebook.
This is how I built a sim racing rig using my old Acer Veriton X4618G small form factor after I upgraded. When I bought this computer it was pretty well up there in spec, with a 2nd gen i7 processor, 8GB and 500GB drive. I started off just adding a PNY GT1030 2GB. It was the only card that would fit in the bottom of the Veriton. Even minimal as the footprint of this card is, it barely had 1/8 inch of clearance at the bottom of the case. It did run my Assetto Corsa just fine with setting at 2/3 to 3/4 max. I was getting frame rates of 55-60. The problem was heat. My GPU was maxing out at 83C and the card would throttle down during max load. Even though it worked fine I decided to get a new case, and while I was at it I bought a lightly used Samsung 850 Pro 256GB SSD to use as my boot drive. Much better. Running faster and does not sound like a tornado in the box while driving the Nurburgring Nordschliefe. I highly recommend this path if you have a old computer like this but if it is a small form factor you should upgrade the case. It will give you the added benefit of a better power supply as well. At the time I upgraded Corsair had a $20 rebate on its VS450 power supply which was selling for $35. I will be able to upgrade this box easily if I so choose in the future.
you just answered all of my questions about putting a gt 1030 into an old dell thats collecting dust. thank you
Hey would my PC get about 60fps its the same model but with a i5 3470 3.2ghz on Rocket League? thanks for the video it rellay helped
Lonely Caption yes
i5 is good even if its a 3rd gen
Get the gtx 1050 ti and then overclock your i5
Jerky blocksage he cant overclock that i5
Maybe increase turbo speed but thats all
3470 is locked.
I have same specs but with i5 2nd gen. will my cpu give higher frames?
thanks
Awesome. I got three Optiplex 755's from work for free, and I put a GT730 in one and it's my main gaming rig now. I just purchased 8 gigs of RAM for it (the max the board can deal with) but now you have me wanting a gt1030. Thanks, bro. :)
...Thanks Matt for the video,now i decided to get this GT1030 to add in my 4yrs old PC.
Fucking USA... 36$ for that? I bought an Optiplex 755 from the UK with a 320GB HDD, 4GB DDR2 667Mhz RAM, and a Core2Duo e6850 for 50£ (which is like 70€) plus 15£(20/25€) shipping that brought me to around 90€. Ffs.
Your average comment - not everage at all, you're making progress!
Your average comment - Aw gross UK?
I bought it from Ebay UK because I'm from Portugal, it was so expensive compared to what people can get in the USA.
Never buy pre built pcs online from another country the shipping costs really aren't worth it. 60 euros for a system like this wouldn't be that much of a waste and even if this guy got it for 40 you have to realize that making videos is his job so he probably checks ads all of the time to find the best deals provided he even says the truth about the price.

Love my OptiPlex 990 SFF. Intel Core i5-2500S + low-profile Zotac GTX 1050 Ti, with a 4 TB HD providing ample storage for my smaller SSD boot disk. I’ve also got it dual-booting to macOS in addition to Windows 10, so yeah, I’m pretty happy with it. This is a solid computer that I’d recommend to anyone who wants a compact and relatively powerful build.
YES, finally found a video about a small case and weak PSU prebuilt PC to gaming PC. My PC is also a Dell Optiplex 790 SFF but with 8gb ram and core i5.
I have an old, small form factor OEM with a Pentium G630, 4GB memory, and a 1TB 5400rpm hard drive. The main limiting factor for a GPU is the crappy 220w PSU. Would I be able to use a GT 1030 with it anyway? Also, is it a good choice with the G630, or would it be bottlenecked? Thanks in advance
The GT1030 is ideal for the system you've got. I'm running a GT 1030 in an Acer OEM machine with a 220w PSU like yours, as well as similar other specs, and I've had no issues with power requirements. Something like an RX460 or GTX 1050, while much better in terms of price to performance, is simply too risky to use on such low wattage.
The CPU will be a slight bottleneck, but providing you stick to e-sports , any dual core CPU is fine and you'll reach 60FPS on a mixture of higher and medium settings. Happy gaming my friend :)
Great, thanks! Also, do you know of any budget 1080p gaming monitors? I have 2 monitors, 1280x1024 and 1440x900. Neither of them is even 16:9, so I'm looking for a new one.
I'm happy i could help!
I'm not an expert on monitors, so take my advice with a pinch of salt. However, by 'budget' I assume you mean below £/$150. For a budget display, g-sync and freesync are out of the question, and IPS technology, from what I've seen personally is not essential, and the difference between that and normal displays is only noticeable in situations which aren't typical of everyday gaming.
You're looking at a 24 or 21.5 inch panel, both running full 1080p, in that sort of price range, depending on the features you want (such as response time, refresh rate and which ports it comes with. Lower response times are better, higher refresh rates are better, and ports aren't usually an issue, depending on what cables you have spare.) I personally use a 24 inch monitor by Acer, and I find its just the right size, as 27 inch screens start to get too big and mean I'm not able to see the entire screen in my field of view (not ideal when gaming).
For the best entry-level/budget monitor, I'd say this monitor by Asus has to be the ideal choice (www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-VS248HR-Gaming-Monitor-DVI-D/dp/B014RKZ81O/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1499547459&sr=1-3&keywords=acer+24+inch+monitor) It's the bestseller in monitors, so is probably justified in its 4.5 star reviews. Wait around for Amazon prime day (11th july) and this monitor may even be reduced.
Final point on speakers; this monitor won't come with any, and it varies from monitor to monitor at this price point as to if they've got integrated speakers or not. However, since you're looking to game, I'm guessing you already have some headphones or a USB headset, which can both run through your desktop tower, so integrated speakers shouldn't be an issue for you.
I think I may have that system (25 of them actually) , I only use them for mining with a gtx 1050ti. (25 of them) If the PCI-E slot supports a 75w card then You can use a gtx 1050ti. I've actually overclocked them 100 on the core and 200 on the memory and lowered the power limit to 80% with MSI afterburner. I ran a bunch of benchmarks on the 1st one I set up, furmark, 3d mark vantage, Wprime and they all ran stable. No problems on any of them yet. They run 24/7.
Even with the 220w PSU? Seems a bit too much. Besides, I usually only play older titles, like NFSMW, GTAVC, and others around that time period, so I probably don't need anything more than a 1030.
10:5 we have those computers in school amd they are blyat
thanks for this video now i know what graphics card i am gonna put in my old hp with i3 second generation hd5450
Your a genius I restored that computer today I and I want to upgrade it to make it a gaming pc and this is perfect

i have a question how did you use a windows 7 key for windows 10
you can install windows 10 and activate it with a win 7 or win 8 key :)
Wow thank man
Can even use the embedded Windows 8/8.1 UEFI keys if your system has one too.
Install Windows 7 first then upgrade it to Windows 10 :-)
Awesome built !!
thanks man, just picked up an old dell system with 8gb ddr3 ram, a 500gb ssd i7 for $180! no factory vid card, but got one for $120 (Canadian) and shes on her way! thanks for the help
That’s a decent value build.
So can we play demanding titles at low settings with 30+ FPS,?
Sahil Mambilly you can play aaa games at 768p or 900p for more than 30 FPS.
ankur tripathi I bought the Witcher 3. And I play it at medium settings 1280×1024 smoothly
Sahil Mambilly what are your other specs? Like processor,ram etc.
ankur tripathi i5 2nd Gen, 4 GB RAM, 1TB Hard-disk. That's it.
@@Skulltroxx You need 8GB of RAM for smoother gameplay experience.
I am playing PUBG on Optiplex790 SFF(i7-2600,8GBram,GTX1050Ti,240GB SSD)。
How many fps?
who cares...
about 30~60fps (middle settings)
Do you use the original PSU? Dont you have any overload issue with i7 and 1050? thanks
The GT1030 and an older Dell pre-built is what I'm using for emulation nowadays. Redream runs fine on the machine saving me the hassle of having to connect my Dreamcast.
That's what I did with this Dell I bought off someone! I took it, stuck 8gb ram in it, found a GTX 950 for 60 bucks, and stuck a Xeon X5660 in there and now it's pretty beast for cheap! :D
Can i get 30 fps in GTA 5 on this pc ?
Mehmet Adnanoglu even more
Without the gpu, then no
Mehmet Adnanoglu in 720p at lowest settings
Easily
Mehmet Adnanoglu did u even watch video?
Sometimes I think my gtx 1060 6gb and ryzen 5 1600 kind of sucks. And those parts aren't even expensive in 2019.
Then I watch videos where real budget people use gt 1030 and gtx 1050.
Thanks for the advice, i was thinking of buying one for a dell optiplex 780 and im pretty sure i should
I get most of my computers and parts at the local dump for free, depending on the place they may ask you to remove the hard drive before taking it for "security" but most local transfer stations get these older desktops regularly and have to sign contracts with recycling companies that can take such things and dispose of them properly so most guys that work there are happy to let you pick through whatever you want before the put it away.
Lol average of mid 40 fps... This looks more like 15🤣🤣🤣 @ 6:10
it's because recording, if he's not recording then he'll get 40 fps
The poor as dirt man's card
nah, that's more like the GT 210
That's the hd 6450
I did this same build a few weeks ago and it works great. (I also upgraded ram)
How much ram can the 790 take and I am not getting any video when putting This card in just black screen
My system is similar... it's a dell 3050 with a gt1030 and 16gb ram. Works very well and would recommend it for a budget gaming PC.
the i3 2100 might be bottlenecking the gt 1030 a little bit...
WTF !!! there is no bottlenecking with gt1030 and i3 ...look at the cpu usage (Under 90%) while the gpu must be 100% usage (sorry for my bad english)
XD hell the fuck no it isn't the i3 2100 is running awesome with a GTX 960 in my friends rig with no bottleneck and i used to run an i3 2120 which is just a slightly higher clocked version with a GTX 780 and it was fine in most games unless it was a game that was cpu dependent and barely used the gpu, an example of that would be heavily modded minecraft.
TheWarheadTornado u talk crap
You obviously have no knowledge in tech..
Not at all, doesn't even bottleneck a RX 460. You could utilize a 1050ti in many games with i3 2100/2120.
you know there is gtx 1050ti in that model and same form factor
But it's not 35w is it.
I think 75w is enough for that
Sometimes old oem motherboard like the one in the video, while saying they can supply 75 watts only supply around 50-55 watts in some cases. Where as the gt 1030 only requires 35 watts making it a good GPU for all oem computers. If you can get 75 watts out of your pci-e slot I would go with a gtx 1050ti though.
It's still twice as much. I want to build a system like this an save up for a i7 and a 1070 later down the line.
Yeah, but it's £150.
The Dell optiplex line is great for that sort of stuff
I have that exact same pc right now and i was about too sell it off for as much as i could since i got it for free and try build a new one but this works good thank you

Lol so you were the other one watching those auctions. I bought one of those too for a friend. I paired one with a gt 730 2gb gddr5 and they are really happy with it. they can play skyrim anniversary edition on it just fine.
I picked up an old HP Z200 Workstation at a goodwill for 40 bucks. It had no HDD or RAM for the matter... but this video gives me hope that it can become a surprisingly capable system.

Deus Vult DEUS VULT
Right Side BY THE POPE WE WILL RETAKE THE HOLY LAND!!!!! DEUS VULT!!!
DEUS VULT MY FRIENDS. Btw @Right Side I am just little bit up on the political compassion.
LTT did a review on one of these a little while back. this kind of brought out some questions that LTT didnt factor in. like buying a pc like this and the limitations of both the motherboard and PSU. neat little video. and gives me a slightly different perspective on that gpu
:D Thanks for watching!
EXCELLENT BUILD, you know your shet. gj
Thank you from the future. Right down to the nitty-gritty.
I was so confused thanks man u solved me👍
Good video it would have been nice if you did a test on 768 and 720 especially gta5, tombraider games etc.
I need this video! I was lagging even in minecraft!
790 sff with A22 bios version supports sandy bridge xeon cpus. I put an 1260L and it works fine (4 cores / 8 threads and only 45 watt tdp).
I have on my desk right now a Dell Vostro 260s with i3-2120 running a GTX 1050 low profile without any problem. On Amazon UK, at least, the MSI low profile 1050 is 100pounds.
I also have a Dell Optiplex 790. But its the i5 2400 variant with 4GB of ram. It came with a 250GB 2.5" hard drive.
Just been doing this as work were scrapping a load of old PCs so decided to take an old HP and put some other spare parts in it. i5 2500, 16GB RAM and a 240GB SSD (and 2 spare 500GB drives for storage). Did a bit of research and had no idea what I wanted for Christmas anyway so asked my girlfriend to order me one of these GT1030s. Apparently they overclock really well too. It's nothing amazingly special but a basic small form factor gaming PC for basically no money is not to be sniffed at. Upgrading to legit Windows 10 using the key on the side of the case is a bonus too!
I put the 1030 in mine and it seems to work pretty well, but I swapped the base unit out for another one I found in the pile that had an i5 3570 and USB 3 ports on the mobo. It's alright, runs Dark Souls 3 pretty good at 900p. Overclocking's not worth it with the passive card, maybe a slight overclock you can get away with. I bought a GTX1050ti this week though so when that arrives gonna put it in there. The 2500 is on my desk at work as a Win10 test machine so might throw the 1030 in there for some lunchtime gaming action.
Came across this video searching for options for a 990 optiplex (i7 2600) but the PSU is only 225 watts. Card options?
anything more recent that will work?
Nice video Matt and thanks for the Info --- Also First 65 or Older -- Also the Best Buy trade in is real
Thanks for watching and I saw your video about the trade ins, thank for sharing!
No problem U guys are the ones who keep me up to date Thanks
I'm glad that 3 years later you might find both of these for under 100 total
I have this PC slightly different I 5 processor 6 gigs ram 320 gig hard drive with win 10 pro runs really great I can run war thunder with the stock in board graphics but at the lowest settings so I can't wait to see how awesome it does with this graphics card thanks a lot !
I have one of those in my room, but I put a GTX 750 ti in a Lenovo i5 4440s with a PSU very small, works good.
Been upgrading OEM systems since 1999! K6-2 450MHz/Voodoo 3 3000 16MB (PCI, no AGP port on retail Best Buy system back then!)
This build was insane for me I got a prebuilt system with i5 2400 8gb ram 500 hdd for 74 dollars and added in a gt1030 most games run 60 fps at medium to high settings for esports titles and medium to low on heavyier titles such as gtav
We picked up a Dell workstation with an SSD and i-7 3770 for 400 on New Egg for 400 bucks and dropped a 1030 in in. Super satisfied.
i had the same pc, but the thing was where my dad worked he was just able to just take one and give it to me because i think the were getting better ones
i had this with a dell optiplex 790 but put a 2b hard drive a wd blue 500gb and a gtx 1650 and its amazing how good it is for the price
Hi bro kindly reply,I have got the optiplex 790 co i7 with a 8 gig memory and I need to maximize its power for video editing, would you suggest the gt1030 or the GTX 1050i low profile?
I've thought about getting one of these old systems that have the much better i5-3470 cpu, but these proprietary restrictions just absolutely kill it for me. I'd almost rather get a a cheap 1155 socket motherboard or one in micro atx if the case is small form factor. I'm really after those awesome little 3rd Gen i5s that are often expensive even used.
gave you the sub because i literaly have a opti 3010 that im bout to put a gt1030 in. could you do a quick test of fortnite and let us know the fps. if not thats okay loved the vid bro keep it up
I got an optiplex 9010 for free, found not working because it was dropped and just the ram popped out. I slapped in a gt 1030 passive cooled and I can run fortnite at high settings with ~50 fps
That freaked me out a bit that super perfect tight fit !!hahahaha
I love the GT1030 OC 2G DDR5 Gigabyte card I got WOW!!
ALOT OF PUNCH for this little guy..
I play mostly 1366x768 and it just fly's and lower and mostly really old games from over 10 to 15 years ago so this card kinda beats out high end cards of those days!
I put a gt 1030 low profile 2gb in a dell otiplex 7010 and it was working fine at first but then stopped it kept turning on and off when I took out the graphics card and tried it again it didn't work could someone help me
I have this same PC, GTX 1050 runs just fine in it. Paired it with an i5 2400 and its a great little gamer. That CPU blower fan noise tho....GD...
