Zotac Gaming GeForce GT 1030 GDDR5 2GB 64bit PCIe 3.0 Graphics Card with 1468 Mhz Boost Clock, pci_e

GT 1030 is an affordable choice for multimedia/OTT HTPC. Supports HTCP 2.2, needed for 4k/8k playback. SUpports AVC/H264/H265/HEVC/VP9 hardware decoding at 4k/8k. VLC, SMPlayer/MPV and WMP/Media Player can decode 4k/8k HEVC/VP9 files/network streams easily at hardware level.I can easily stream 4k YouTube videos without any flickr or lags, in all major web browsers on Win10. Unfortunately, HEVC/VP9 4k hardware decoding is not working on Linux Browsers (Chrome/Firefox), these browsers don't yet support Nvidia's NVDEC library on Linux platform. Prime Video doesn't show full HD option on Linux browers.Linux's SMPlayer/MPV/VLC can play 4k/8k HEVC/VP9 smoothly using Nvidia's NVDEC hardware decoding.Web browsers run faster and crisper overall. With this card, Windows10/11 supports HDR desktop, HDR images and HDR video playback, if your monitor also supports HDR.However, Amazon Prime and Disney Hotstar don't support 4k, nor HDR on Windows/Linux PC (in browsers or Native Apps) at the time of this writing.Hotstar shows upto 1080p. Prime Video also plays at 1080p max (no HDR). Also, no OTT platform, except YouTube , streams 1440p (2k) resolution. Hopefully at least 4k support will be added to windows by these platforms, there is no fault on Nvidia's side, their card is perfectly capable of 4k/8k and HDR content and HEVC/VP9 hardware decode.Note that AV1 hardware decode is not supported.

I have a 10 year old pc, wanted to game during lockdown, tried gt 710 and 730 both were good. And i wanted a slight upgrade even though it's not for anyone with newer PC s , if you have old potato pc, hoping i3 2nd generation or phenom ii and so on, or even lower or little higher,This one works magic.Also it's best if you have a 4x2 gb ram and not too old processor, otherwise you're very much bottle necked and has some plenty fps losses.

I bought this card for 6.5k. There are better cards like 1050 or 1050 ti or newer cards like the 1650. But this was half the price with 75% performance compared to those cards. I would recommend you go for this card if1. your psu is 200W-300W because this uses very less power.2. It is also low profile that means it will fit in most cases.3. If you have an old prebuild you can buy this for gaming.4. Lastly if your monitor resolution is 1080p or less you can play games released upto 2013 on high, upto 2016 on medium and games after 2016 on low to medium settings for a consistent 60 fps.Benchmarks with i3 3220 and 8GB ram on 900p resolution.1. CSGO - 120 fps2. NFS Most Wanted and Rivals work on highest settings3. Shadow of the Tomb Raider - 30 fps on normal textures, TAA anti-aliasing, all other settings on ultra. (The game is smooth on 30 fps as it's not a First Person Shooter game)4. Metro Last Light Redux - 60 fps on medium settings5. GTA V - 60 fps on medium to high settings.6. Pubg Mobile on tencent - 90 fps on low settings, no lag.This is the best if this is your first gpu and you have a tight budjet.

Totally Worth My Money , It's Performance Is Great , I'm Using Fire-Storm & MSI-Afterburner For GPU Boost And It's Best For 1080P Gaming & With GeForce-Experience You Can Easily Optimize Supported Games !I Tested The Following GamesPUBG LITE - 1080P [ ULTRA ]COD:MODERN WARFARE II - 1080P [ ULTRA ]SPLINTER CELL:BLACKLIST - 1080P [ VERY HIGH ]GTA V - 1080P [ VERY HIGH ]NFS:MW-BLACK EDITION(2005) - MAX 960P [ ULTRA]NFS:MW-LIMITED EDITION (2012) - 1080P [ ULTRA ]PROTOTYPE - MAX 960P [ ULTRA ]PROTOTYPE 2 - 1080P [ ULTRA ]FORZA HORIZON 3 - 1080P [ VERY HIGH ]FORZA HORIZON 4 - 1080P [ VERY HIGH ]Hope It'll Help 🙂 !Don't Forget That It's An Low-Profile GPU
