There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
[I hope this doesn't get deleted by review process, this took a while to write..]
These instructions presume you have at least a basic ad blocker, otherwise you may need to sieve through results to find the correct page, but since these are well known and long lived search targets they should be immediately after any links labeled "paid for" or whatever; I don't even recall what they're labeled, haven't seen ads in years.
THIS FIRST STEP IS UNESSESARY, but, I strongly recommend it; if you don't have 7zip (the ideal option) or a similar program, search 7ZIP DOWNLOAD first. 7zip is free under the GNU/GPL license schema and is a legal, legit and well known alternative to pay for options. 7 hyphen zip dot org is their official home. Any website trying to bundle it with something else or sell it is a scam. Most likely you will want the 64 hyphen bit x64 Windows installer. Assuming you did not have it already, or an alternative, after downloading it, select go to/open download location. Install it, if you get the UAC prompts okay/pass/ignore them. (I personally disabled all those annoying things, after over twenty years of building and fixing PCs I've found far less disruptive ways to protect myself with out MS help)
Now, whether or not you chose to get 7zip:
Go to your search engine and enter "nvidia drivers download"
the desired result will literally be named "NVIDIA Driver Downloads".
Follow link; you will presented with a list of pull down box options for product type, series, OS, etc.
Go past this and select "Beta and Older Drivers" The main difference in results will be you will receive a list.
Select product type "Geforce" Series "Geforce 10 series" Product "GT 1030" Operating System (select OS, if you don't know what it is and don't know how to determine what it is you will have to search for how determine that separately, but nvidia's driver download page usually autodetects your OS). Driver type: "DCH" (long story why it has to be DCH, if you want to know you'll have to do research; the reasons aren't relevant here). Recommended/Beta: select "Recommended/Certified"
Click search. Click the first result then click download if it doesn't auto download. Once it's done downloading, depending on your browser, select the pulldown next to complete or the downloads list and select GO TO/OPEN DOWNLOAD LOCATION. Do not open the package directly from the browser!
Once the folder the package went to shows CLOSE THE BROWSER and any other unessential programs.
IF you installed 7zip (or have an alternative) right click the installer (named something like "VERSION NUM desktop win10 win11 64bit international dch whql") 7zip should be in the list, which will expand to a number of options. One will say Extract to "VERSION NUM desktop win10 win11 64bit international dch whql". Select that, and it will extract the contents of the installer to a folder with the same name as the file. If you didn't get 7zip or don't have an alternative this is not a necessary step, it just saves time in the long run, because the installer won't be creating extraction directories which are annoying to find and eliminate after installation.
So if you just run the installer package it will create a "temp" directory it won't delete afterward, but the extract first method bypasses the temp folder creation step, and makes post install cleanup easier since you know where the installation folder is, the same place the install package was downloaded to. So if you went 7zip extract first method, go in to the folder the same name as the download and run setup. You'll get more UAC nags to ignore. If you went installation package route, it'll probably throw a UAC nag for extracting the files and a second for starting the setup.
After this, it will do a compatibility check, then give two options: NVidia Graphics Drive and NVidia experience or just NVidia graphics driver. SELECT NVIDIA GRAPHICS DRIVER (no NVidia experience). Then Express or Custom. Select CUSTOM. In the list only Graphics Driver, HD Audio driver and PhysX Software should be selected. If you're only installing drivers for the first time, under current version should be all None. If you previously installed drivers, or windows update auto installed drivers, the list might already be populated, and the one you DON't want "NV GF Experience" will probably be populated too. In this case you're going to want to back out and look up how to disable windows update installing drivers. Then you're going to want to go to "Programs and Features" and specifically uninstall Nvidia Gefore Experience (the four components are installed discreetly). This may require a reboot. Then you can go back to setup, follow the same selections, and NV GF Experience should read "none" and you can install/update the latest drivers sans GFE. This will eliminate any nags to create an nvidia account.
If you rely on Windows Update for other driver updates, I would advise checking for and installing nvidia updates as described above before enabling driver updates via Win Update manually, and on a schedule of your choosing and convenience (once a month perhaps). Windows update won't supersede nvidia driver installation preferences, since as far as I am aware it will not download the windows update catalog version of the nvidia drivers unless it detects the primary driver (the graphics driver) is out of date.
I hope this helps anyone frustrated by nvidia drivers seeming to bother or beg for the creation of an nvidia account; that's Geforce Experience producing those nags, not the actual drivers, and NVGFE does not improve performance, it's yet another drag on system resources if the system is already on the weak side. But some people will argue vociferously the opposite is the case with no objective evidence. I've done the tests. I know for a fact it does add overhead. But the decision of its utility versus its performance cost is up to the end user.
I hope this helps some people out there, and I hope it isn't rejected by customer review control..
As for the product itself, it's not really as bad as my "stars" would suggest. It arrived in what appears to be brand new packaging. I can't find any evidence that the anti-static bag was ever opened before. I installed it in my aging Dell Inspiron 3700 (with an i5-8400, and 12GB of RAM) hooked it all up, turned it on, and after about 5 minutes of some installation process (at which time there WAS video) my screen automatically reverted to the display settings it had prior to the install, and it works just fine. I installed Nvidia GeForce and, after one more driver update it was over. The entire process was from start to finish was less than 20 minutes.
This was the first time I have ever installed a GPU, and I can only assume that that is EXACTLY how it is supposed to work. As for the value for money, NO GPU has a good value to money ratio. Crypto-miners and the pandemic have seen to that.
As for gaming, this just is NOT a card built to plays today's most advanced games. I got this card because PGA 2K21 can only track one profile at a time, so two people with two profiles need two copies of the game to track their stats in co-op. Now, my aging Dell could manage about 25 FPS in "potato mode," a number that made it unplayable. With this card, on low settings (one step up from potato mode), this card and the i5 deliver 90FPS steadily at 1080p quality.
The problem there, is that 2K21 is really "The Golf Club 3" with 2K's marketing slapped on the box. As such, the entire install from Steam was just 6.6GB. And as every modern gamer knows, the 5-15GB game file size was lost to any game above the 'indie" classification when the games went 4K. Which means that the game would have to still be in potato mode if 4K textures even existed in the files for processing.
The only other "modern" game I have on the Dell is Kerbal Space Program. And that, with low settings turned on, and the FPS locked to 80, this card and the i5 can get maintain a steady 60 in the assembly buildings and launchpad, and dropped into the 40 FPS range during the launches I tested. But that is normal. KSP can make even monster PC's cry for mercy if the user launches a big enough ship. The limitation there is far more CPU dependent than GPU dependent as the game tries to simulate physics, heat, and gravity calculations on hundreds of individual parts simultaneously.
As for video streaming, honestly, I don't see very much improvement over the streaming quality of just the i5, but there is no LESS quality to the streaming, and that's what matters. My monitor is a 32" 1440p, with a 144 Hz refresh rate.
I do, however, have a couple of issues with this card. On the product description page, there is clearly a picture of the various output I expected to find on this card. And if I remember right that picture had a display port, an HDMI port, a 24 pin DVI port, and a VGA port (I might be wrong about the VGA port). The card that arrived at my house, does NOT have either a VGA port or a display port. So, if your monitor has either of those, BUYER BEWARE!!! I was only ever going to use the HDMI port, so I'm not too fussed.
My bigger issue is the plastic shroud on the GPU itself. The card doesn't cover the same amount of area that the plastic shroud does, so I have several square inches of exposed plastic shroud inside my PC, acting as a "bowl" to catch any dust flying around. And while the Dell has a paper filter the covers the main air intake, and a sort of cone directing the CPU exhaust directly out into the room and that has kept the amount of dust inside my case to a minimum. But now there is the GPU fan sourcing air from an unfiltered area, and just exhausting the air inside the case. So, ALL bets are off as to how this plays out in the remaining life left in my aging Dell.
That is just BAD design all the way around. It uses more material than is strictly needed meaning the manufacturer is paying more than is strictly necessary for each card manufactured, and it CAN'T be good for the PC to have an actual dust catcher inside a machine that you work hard to keep dust free. And I can PROMISE the manufacturer, that if my aging Dell suddenly dies six weeks from now, I know EXACTLY who I will blame. I won't get a refund, but THEY won't get a return customer.
And for that reason, ultimately, I will give this GPU a 3-star rating with a serious "BUYER BEWARE" due to the misleading product photos, as well as the poorly designed fan shroud.
