    Hi,

    Is there a suggested upgrade to 1030GT for the purpose of playing Hell Let Loose at 1920 x 1200 @ 60fps on medium/high settings? I'm getting 35 fps on low settings right now

    Do you mean upgrade from a GT 1030? GT1030s are junk for gaming of any kind, and not something to upgrade to.

    Yes. I want to upgrade from a 1030 GT. Any suggestions of a model to choose for a budget of 200e?

    There's just about nothing, as GPU prices and demand are still in a stupid state. If you go second hand, you could get a 1060 with 3GB of RAM. It's not amazing or cutting edge, but it's much faster than a 1030.

    There’s nothing available new at the moment and anything second hand is going be crazy prices. You’re best bet is probably a 1050ti it’ll run hell let loose at high settings and you should average around 60fps. It’ll cost you a lot more than €200 though.

    Thanks for the info. Would this suffice?

    That's a fake card.

    There's no VGA port on the 10 series cards. It's an older card with a faked BIOS.

    Try again in 6 to 8 months would be my advice.

    Use these lads in work and they had several 1050tis in stock in Dublin 8 for €199

    Mother father.


    I sold this precise card to a bit coin miner 5 years ago for 80 quid. Here it is up for sale for 170! For a 14 year old GPU using AGP which can't be on many mobos these days!

    I suspect that that's not a reflection of the current GPU market, but a result of the booming retro market.
