I currently have a EVGA Nvidia Geforce GTS250 512 MB, and I'm wondering if it would be worth upgrading it to a Nvidia GeForce GT 1030 OC 2G (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07646VQ6T/?coliid=I4WMFPZGKL3NQ&colid=196APJR1WRGPP&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it). I know it's not a powerful GPU, but would it be a noticeable upgrade? Also, would it be compatible with an Asus P5QL Pro ATX motherboard?

funnily enough, that cheapo GT 1030 will actually be bottlenecked by your CPU

 

also it's a huge upgrade compared to the GTS250

but i think you should get it either way, it will improve your desktop experience and gaming in general, even if its getting bottlenecked

I already know it would be a bottleneck, but I just need something cheap that works better than my current GPU.
