For gaming, you're looking not looking at good performance. The 550 is your best bet because it performs much better than a 1030.

 

You can play games on low settings at 1080p or maybe high settings on 720p. You're not going to be playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider but you can play non GPU intensive games like many RTSs or maybe CSGO.

 

For applications, like photo editing, you're not looking at any performance upgrade that justifies spending the money.

Dear all, I looking to buy small GPU, usually I smallest I have scene in the market are GT 1030 OR RX 550. But as I was searching I came across GT 710/730. Does anyone know what application can these cards support? 

if you can stretch your budget, an RX 570 would be great buy

If by applications you mean games, the RX 550 is way better than the GT 710/730 and is a good choice. If you don't mind 30FPS and low graphics, it can handle new games like Assassin's Creed Oddysey I say buy it if you don't have the money for something better. If by applications you mean programs like Photoshop, then the 1030 might be a better choice.
