Slower than many of the latest iGPUs

So - not much point, even if the PSU  would support it.

If you are going to get a graphics card, pick up a $40-50 psu first. gt 1030 is not really worth it

The difference is there actually, but imo better to save money for a better card.

Ignore the other people, if you can find a 1030 for ~$50 it's a solid upgrade. It should be fine in your PC.

Current scarcity makes this a luck based game, also those are old and have proprietary PSUs, not worth upgrading unless is dead.

Yes, I have a few Optiplex (750, 760, etc) it'll work.

You could get a pci-e riser cable with separate power input through a molex connector.  This way, the motherboard doesn't have to provide any power, it will think the video card consumes under 1 watt and will be happy.

 

Example :

pci-e x4  to pci-e x16 with separate power : https://www.amazon.com/Express-Cable-Extender-Converter-Adapter/dp/B0836S3B4J/

pci-e x16 to pci-e x16 with separate power : https://www.amazon.com/Occus-PCI-Express-Flexible-Extender/dp/B089T8M9WZ/

 

Probably better prices on eBay, but slower shipping.

 

GT 1030 has really horrible performance for the money, it's not worth it.

Find something with 3-4 GB VRAM and reasonable price.

But the prices in my country is different from your country so the 3 or 4 vram is gonna be at least 300$
