Posted April 2, 2021 With a GT1030 you wont be able to play R6 seige as its not really a graphics card more of a display adapter with no real gaming potential. you'd be lucky to run minecraft at 720p and get 30fps depending on settings. the rest of the setup would be good if you had a better gpu, but with how the world is right now it will be hard to find anything in your budget even on the 2nd hand market. When a man lies he murders some part of the world These are the pale deaths Which men miscall their lives All this I cannot bear to witness any longer Cannot the kingdom of salvation Take me home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can easily get 30 FPS on Minecraft 720P with a 1030. I used to have one. If you want to play 720P Minecraft the 1030 will smoke it. Even 1080P you should get an easy 60FPS. I could with an i5 2400 so they EASILY could with a 10100 Obviously its still not a great value card and used you could do better, but you seem to vastly underestimate its minecraft performance Big nerd.

That's bs it can get 200 FPS at 1080p I'm Minecraft and you'll manage to run rainbow six siege at 1280x1024 or lower at about 40 FPS. I know because I clocked 100 hours with a GT 1030 on R6s and that was the ddr4 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
