[Abdur_Rehman69]

Hi, I have optiplex 760 specs Core 2 quad Q9400 8gb ram and r7 250 2gb. but I want to upgrade my card to gt 1030. I contacted shopkeeper he said that gt1030 will no work  on optiplex 760 because optiplex 760 is very old. But Gt 1030 requires only 30 Tdp where R7 250 requires 65 tdp if r7 250 work fine on my then what is wrong with gt 1030 please help

Lets bump this thread.

Yes, it should work, though you may very well lose some performance with such an old CPU.

The shop keeper might be reffering to the mther board for a core 2 due would be a PCIe gen 1 or 2 where the GT 1030 might be a PCIe Gen 3. A newer card should work in an old slot just lose some bandwidth the 1030 might not see any performance decrease if it's not maxing out the PCIe lanes.

But I want to buy gt 1030 please help me. Thanks in Advance

Make sure it is the GDDR5 variant. Its not the best peformance stock but if you overclock the ram on the GDDR5 variant it really does come to life. It is pascal based, modern and will run cool even when overclocked as its TDP is only 30 watts. The gt1030 gddr5 is really an underrated graphics cards in the age of the ryzen g series.
