Basically, my graphics card broke right as quarantine hit and now i have been looking for graphics cards. I found this Gigabyte GTX 1030 2GB Low Profile GDDR5 for about 142 Euros (160 USD) and i dont really know if it's worth getting. Can you guys give me your suggestions?

It's main selling point is it is very low power consumption. On the flip side, it is very low gaming performance. Like APU levels. If gaming is at all a consideration for it, then you probably want to be looking higher up.

Main system: i9-7980XE, Asus X299 TUF mark 2, Noctua D15, Corsair Vengeance Pro 3200 3x 16GB 2R, RTX 3070, NZXT E850, GameMax Abyss, Samsung 980 Pro 2TB, Acer Predator XB241YU 24" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync + HP LP2475w 24" 1200p 60Hz wide gamut
Gaming laptop: Lenovo Legion 5, 5800H, RTX 3070, Kingston DDR4 3200C22 2x16GB 2Rx8, Kingston Fury Renegade 1TB + Crucial P1 1TB SSD, 165 Hz IPS 1080p G-Sync Compatible

I gave away my used 1070 to a friend for 150€ and I still felt like I was ripping him off (he wanted to pay me).

 

Honestly I would upgrade to a ryzen 5000 with integrated graphics. At least this upgrade would be one GPU away from a sick gaming pc, rather than just having old overpriced e-waste to dispose of.

My System: i7-13700F // Asus TUF 3080 10GB
