Should i Sell my gt1030 4gb ddr4 for a 1030 2gb gddr5

[Mario5]

Only thing is that the gt 1030 gddr5 2gb gets up to 75C. It has a passive heatsink, is that ok?

Yes that's fine. Stick with the 4gb model imo. But if you do sell it then try and find an rx 580 for the same price as the gt 1030 2gb gddr5

The seller of the gddr5 version isnt into tech and thinks the temps are too high so he is selling it for ~$20.

I would still stick with your gt 1030. But if you sell yours for about 30 bucks you can get this rx 580 which will be miles better MSI Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5 2480 Graphics Card (DVI single port) | eBay

sure why not, you'll probably get a profit tho I don't think a 1030 DDR4 is worth much either.

It's also a mining card with one of the worse coolers ever slapped onto an RX 580 (that's not a blower), risky.

Sell your 1030

Buy that gddr5 1030

Sell for 10$ ish profit

 

Use money to buy a used 570/580 as @filpo suggested cause that will trounce on a 1030 especially the 8gb versions, might even find a decent deal on a used 1060 or 5600/5700

Mining cards don’t normally lose much performance compared to their non mines on but used counterparts. Sure they’re probably dustier but that’s nothing a good clean can’t fix. Then again the model I posted wasn’t the best

Only in dreams would cleaning solve everything. Mining cards are cramped together running for long periods of time, all the components on them have at least 3x more use than a casual gamer's card over the same period of ownership. You're not going to restore all those capacitors, mosfets and fans into better condition by cleaning.

 

And you're pushing those risks onto someone who doesnt know how to handle the problems they can cause in the first place.
