NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030

I looked for a budget low profile gpu to put in a dell optiplex for light gaming. I just want to know if it can do 1080p mid specs on this.

You should not buy a gt 1030 and instead get a gtx 1050 ti or a 1650 because it's a way better investment. those cards are a lot faster and will do amazing in the games you are playing. and the gt 1030 is mostly the same price. also other good options are the rx6400, rtx4060, or the arc a380.

No. Even the DDR5 version only capable of 720p low-mid in GTA5 for 60fps and the one you buying is DDR4 which is a lot slower.

Doesn't matter unless you're using high end gaming monitor then DP is probably better.

Try find a 2nd hand GTX1650 instead. 

 

RX6400 only have 4x PCIE lane, since your CPU is PCIE3.0 only, you might lose some performance in some games.

Get a 1650, or a 4060 like what xAcid9 said. I would say a 4060 for raytracing support if you wanna play the new doom game or Indiana jones

GT 1030 isn't fit for any modern games even at 10080p.
