"Most"?  Technically yes, but our ideas of what constitutes "most" might differ if you have a specific subset of things in mind that you particularly like.  It will struggle with modern AAAs, even on low settings.  And on the topic of settings, even the things it will run will have to be turned down unless they're several years old.

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

The GT 1030 is basically a 750 TI, so can it run games at 1080p? Yes, it can run most if not all 1080p games. How well it can run depends on the game.

It's basically a 750 ti, and I have one of those.

 

XCOM 2: High settings, 60fps in most circumstances

GTA V: Pretty easy to run IMO. No issues with medium settings.

Battlefield 1: Again, Medium/High settings doesn't have too much issues.

Skyrim w/ a lot of texture mods: 60fps.

 

This gives a general idea, but I haven't tested it on Ghost Recon or Far Cry and several other titles.

not worth it, get a used 970, 960 or 950. 

Keep in mind that the OP has a 240w PSU.

There's many other considerations to consider. Does the PSU actually output 240 watts? Can it handle a heavy load for prolonged periods of time? Just because it has the wattage doesn't mean it's capable.

It's a few frames behind, but not by much.

Not that 240 is particularly high to begin with... and being such a low wattage makes me think it might be a cheap firebomb that can't even output what it claims

Typically, OEM PCs don't have atrocious PSUs. Just "good enough" ones. A low wattage card like the GT 1030 would be very suitable for something like this. It's probably the reason why the GT 1030 is a thing.

The GT 1030 is probably the best card you can get considering the wattage of your PSU. The GT 1030 would run rocket leage, easily run minecraft even with texture packs, and crush Roblox.

The thing you need to worry about is will the bios and board allow you to run a newer card. Some OEM boards will not run cards newer than a 700 series GeForce. If you can find examples of your PC model running a 900 or 1000 series GeForce then you will be good.
