Question 1

Will this fit in a Dell Optiplex 9020 SFF Case?

Accepted Answer

I have had success putting upgraded video card in an Opti plex case. However, i have not had your specific model so you would just have to measure the space you have considering it has a large heat sink. The card itself is awesome i own 2, they are wonderful and quiet and play 265 perfectly.

Question 2

Why do the specs not list the power requirements? How much power does it use?

Accepted Answer

You are correct that no power requirement is specified. This card gets its power from the bus, not from a power supply cable. My guess is that it draws less than 30W. 
It runs very cool. I'm using it in a home theater rig, taking advantage of the fanless (silent) operation. Running everything on a 350W power supply. Hope this helps.

Question 3

Will this fit/work in a Dell Optiplex 960 Small Mini Tower?

Accepted Answer

This card will fit in any system with the required PCIe slot and a vacant slot below it. It takes two slots because of the thickness of the card due to the heatsink. If you have a slim case it will fit with the included shorter bracket which is easily changed.

Question 4

The specs say 1920 x 1200 video out? For this card, I would expect 4K 3840 x 2160. has anyone tested for 4k output.

Accepted Answer

I'm using this card on a Samsung 60" 4K TV as my computer  monitor at full resolution. Been working fine for about a year now.

Question 5

Does this VGA card come with an HDMI output?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this VGA card comes with an HDMI output.

Question 6

Can this VGA card be used for video editing?

Accepted Answer

The ASUS GeForce GT 1030 2GB GDDR5 HDMI DVI Graphics Card is recommended for basic gaming and multimedia tasks. It is a budget option and is praised for its silent operation. However, for video editing, typically more powerful graphics cards are recommended. The card may handle basic video editing but may not be optimal for more demanding tasks.

Question 7

Is my new motherboard PCIe 4.0 x 16 slot backwards compatible with this PCIe 3.0 video card?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot is backwards compatible with a PCIe 3.0 video card.

Question 8

I have a Dell Vostro with a 260w psu. Would it be enough to power it? I know their recommended psu is 300w

Accepted Answer

Yes, the ASUS GeForce GT 1030 2GB GDDR5 HDMI DVI Graphics Card has a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 30W, which means a 260W PSU should be sufficient to power it.

Question 9

Does this video card support UEFI? I can't boot with secure boot, unless the video card supports uefi.

Accepted Answer

I have no issues with a UEFI MB.

Question 10

Backwards compatible to Windows 8.1 Direct X 10?

Accepted Answer

Windows 8 Drivers exist for it on Nvidia's website and from what I remember cards that can run newer revision of DirextX can run the older versions as well, as each level of DirectX basically added more features and instructions.
