Question 1

Can this run Fortnite at 60fps?

Accepted Answer

My grandson is running Fortnite with no issues. I watched him today and everything he does is so fast I can't follow it but no hickups with the gpu. He says there haven't been any crashes or freezes or slowdowns with Fornite at 60 fps.. His computer has the Gforce GT1030. We setup the Asus GPU Tweak II which is shipped with their version of the 1030 which gives you a lot of OC capability. This machine also has a Samsung SSD 250 drive which makes loading pretty snappy plus 16 gig of RAM and it runs cool ( good idea to take off the cover - just a latch, no screws, and vac the cpu heat sink every once in a while - it collects dust).

Question 2

Does this computer run a GeForce 1030 or a GT 1030?

Accepted Answer

Mine included the original video card packaging.  It says Nvidia GEFORCE GT 1030.  My wife is the gamer and she can't believe this PC's performance for around $300!

Question 3

whats the vram on the 1030?

Accepted Answer

When mine came it had 2Gb ram on the video card

Question 4

Can this PC run Overwatch on medium at 60 fps?

Accepted Answer

Just remember, before December I would not have understood the question. I bought this for my son to play Mine Craft. it runs smoothly and Mine Craft minimum requirement was 60 fps.. We download Crazy craft and it is intermittently jerky. Right now, I am not convinced this is associated with computer speed. I feel it is more likely an internet speed problem. My service is suppose to be 105 bps, I've never checked to see, if this is consistent. I'm upgrading Saturday to 150 bps and try to improve my distribution in the house of my wireless signal. My total cost was $400 for the PC, monitor, keyboard and mouse. Sorry, I could answer the question directly.

Question 9

Curious how you get the 30w video card to work in a 25w slot on the motherboard?

Accepted Answer

You will be fine. The 25w limit is for other expansion cards; that does not apply to graphics cards. At the end, it is your power supply that matters; does it have an additional 12v line (assuming your mobo is using one) and can it handle the total system wattage.

Question 10

I have an extra 2.5 1tb SATA hdd, can I install it to this pc?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is a bay under the DVD drive. I am using a 120 SD drive there for my O.S (Windows 7 from the computer I replaced) and then I switched out the supplied Win 10 250GB drive for a 2TB drive under the Power Supply. Keep in mind there are only 3 SATA ports plus 1 E-SATA. I bought an e-sata low profile bracket for the rear so I can also use an external e-sata enclosure that I had on hand. You can set this machine up with a lot of storage.
