You’ll have to read reviews of each. If your case has good airflow the fanless should be fine. If not, don’t skip the fan. They should all perform close to each other.

I'm having the same dilemma. I wanna use it for some occasional gaming but not hardcore. I'm afraid the version without heat sink isn't gonna be able to cope. Does anyone how much the Gigabyte N1030D5 can handle without melting 😉 ??

In terms of performance they all will perform about the same. The performance differences between the cards is small and not worth considering. I recommend the MSI or the Gigabyte one. MSI one looks nicer. The fanless ones are more ideal. The GT 1030 is a low power card and can run with just a decent heatsink that's on it. I have an EVGA GT 1030 with no fans and it performs just as well as any other GT 1030 without the noise. You don't have to worry about it melting as it's designed to get hot.

Go for the: GIGABYTE nVidia GeForce GT 1030 OC.
Since it has a fan, always buy a gpu with fan because without fan it can throttle while gaming.

That is not true at all. Fanless cards are designed to run without fans and do not throttle or overheat. I've tested fanless cards with OCCT and various games and they did not do what you are describing. If they overheated in gaming they would not have shipped the cards in that state. These cards do not overheat and certainly don't get hot enough to throttle.
