[SOLVED] can a GT 1030 run Redout with a 2k monitor?

[reg66]

I'm possibly gonna buy a SFF PC which would require max GPU of GT 1030 2GB. The PC would have an i5 8500, 8GB RAM (plus SSD). My monitor is 2K and, as I no longer really game, I'll only really play Worms and Redout on occasion.
Q. Will this setup be enough?

My other option is to go a bit bigger with the same specs but MT - HP 290 G2 or Dell Optiplex 3060. However, this, taking full height GPU's would allow a GTX 1050 ti 4GB.

I appreciate the larger is the better option, but I really also like the idea of having a wee small system that does all I need it do.

What are your thoughts guys?

You will need a more powerful GPU in order to maintain playable frame rates while also being able to use higher graphics settings. Here's a list of the best graphics cards for 2K (QHD) monitors: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-gpus,4380.html

GT 1030 2GB is not enough for Redout at 1440p. 1030 barely hit 30fps on csgo at 1440p. If you dont mind drop the resolution lower then its ok but 1080p or 720p will look really bad on a 1440p rather than a native one. Redout hit 35-45 frames at 1080p with 1030. Do you move a lot from locations and you need a small computer? Its your choice. Gtx 1050 ti will do fine in the games you listed and some more esport games like csgo , league of legends etc.

OK, many thanks. Think I'll go with the larger option then. No, it's not for portability, I just like small and neat!! But MT isn't too bad, so I'll go with that. Cheers
