Looks like there are 3 situations where you would need to get this card, because there really isn't a competitor out there for:
1. 0 db/silent/passive
or
2. low profile AND single slot (plenty of competition that fits only one of those)
or
3. super low power (either your PCI-E slot is limited to 35W, and/or your PSU has a total of something like 200W)
I've seen one video in particular where the PCI-E slow was limited all the way to 25W, and that the 1030 worked, despite being a hair over.
