When you say "terrible" it depends. I have the 3020MT with the Intel i3 4150 two core processor and 16gb ram. The power supply in this system is <300w so you need a card that draws low power. The GT710 draws 19watts. It will also run up to 3 monitors and is a 2gb card. I am not a gamer and run win 8.1 64bit OS and this card runs two 22" monitors fine right now and has plenty of capacity to add a 3rd one. If you're looking for a gaming machine then you need a 3020 with the i5 or i7 four core processor 32gb ram and a larger card. If you are simply adding a video card to increase your number of monitors and not exceed the power requirements of the 3020 then the GT710 is a good choice and works well. Plus, it's under $100 at Best Buy. I added this message for those who simply want to expand their system with the least cost and easiest installation.

710 compared to GT1030 is a horrible card vs a current card.
