Completely agree with that. In my opinion the 1030 should not even exist. Get ANY used mid tier card from the last 5 years there and your experience will change completely...

Extra 8gb is also interesting

SSD is also gonna make you never look back, but won´t get you any extra FPS

The 1030 mainly exists to give office desktops multi monitor support with the capability of *light* productivity outside the realm of what integrated graphics can handle, while requiring no external power and being lower cost than a gaming focused card. You might say, just buy a 1050ti or 1650, and that's true, but your average office guy can google how to get more monitors, and may just buy the cheap new thing that works, not the gaming branded thing, and likely not something used either. 

It has a niche, just not a popular one.
