Is a gtx 1030 compatible with my dell optiplex 3020 sff?
GDDR5 GT1030 low profile graphics card for silent HTPC build (with I/O port brackets)
I found this and i really want to buy a good graphics card for my dell optiplex 3020 sff but i thought gddr5 isn't even compatible with ddr3 system so my question is it compatible? Im new to pc

That card will be fine. The low profile silent card is perfect for an HTPC build. And the type of GDDR has no bearing at all on the type of RAM your system has. That card will be absolutely compatible.

JO is spot on. Video card memory gddr5 is built on the card itself which has no relationship to main system memory ddr3 on motherboard
make sure your gt1030 is single slot width with a thin heatsink which is required in 3020 SFF. A gt1030 w a thick heatsink wouldn’t fit
