I have run a GT 1030 with a pair of 4K displays for a few months and the performance is terrible (for a desktop usage). I don't know where the bottleneck is (PCI bandwidth maybe) but you should avoid this card. I have replaced it with an RX550 and I don't have any performance problem anymore. It is not passively cooled, but the fan can be stopped from software if you want.

Perhaps you got the "disgrace version" of GT 1030 with slow DDR4 in place of GDDR5? [1]

Yes, I have the DDR4 version. I wouldn't have thought it would matter much for a desktop usage.
