My system is Dell Vostro 3681. It's Core i3 10100, 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 Home. I'm planning to buy a GeForce GT 1030 LP graphics card. Will my system run AOE IV smoothly? Or do I have to increase my RAM also? I'm big fan of the series.

ur processor is fine , (saw an adata gammix d30 3200mhz for 3k on amazon/ corsair vengence/hyper x fury[8gb]) , i wouldnt suggest buying a 4gb unless u are tight on cash(but still they are like 1.6-2k) , buy an 8gigs if u can,
1050ti /if possible -rx570(4gb rx 570 was 10-12k or something at launch ,dont pay alot for it)

if someone knows better correct me if i'm wrong on the specs

Thanks for the reply. Appearantly I couldn't find a better low profile (LP) graphics card other than a GT 1030. If you have anything better, please share the link.

Yes, GT 1030 2GB GDDR5 will suffice for AoE4 as its min spec is pretty low. Expect playing at 720p low 30fps:

As said earlier, add 2nd 4GB RAM stick.

GPU market is bad right now, with no hope of it getting better in few weeks.
