temporary graphics card

[resolve_beta]

I was going to use the UHD 730 but i changed my mind because it sucks at gaming. Im thinking about getting the GT 1030 for 66$ any suggestions?

Thats slower than some of the the good iGPUs, you know that, right?

Overpriced I'd say about 1030

Tbh I doubt you can mount iGPUs to a CPU.

Nevertheless I doubt you can play much better with a GT 1030.

Up to you.

That is objectively incorrect.  

 

 

The GT 1030 is dramatically faster than iGPUs on current CPUs.  

So, for 60 bucks?  Yeah, buy the 1030.

Yeah, maybe. But for a temporary opition I'd go for Vega 11 -

The 1030 is faster than UHD 730 integrated graphics:

 

The 1030 is the weakest GPU you should actually consider buying even as a placeholder. Make sure it's the GDDR5 version, not the DDR4 one they came out with.

 

The 1030 can be beaten by the integrated graphics on an AMD 3400G APU (and therefore I would assume also their newer more expensive APU's that aren't really available to consumers yet) in certain games but not most.

Except the 3400G is hella overpriced now still.  And the 5000G line isn't available for purchase (in theory)

 

Getting a GT 1030 for 60$ is the better call still.

Yeah, upgrade path at AM4 would not be too good also probably. GT 1030 is a viable option, though imo overpriced still... but i guess all the GPUs are.

There's no CPU you can buy right now, Intel or AMD, that has much of an upgrade path really. AMD is done with the AM4 socket and Intel is switching from LGA 1200 to LGA 1700 with the next line of CPU's as well IIRC.

I mean with amd you can go up to the 5950x so of you were using the 3400g then yeah that would certainly be an upgrade path. Tbh it's not like the 5950x or the 5900x is going to be obsolete anytime soon. I mean I am still using my 8700k and that still performs great in the games I play. I doubt the 5950x or the 5900x wouldn't have the same or longer longevity than the 8700k.
