I'm not trolling. Trolling is for people who don't have a life.

Then explain this.

Let's see a synthetic benchmark. Comparing a 1050Ti with a 60% overclock to a 970 with no overclock.....hmmmmmm

 

How about we look at passmark scores since we like synthetics so much. 

 

1050Ti - 5805 http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=GeForce+GTX+1050+Ti&id=3595

970 - 8573 http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=GeForce+GTX+970

 

1050Ti @ 2.2ghz~ (60%~ overclock) -- 9,300~ 

970 @ 1.4ghz~ (40% overclock) -- 12,000~

His request for the 1030's performance isn't all that unreasonable though. A GTX 1050 uses 75W and these new cards supposedly use 35 which is slightly less than half power. If performance scales perfectly this card should have half the performance.

 

I see people playing Rocket league at 100+ FPS with a 1050 so I bet I could play it with these 1030s, although I'm not sure it would be steady 60+ FPS on max settings, but definitely playable I have no doubt.

I was laughing at his claim that his 1050 is better than a 970.

Fair enough.

That actually sounds pretty decent, depending on the price.

Whachu know 'bout the story and char development in synthetic benchmarks?

[Syntaxvgm]

I was like "ten series already" then I realized I have a 1080 installed. This is all happening too fast.

My opinion: I love these entries into the market because I personally think graphics in most desktop circumstances are best left discrete due to the sheer progress we've made in making them more efficient and cool running. These passive cards get me in the spirit as I've said I want to in the past of creating my own fully passive PC that gets all its air flow from a single high quality fan rather than needing a fan on every component in the case.

 

Given the current terrible value of the RX 550 I hope this competition gives me some more entry-level toys to play with.

Why rely on low power hardware for a full passive PC? Just DIY something

[Hunter115]

why no 1040 like the 940mx for laptops

* Me putting all my effort into re-railing my topic*

 

Even though you're all probably right I wouldn't buy a 970 over a 1050ti, but that's mostly because I like to have the newest most efficient hardware in my system, even if it's a budget model. Upgrading from entry-level is the best way to go IMO because you can upgrade more often and I don't need to fret about breaking my hardware. Like who's buying a GTX 970 these days?

 

Funny thing is I usually get AMD anyways. Not as efficient for some reason, but I liked being able to have a CPU + GPU made from the same brand. And this first came out yesterday so IDK why I'm the first one posting it, but I want that WAN show mention.

Well, someone who's considering a 970 would get a 570/580/1060. Also, you like to have the "newest most efficient hardware", yet you go AMD. mmmmmk.

Like DIY a heatsink?

That didn't go well for Linus.

 

I wouldn't use one of these 1030 cards anyways. I'm keeping my Sapphire Nitro RX 460 until Navi most likely. I could probably take off the fans from this card and passive cool it as long as the case gives it sufficient airflow because the heatsink fins run parallel allowing air to flow through it out the back of the case.

Newest and most efficient for AMD.

How do you guys think this woukd work for a dedicated content creation pc.

 

I.e. Photoshop/Premire/Davinci

It'd work ok, but you could do a lot better. It's an entry level card, so you'll get entry level results.

APU's were never the best at average resolutions. 720p with no aa is perfectly fine. But even 900p was pushing it back with a8-5600k.

 

Your frames will still be low with dedicated graphics, but at least with 720p aa or 1080 no aa effects. Medium textures at all settings worked for me here too.

 

As a fine member of the forum already said above. "Better graphics memory"

So does this support Netflix 4k? 

More than likely yes.

 

The reason we've seen a new set of Budget Line cards from both vendors is mostly this reason.  HDMI 2.0 and h.265 hardware decoding.  In a 1/2 height card.  There is a market for these and there will be for at least a decade.  They do "everything but gaming" that will be needed at the consumer-level.  Possibly for several decades at the consumer level.  (At least until we get a h.266 or whatever the next major video codec is.)

 

Also, the gaming performance isn't exactly "bad".  You can play the Esports titles just fine, though maybe more at 1080p with Medium settings. That isn't the point of these cards, but they do work.  These are for HTPCs and SFF cases for someone that needs web browsing and all of the connectivity options.  It's going to be well into the mid-2020s before you have much of a need for greater than 4K connectivity for much of any reason.

 

Some people have been 1080p gaming for well over a decade.  We're at a technology saturation point right now.

I know it's capable of 4k netflix, but that doesn't mean it will support it if the DRM isn't extended to include a 1030. I would assume a 1030 would be supported, but at the same time, the possibility exists that it won't be so you would be forced to buy a Kaby Lake CPU/GTX 1050+.

Dude you could use high settings on esports games with these and get stable 60fps. You can basically run stuff like CS:GO and League on iGPU and get 30fps.

HALT. I started arguing again after the user understood his mistake. This argument is thus invalid.

Mmk. Thank you for your observation, it means a lot. <3

Anyone reading this would agree with him, too.

 

Changing your settings so that it's faster than the 970 on different settings does NOT make your card faster. Overclocking your card and comparing it to the 970 makes your card faster but it is NOT a fair comparison. Benchmarking on an 11-year old NFS game and claiming that Windows 10 is making your card perform slower does NOT make the 970 slower than the 1050.

 

I don't mean to be rude or anything when I say this, but you have to really understand that you're wrong right now.

Finally! Hopefully this time it's worth the price

Low end cards are often used in systems that have no iGPUs (like servers/NAS/etc) but still need display outputs for diagnostic/setup reasons. VGA displays are still very common in those environments.

I've been thinking of building a NAS, and I'd probably get one of these, or a GT 710.  Although I've seen server boards with built-in VGA ports, I don't have a display with VGA in, just HDMI and DisplayPort.  AFAIK adapters that do VGA out to HDMI/DP in aren't cheap, and I don't want to get a second VGA monitor, so for that use case getting a discrete low-end GPU with HDMI/DP built in would be a must.

The passive model and do you still have it? I'd swap you something for it.. watercooling parts etc.
