Worse value than the RX 550 you think? That card shouldn't cost over 70 dollars as it is IMO.

1050 ~ 560 

1050Ti ~ 20% faster than a 1050 

1050Ti ~ 100% faster than a 1030

1050 ~ 65% faster than a 1030

-------

560 ~ 65% faster than a 1030

560 ~ 100% faster than 550

 

So, a 1030 is roughly 30% faster than a 550 and I'm expecting it to be priced at about the same $80.

this little thing would be enough for CSGO, League, DOTA, WoT, etc. not aaa, but better than nothing

If Nvidia sticks to previous generation's pricing, this will be about $80.

Thanks for that link, although  I can't find it on sale from a reputable retailer though.

 

On second thought, the benchmarks make me a little gun shy.  The 1050 ti just doesn't do 60FPS at 1080 in enough titles for me to consider it.  Maybe a passive 1060 is the next step then?

its for systems with out a iGPU like xeons, x99, ryzen.

My server has integrated graphics on the mobo but its extremely slow. Linux terminal would lag horribly.

 

This usually isnt a problem as remote connection is what i typically use but on the odd occasions where i need direct access it helps immensely with both saving time and sanity. I threw in a 610 and have no regrets.

Or just get a motherboard with remote access support (e.g. Supermicro's IPMI, HP's ILO, etc...) and just connect to the server from another computer. 

I doubt I could get that within my current budget.

 

Spoiler

The CPU + cooler + board + RAM + boot drive + GPU + case + PSU + OS combined (basically the entire build not counting storage drives)

should cost about as much as

• either a single 6-8 TB "green"/"Archive"/SMR HDD,
• 500-1TB SATA (WD Blue, Crucial MX300, etc) SSD OR
• 250-500GB NVMe (Intel 600p, MyDigitalSSD BPX, etc) SSD.

 As for the storage, I'd like to get as good or better $ per TB and drive quality/reliablity than the links indicate.

 

Also while I'm fine with using older parts (like LGA1155, LGA1366, LGA775, etc), it still has to support SATA, and drives larger than 2 TB.

 

I'd also consider just getting a couple 8TB HGST Deskstar NAS drives (or 10TB Seagate Ironwolf) when they're on sale next Black Friday, copying stuff to them then setting them on a shelf, but then that doesn't help with automatic on-the-fly backups.  (Online won't work, as I only have a 7 Mbps up connection, and record a lot of audio & video.  My camera can do 4K at 100 Mbps.)

 

Don't really want to say more in this topic/post though, as it's about the GT 1030, not building a NAS.

The current MSRP for the 1030 & RX 550 are just the first run.  The price will come down over time, as they're not going to be making new chips in this space for a LONG time.  Eventually they'll be available for 50-60 in new packaging. And, well, the eventually refreshes every 18 months.  I'd be really surprised if there's any new hardware in this space before 2020, though a refresh might get a DP 1.5 or HDMI 2.2 (or whatever they name the next update to those protocols).

Why would anyone use these instead of igpus?

While benching I found an odd effect when running iGPU, I'd get much lower Cinebench CPU scores than otherwise. Had it on more than one system, but didn't try to diagnose it further and just stuffed any old GPU into those systems.

Would it be faster than the GTX 750 tho? I mean the HD 6200 isn't too far off a 750 so...  

At 384 cores it is some way off the 750Ti at 640 cores (don't have 750 numbers on hand). Then again, at 35W TDP I wouldn't expect high clocks to compensate, but they might have good OC potential.

[You_are_a_cunt]

I would get one of these just so I can build an overpowered arcade machine or for a over-the-top-because-why-not HTPC

My source: https://smallformfactor.net/news/gt1030s-appear-gigabyte-msi

 

" NVIDIA’s first ‘new’ sub **50 cards in an age (since the GT210/610, etc were just rebrands!) have started to appear"

 

" Each card has 384 CUDA cores, 24 TMUs and 8 ROPs. Also identical across the cards is the RAM- 2GBs of DDR5 1750MHz (7000MHz effective), with 56GB/s bandwidth. GPU clock speeds have yet to be announced, But I expect the active cooled variants to be clocked higher than the passive variants, but they are quoted as having a 35W TDP."

 

 

 

 

 

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.

Hey Linus, are you going to do a video rant on this card

[ProjectBox153]

And sadly, these cards are better than my cards.

ok, but it is 2017 and almost every monitor sold now has HDMI or DVI. it make no sense to have a new card have a big port for a dead video out standard, it is a waste of space. If you only have access to a VGA only monitor then maybe you shouldn't buy a new GPU and get a older used one.

why don't we have firewire, serial, printer ports on our PC's?

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.

AMD isn't substantially cheaper than Nvidia though.

[Okjoek]

It doesn't matter at all for the GT 1030, but I definitely prefer the Polaris reference design with its utilitarian feel than the Pascal series that has too many ugly angles on it IMO.

I'll take Pascal's reference cooler over AMD's any day.

Fair enough. Different tastes is all. I just really like the industrial look.

 

As far as the GT 1030s are concerned I feel the Gygabyte passive cooler is the best of the four.

 

As opposed to something like this:

Only is best when you have an airflow focused down the channels via a fan.

 

A passive cooler should have something omni-directional  like this:

So hot air has a higher amount of area in which it can dissipate in. Gigabyte's cooler is the closest to this design of the two passive coolers there.

You really overestimate this as being hard to do at 2160p.

I turn the internal rendering resolution up to 6x native. The game itself runs at 30fps (Game Cube) but FRAPS reports 60.

I mean, 480 uses less power than a 970. At least at stock.

I have a 580 and am using it as an adapter.

Um, emulation of older systems and streaming from an XBO don't count.  Those take no effort to run at a solid 60.  Also, you're confusing an OS issue with driver support.

 

 

I don't have an xBox

Then how are you playing all those Halo games?

Because Halo CE, Halo 2, and Halo 3 were for PC, as is Halo Online.

 

4, Reach, and 5 were being streamed over WiFi from my neighbor's house, we did that just for fuck's sake. Being able to stream 60fps over 100 metres is nice, not so much my video card as my wireless adaptor ;_;

You wouldn't believe the impedance a 100m Ethernet cable has when it's being used as a USB extender for a wired controller.

Halo 3 was never on PC....

Yes, it was. The most annoying thing was the xBox icons instead of keys.

 

Halo Online (El Dewrito) is based off of Halo 3's engine. (Reddit link)

That's not Halo 3.  Ther'es no campaign.  Just because the base it off an engine doesn't mean Halo 3 is for PC.  If it was then MS would have officially branded it as such.  

It's close enough, a lot of the online multiplayer maps from Halo 3 were (are) present.

I got maybe 24 fps on the GT 710.

I heard there was a project going on named Installation 01 for making a Halo-3 PC variant that even has Microsoft's blessing.

 

EDIT: I used to play Halo CE a ton on PC, but I never followed the series because I wasn't getting an XBOX.

I would like to see the difference between the 1030, 730, and an igpu.
