MSI and Gigabyte also released a few GT 1030 models
Update: Lowest price from Newegg is $70

I'll be glad to see if it comes to laptops

70-80 Usd won't the r7 560 and 550 destroy it for that price.

[astranger200]

something like that would be nice in a laptop for sure. will smash intel hd and be great for casual CSGO

But it's nvidia so it must be better!  

 

In a quick look at UK pricing, the pre-orders for 1030 are low to mid £70's, whereas the cheapest RX 550 are mid £70's upwards. Initial pricing is usually inflated so once supplies get stable I'd expect the 1030 to take a clear lower price point than the 550. It might still be poor for price:performance but typically smaller offerings, and lower power (and some fanless), will allow it to fill niches the 550 can't. This could be interesting for example, in a case mod I'm doing where the 750Ti I got for it is still right on the limit as far as power goes...

@Slick @LinusTech or anyone at LTT please get one, put a waterblock on it and see what you guys can push out of it! I think it would be a fun video. 

[NLD1st]

PS. I'm okay with the waterblock being tierapped down to the card. Getto mount that thing

[Taf the Ghost]

It's nice to see new GPUs at the budget/extra monitors slots finally show up.  It's been a while.  These are also competent little cards to do more than just run some monitors.  It's nice to see GPU tech move that far.

get buildzoid on it , he had his 710 on dryice at 2ghz or so

[mr moose]

To be honest, at that price I don't really get its relevance.

Not necessarily. The rx 560 is $20 more and the 550 is weaker than a gtx 750 ti. Seems to be weaker than a 750 non-ti even. The 550 is a total waste of money at $80. If the gt 1030 performs anywhere near a gtx 750 ti then it's a better buy than a rx 550.

 

Mind you I'm talking about srp here, I'm well aware than there are rx 460s at $80 on newegg, even less with discounts.

The 1030 should perform at around 50% of a 1050Ti.

A 1050Ti is about 20% faster than a 1050. 

A 1050 is about on par with a 560. 

A 550 is about half as fast as a 560. 

 

The 1030 should be about 20% ahead of a 550. But both cards are still terrible buying options.

Not exactly terrible for those who have low wattage crap PSUs (200W for instance) but still don't want to change it LOL

Basically any OEM PSU can run a 1050.

The only thing that would make this card worthwhile is if it were able to stream Netflix 4K (without Kaby Lake), as it would then become the cheapest option to 4K on PC.

Back then i had a client who got a 4k tv and want to hook up his pc, but his onboard graphic won't do 4k, so i had to find the cheapest card. Gt710 just came out and it supports 4k but only at 30hz, so he was forced to get a overkill card, like a gtx750. Now that same gt710, can do 4k at 60hz. Can't tell if nvidia did some hardware changes or just edited the specs on their product page.

Three way UHD 144hz gaming, here I come!

At least it's RGB

[NumLock21]

Seem like this card is really lacking in features...

[Kamina]

Great for 7th gen games, I guess.

[flushfire]

A few performance videos are out, seems like its almost equal to a GTX 750. Better than the rx 550 while being $10 cheaper. Outside the US it's not bad, really.

So this

 

Well, close enough

[kasugatei]

Upon reading the specs I've immediately ordered one for my company. So far, I am really satisfied with the performance for my use case. It is capable of outputting dual 4K@60Hz and it is cheap and low profile which is great because I use it with servers. Good luck trying even to output full HD with server onboard GPU.

I am not looking for gaming performance but only for video output and this small guy does a great job.
