News Here comes the GT 1010! :D

If you do a bit of searching, a lot of people have been asking questions about this phantom GPU in the forums. After the original announcement, there was silence....

But it looks like the first cards are beginning to surface. Apparently, they're made for OEM/prebuild channels.

Here are a couple of articles:

- https://www.tomshardware.com/news/the-lowest-end-gpu-geforce-gt-1010-available-benchmarked-pictured

- https://www.cowcotland.com/news/798...s-savez-quoi-elle-est-grave-a-la-ramasse.html

- https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-gt-1010-spotted-on-chinese-marketplace-for-70-usd

As you can imagine, the gaming benchmark results are less than stellar. I particularly enjoyed this quip from TH:
"With 256 CUDA cores, 16 texture units, 16 render backends, and 2GB of memory onboard, the GeForce GT 1010 would have been a fine gaming solution in 2008."

I wonder, however, if the video processing features (encoding/decoding) are better than on the 6500XT... that would be the ultimate humiliation.

Specs wise looks like Quadro p400, same process, same number of cores, ram, memory width. OEM card only sounds about right.

They're pretty much identical in that department. Same codec support. The GP108 used in the 1010/1030 also lacks the hardware encoder.

The Gt1010 should have been the GT1030 DDR4... why on earth you need to launch a even more cut down version of the Gp108?

I was pretty amped for it since I don't game but I've only been able to find the ddr4 version online in the states ~

Robot or human?

As one of those articles states, you can buy them on taobao but I had trouble making an account. Let me know if you find a place to buy the gddr5 version!
