NVIDIA Readies GeForce GT 1030 to Compete with Radeon RX 550

[cbn]

Edit : One weird thing i noticed is one video shows Witcher 3 only getting 40fps on low settings at 900p while the rx550 comparison video shows the 1030 getting 40 fps on medium settings at 1080p in Witcher 3.
That doesn't make sense. One of the benchmarks is wrong.

The CPUs are different (first video has a Core i5 4460 and the second video uses a Core i5 7400) and I'll bet the scene tested was different too.

Pretty sure it has nothing to do with the cpu. That's because neither cpu would bottleneck a 1030 and certainly wouldn't cause such a large difference.

Assuming this card eventually works with 4K Netflix/edge browser it should end up getting connected to some 4K TVs (particularly non smart 4K TVs) so some 4K gaming benchmarks would be interesting as well.

Here's a preview: 1 FPS

A 1030 will need to run most current games at maybe 720p with upscaling to 4K. The 1080ti is barely a 4K card.

1030 is meant for only upto 1080p however older games like 5-10 years ago would run well at 4K with playable fps.
But i don't see anyone buying 1030 if they can afford a 4K monitor. Minimum they would buy is 1050Ti.

GT 1030 vs. GTX 750 Ti:

So it looks GT 1030 is about 80% to 85% of a GTX 750 Ti.

About same as 750 non ti.
Overclocking can close the gap with 750ti.

Beat me to it! Looks like the the GT1030 might be a little worse for frame dips, but overall a better deal at $10 less than the RX 550. I'd love to see some more intense Vulkan/DX12 tests between those three cards.

For example, I am thinking about getting a Lenovo M91P SFF which will have Core i5 2400 (95W), full size optical drive, 3.5" HDD with room for another 3.5" HDD (so two 3.5" HDDs possible), 240W PSU with 17amps on the 12v rail (so 204W for 12v). Full loaded up that doesn't leave much room in the power budget for a video card.

Regarding the Lenovo M91P SFF, I did find out it (and the M93P Haswell version) can use a TFX PSU (which are available in 300W or 350W from Seasonic at Newegg). However as reported by this poster on lenovo forums the TFX PSU needs L shaped SATA power for the 3.5" bay tray. Looking at the pictures of the 300W Seasonic TFX it does have 2 at a right angle (in addition to 2 straight ones).

So maybe RAID-0 hard drives plus a 75W dGPU together for Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge and Haswell Lenovo PCs using this form factor?

EDIT: Below is a shot inside the Haswell version (specifically the E73 model which apparently lacks PCIe x 16 of the M93P but is otherwise physically the same internally) showing why the SATA power needs to be L -shaped, or more accurately stated at a right angle to the strand:

Well, this is rather interesting. A competitor for AMD's lack of integrated graphics on its Ryzen CPU's. It's also a single-slot card, but no indication that it will be a low-profile card. Maybe AIB's will release a low-profile version of this card in the future? No clue on how it will perform against integrated graphics.

EDIT: Deleted image as the card shown is not official.

I think NVIDIA is the best one in the market. There are no any other brands could compete with it.

Nope.. For 4K the bare minimun is 1060 6 GB (I can't say that 3GB is a 1060, is an insult for a good card)
