1050 is maybe $20 USD over the 550. At least 20% more performance.

I really enjoyed this video, and I already know a couple of people who I'm going to recommend they watch it. Honestly between the rx550 and get 1030, I would pick up the 1030 and overclock it (assuming of course that the Rx 550 isn't on sale for about the same price). What I love most about the gt 1030 is that almost all of the varients of the card (if not all) come with a half sized PCI bracket, so you can take one of those cheap dell, Lenovo,hp prebuilts and toss a GPU inside and boom gaming PC, plus due to its slightly lower tdp it won't put much of a burden on those crappy PSUs that come in prebuilts. Anywhoo thanks for another awesome video😊.

[@UFDTech]

Thanks for the in depth comment man! Really appreciate your thoughts & for sharing the video!

[@ck17350]

You brought up some really great points Waseem! In the past I've had to use many an old Dell or HP to game on due to lack of money. Not needing the auxiliary 4 or 8 pin connector is a must as well as the slim line fit to get around giant Dell CPU fan shrouds. My previous machine was a Dell and I had to cut a huge chunk out of my GTX 550TI's fan shroud to get it to fit in there. I finally saved up enough to build my own machine but my last two computers all had the types of issues you've described.

[@lourencoalmada1305]

Just built a new PC for my grandparents with a 1030. I usually build PCs with 1080s and up, and my own has a pretty big R9 FURY STRIX , so I felt really weird handling a graphics card smaller than a pencil case.

[@UFDTech]

Hahaahhaha, the thing is tiny, but I actually think it's kinda cute. Don't mind keeping it around for when I just need a display out on a computer and don't need the processing power.

The GT1030 is also a single slot solution - but it would be interesting to see what having the adjacent slot filled would do to the temps. perhaps also for the 2 slot one with something in the next usable slot. At the price point, used cards would also offer another alternative, potentially more power but certainly more power usage for anything which could beat these.

[@techconix]

RX 550 also has single slot

[@TheCollectiveHexagon]

1:51 good times...now its about double its price

[@jermardbeejeez2191]

Thank you for making this for people in sa too

[@thetrueinferno7993]

I still find them poor purchases when used cards that are better go for much less than their msrps. The main reason I would consider purchasing one would be for a htpc or low power system.

[@UFDTech]

Sure, that's true, used cards are always a better bet for price/performance, but some people like having full warranties, and they still have their place.

[@thetrueinferno7993]

True dat

[@linhuichi937]

True Inferno yeah I got a gtx 670 for £50

[@fourtysix4646]

Great for htpcs as they output less heat and use less power. Also will be supported for much longer. I hate when my computer room temps turn desert like with my 980ti in the summer even with the ac running. I picked up a GT 1030 to use in my htpc due to the lower heat output, and decent performance for what it gets used for. Mainly use my GT 1030 for watching movies/twitch/KZbin. I picked up the evga one, not sure if I will over clock it as I have a gaming pc that I use to play games on. Also don't really think I would recommend anyone buy a 1030 for gaming unless they have a really old CPU like a q6600 as a 1030/1050 is about all that CPU can handle without bottlenecking the gpu. The 1030 really only has specific use cases and newer high end gaming isn't one of them. Great for older games/emulators and older CPUs though, will definitely breath new life into an older computer.

[@themustymustang5128]

I can barely find a RX 550 for under 150 now

[@jamesbutler606]

I've had the 1030 for a few months, it's not bad really, i could even run ProjectCars2 on med/high settings w/4gb ddr3 1333mhz ram installed and an i5-4430 processor for company. Worth a punt at £90 in my experience...however my new 1060 6gb w/8gb 1600mhz ram will hopefully work a lot smoother!

You made me buy a RX 550 for my i5 3240 budget PC for grandkids to play Dota2 and LoL.

[@Felix-ve9hs]

I'd rather buy a RX 560 or GTX 1050, they are much faster and have a better Price-performance ratio

[@ginbim]

I use a GT 1030 in a completely passively cooled HTPC and I love how I'm able to run games as if it was a silent console on my TV. Even though it was built for watching movies and browsing the web. That HTPC is also a file server on my home network running 24/7. Don't ever buy the GDDR4 version of the 1030 though. The GDDR5 version is much faster at the same price.

[@frankynakamoto2308]

Not having an external power connector is always much better, because is more simplistic and more consumer friendly, and some PC's can't easily replace the power supply, I would be impress with a GT1060 mini that uses similar energy as the GT1030, if they could make the 1060 look alike the 1030 is an immediate buy for me

[@Aurummorituri]

1060 is too power hungry. Even underclocked it will pull about 80W. Too risky.

[@frankynakamoto2308]

Aurummorituri They would need to make the cuda cores smaller

[@Aurummorituri]

An overclocked 1050 ti can already overdraw the slot at around 80W on its own.

[@sonicwingnut]

I needed a card for a low profile i5 machine I build from old parts when work were throwing out a load of old components. Ended up with a quad core 3.3ghz PC with 16GB of RAM for basically nothing, so figured might as well put a GPU in here and use it for some gaming - It was between these two (there's a low profile RX550 as well) but have to say given the overclocking potential bridging the gap a little, passive cooling option on some of the 1030s, and the fact the LP RX550 costs roughly 40-50% more right now (1030s start at £60, Rx550s around £90), the 1030 comes out on top there clearly.

I think the TDP of the 1030 makes it especially valuable for budget gamers who are just going to stick it in an ex corporate dell optiplex or whatnot they found at auction, could be a sub 200 AUD/NZD build

[@CraigPrinsloo]

Yeah i bought a Dell 3020, i5 8gbram for £40 and a gt 1030 for £60, pays most of what I want pretty easily. But comparing these two is problematic. Gt 1030 is not a gaming Gpu.

[@coreyisabigpushover]

The Powercolor RX560 is $99 USD (also has $20 rebate on top of that) on Newegg right now, has 4GB of ram, and comes with Quake Champions (if that's your thing). I'd say you could get a much better performance/price ratio with that card instead; if you're in the US anyways. I don't know how the prices compare in other countries.

I have a R7 260x, and I managed to get a mild overclock in MSI afterburner on this thing. Core from 1050 to 1200 Mem from 1500 to 1600 And jumping the power limit +8% The resolution it is displaying is at 1440 x 900 @75hz I managed to get more stable FPS with this overclock,and it manages to hold 75 fps at low to medium settings at this resolution (depending on the game). If I brought the resolution down to 720p, I could crank up the settings to medium to high, while keeping that 75 fps In short, I'd recommend an R7 260x if you could find one used...
