If that’s the case, the card probably didn’t have a lot of development time just to have SOMETHING out. Since I think even GT1030s were being scalped. I’m guessing they didn’t actually see a reason to release the GT1010 en masse once the chip shortage and GPU prices calmed down, so they didn’t make the GT1010 in large quantities and didn’t sell them outside of Southeast Asia for some reason.

[@DigitalJedi]

Given they drop the X for these cards, the RT branding would seem fitting. The 3050 6GB is effectively the RT3030, and the 2050 is probably better given the name of RT3020 given it is a cut-down mobile 3050.

There's only one card that should have GDDR4... The Radeon 1950xt, HD 3850/70 and 2600xt Oh also... Remember the weird R7 450 you did a video on? I think I found a tweak that'll help! Go into the driver configuration where you select "gaming" or "compute" mode. Pick "compute". Then load up MSI afterburner and max the power limit to whatever it'll give. Then try running some benchmarks again!

[@0MeALot0]

Power management mode set to optimal performance does actually very little for performance as it wont clock the card higher then before but in idle will eat much more energy as the gpu will never clocks down when not in use. Its a pretty bad setting and best left on optimal power.

[@Zack_Wester]

depends. I remember on I think it was my last card that if I put it on optimal/power saving some game would not really run to well. because the system would always try and clock down the GPU. the game only used like 10% of my GPU for 60ish FPS but as soon as the system clocked it down the FPS droped to like 10FPS because some more advance GPU tricks get disabled.

At 1:37 Which i7? You said you don't know which i7 it's supposed to be paired with....so I checked. The card came out in Q1 of 2021, according to GPU-L. Which means that it is firmly in the i7-11700 range since they also came out in Q1 of 2021, according to CPU-L. Now, there are six of those, only counting desktop variants: 11700 11700B 11700F 11700K 11700KF 11700T

This makes me remember of a video of _Dawid Does Tech Stuff_ , where he completely removed the cooler of a GT1030 to see if the card would still work, and the card actually never managed to overheat, even after some overclocking ! XD Given the fact that this GT1010 is even worse than the 1030, I'm sure you can remove the cooler and the card won't even guess something is different 😂

[@Nevkx]

Didn’t know that I needed a video to review the gt1010 when I have a rtx 3060 but here I am

[@cybergarri]

In the case of AMD, the GPUs without a video encoder are laptop GPUs that they decided to sell for desktop (they count on the integrated GPU having a video decoder). I wouldn't be surprised if that were also the case for some GPUs that they didn't sell for laptops and they try to sell them in another market.

[@Ficii1]

When it comes to lag on the nvidia control panel. I have a 3060ti and it still lags like that. I have no idea if it's even fixable, but I usually only use it after I reinstall Windows, so it doesn't really bother me that much.

The orignal Crysis does have trouble launching on modern systems. If I remember correctly it mostly has to do with AMD CPUs but fans created an alternative launcher to circumvent the problem.

[@Vitaliuz]

Even a GT 1030 doesn't have an *encode* NVENC support, why would a GT 1010 have it?.. Besides "standard" codecs, an "entry level" GT 1030 can *decode* H.265/HEVC 4:2:0 _(but not 4:4:4)_ up to 12bit and VP9 up to 12bit. No VP8 or AV1, though. Out of 10xx series, NVENC *encoding* support starts at GTX 1050.

[@tim3172]

The GT is there to delineate encoder vs non-encoder cards. It was the only series to have that distinction. (The GT 710 , for example, has an H.264 encoder.) The GT 10X0 series misses out on a lot of other feature such as Ansel, VR-ready, SMP, G-Sync, GameReady streaming, etc.

[@anatolklops]

I think this monster is more of a solution when you need support for newer directx or open gl, but don't need performance. Something like visualization, or programs dedicated to something where you can't use integrated graphics/the brain of the operation is Intel Atom. Something like your device was running on GeForce 9600GT, but now you need support for Open GL at least 4.0, so you need a display device with a high enough Open GL.

[@resneptacle]

To the cutting out issue with the HDMI to VGA adapter: I noticed that CRT monitors for some reason don't like cheap active VGA adapters that work perfectly fine everywhere else but cut out constantly on a CRT, I had the same thing happen that was shown during the CRT section of the video! I assume the VGA signal levels are just a tad too weak to be consistent on CRT monitors which IIRC have a slightly higher tolerance range for voltage than "modern" VGA displays

[@BudgetBuildsOfficial]

Tested on a Viewsonic LCD with unfortunately the same results

[@ewasteredux]

True to form you have classically displayed the card as you have done in the past near a bird wash in your garden. Perhaps it would have been more appropriate to display this one on the brim of a toilet?

[@greanhare5270]

I'd like to see a comparison to integrated graphics on an i5 or a Ryzen 5 of the era. Anyone on a tight budget might be better off spending a little more on a CPU, and getting a GPU later.

[@blendpinexus1416]

there is only one use for such a gpu these days, (or even when it was new for that matter) additional display driving and maybe extra media decoding abilities. the 1030 actually offered a bit more than the contemporary igpus.

[@andreanastacio9548]

Given the GT 1010 name, I was expecting this thing to essentially be a desktop version of the GT920M I had in a Toshiba laptop I`d bought back in 2015, but it actually seems to perform a good amount better, not that it was a high bar to clear, because the best my GT920m could do in GTA V was in the 40 fps range at 1366x768 normal settings

[@sophiestabilitronics]

About that rare video card, I realized I should not regret the GTX 1050 2GB I bought. Thank you for this encouragement. Well, I can play more games and even Crysis using GTX 1050 2GB than GT 1010... What a trip for that GT 1010 to not run Crysis, but overall, it's consoling it can run solitaire, minesweeper and even Purble Place. :D

It exists and was discontinued in 2021. It was meant to be more of a display adapter. As for GDDR , I wanted to see was GDDR5 the very first GDDR , but , according to wikipedia and similar sites , GDDR goes back to the very first DDR RAM.

Video car manufacturers didn't put inside their GUI a definition for gddr anything. They usually just refer to everything within the side their interface as DDR gddr4 is essentially the same as ddr4 but for graphics cards. Yes they are different Technologies with different standards but to the Layman they don't really know the difference but if you were to put in a graphics card with gddr3 inside the interface it would still read DDR3

[@cecilb7927]

It would be interesting to see how this discrete GPU compares to Intel UHD 770 IGPU in 12th gen CPUS and the Vega graphics of the 5600G. Those CPUs came out about the same time. I know I for reasons that would take too long to explain for a short while was running No Man's Sky with the iGPU in a 12700 and it was entirely playable. Given the price, it is pretty much direct competition to the AMD RX 6400 or Intel Arc A310, which are at least an improvement over iGPUs. That is probably why they were never marketed in North America or Western Europe.

[@patrickfinie4102]

I am kinda curious, how does the GT1010 compair with the nearly equivelent Quadro P400. They have the same cudacore count, close enough clocks. The Quadro has NVENC and GDDR vs DDR for vram. Oh and the P400 has a full x16 link vs x4. Forgot to mention that somehow my Quadro P400 seemed to perform better on PCIE Gen2 x8 than my GT1030.
