Nvidia GT 1030 vs GT 710: Should you pay twice as much for the GT 1030?

#nvidia #budgetshootout
Let's compare the GT 1030 against the GT 710 to see which crappy Nvidia graphics card should you buy? Is there any point in paying twice as much money to going from a GT 710 to a GT 1030?

[@johnmickey5897]

1030 is considered by many because of its low power consumption, and the reason is, just like you said in the video, for upgrading mid 2013-2015 HP and Dell desktop PCs into budget gaming PCs. The big factor that was missed in this video was the limited PSU wattage. Most of these types of PCs have 275-300W PSU and limited to 30W for the GPU, and rarely does anyone upgrade the PSU in those types of PCs.

[@BogusLettuce]

The GT 1030 is great for those old dell desktops with limited PSUs you just want to throw a couple upgrades in. It’s also good for a dual card setup in a custom build. You can just use the GT 1030 for older games and for watching videos in 4K to let your other card rest. Other than that it shouldn’t be your only graphics card you should rely on in a custom build.

I acquired a brand new small form factor HP desktop that has a i5 2400 and 8gbs of ram for $20 at my local thrift store a month earlier, and I planned to upgrade it and give to a relative who I thought would be interested in getting into computer gaming. The card made the computer capable of playing most games (albeit on lower settings) and watch 4k 60fps videos on KZbin with ease. It's definitely worth it when it comes to upgrading a old sandy bridge computer into a gaming capable machine for yourself, relative, or friend. I wouldn't call the GT-1030 bad at all.

Yeah, ask just about anyone on Dell support forums for SFF PCs and they'll recommend a 1030. You need something that's a) low profile, b) low wattage, c) quiet, d) cheap. "But an XYZ is way faster!" is like telling someone to fit a 6-litre V12 in their Ford Fiesta.

[@daria6241]

I actually bought a gt 1030 for a low profile optiplex and another consideration, other than the cost, was how much power it draws. The optiplex i have has a very low power power supply (180w) so I had to look for a graphics card which not only gave me ok performance but also only pulled about 30w

[@GAMEVIDSnorwegian422]

I have kinda wanted to get a GT 1030 and use it as an encoding card for OBS, idk why.... But my 2070 super cant do both game and record without stuttering in the recording, or well.. Not stuttering, but frame drops down to 40 from 60 (only in the recording, i dont see the frame drops when gaming). Would having a GT 1030 as the encoding card help? Now that OBS lets you choose which card to do the encoding?

[@popcade]

Hi, I think it's fun to include GT730(GDDR5) in the compare list too, and one strange thing is GT730 has NVENC that Gt1030 does not.

Are you sure tho ? All of them or a specific chip?

Things going for my first piece you build and I'm getting the GT 1030 thanks to you because the GTX 1050 is $300 right now

[@gregsmith9183]

GT 1030 is a good card for a true 4K 60Hz HTPC/Media setup over HDMI. Especially if looking for a Low profile half height card. Also make sure its the GDDR5. Not the SDDR4 version that severely cripples the performance of the GT 1030 card. The MSI GT 1030 does away with the outdated DVI and has HDMI/Display Port.

[@harrybryan9633]

My MSI GT 1030 ($68USD) has 2 HDMI ports. It is in an HP Z210 SFF box (Running two monitors @ 1080p). Moving up to an SFF RX560 isn't an option at the prices people are wanting for it.

[@bikingchupei2447]

go look up the "NVDEC Support Matrix" chart and you'll know why the 1030 is way superior, vp9, h265 420 support etc, this guy is clueless.

[@sl9sl9]

You do have a good point. However the NVENC support matrix tells a very different story.

[@kamzyoi6162]

hey I’m not really looking for a card to run games, but my onboard graphics card lag on a video editing software and I’m a content creator, do you think the gt 1030 would run fine for video editing

Got a quick question. I got a hp 8300 elite small form factor and need a video card to stream 1440p from my xboxss. I don't need the power to game on my computer. 720p is fine for me. I saw the two products on here and searched the web for a bit but not much on just streaming.

[@karroq]

I actually just picked one of these up on ebay to pair with an fx6300 in a fairly old rig, mainly just to play older games, so it's definitely perfect for that sort of thing.

I'm glad I saw this. I have some AMD Athlon II part from 2009 (dual core) on the AM3 platform which I will bring back to life as an office machine. It comes with onboard graphics 710.sb chipset. Originally I used it with 2gb and windows 7. I have bought an extra 2gb to make it 4gb to use with Win10. It's mostly going to be office based machine, not gaming. Should I get a gt710 (gddr5 based) passive to free up ram or it's not worth it? I even saw a 1030 passive but like you say.. it's double the money.

What GPU would you suggest for a Dell Optiplex PC, keeping in mind it has a 290W PSU. I was looking at a 2nd hand GT1030. A low profile GTX1050 would also work, but they are pretty difficult to find 2nd hand. The GTX 1650 won't work- the custom PSU is too small and it doesn't have the secondary power adapter. I mainly want it for a media PC, for normal and 3D movies (in HD).

MSI RX 550 or 560 - super low profile editions. There are others available as well from other manufacturers. Should be < than $100

I can see your point. I bought a gt 1030 for a low profile computer I was working on at the time. Without going into details it performed above and beyond for me. I should also mention at the time I was way behind on using modern monitors and the DVI display was more than enough.
