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

2 GT 1030's = RTX 2060

It's 2021. The only graphics cards in stock are the GT 710, GT 730 and GT 1030, making the GT 1030 the best GPU by default. Dawid- 0 GT 1030- 1

I have a “gaming” system with a DDR5 GT 1030, and I’m pretty happy with the performance. I’m probably not the best reviewer though due to my previous computer having Intel HD 300 integrated graphics, which does mean that I see 30fps at low settings 720p as amazing performance.

"Please, nobody use 4k at 30hz" You should talk to my dad.

Picking up a 1030 for $28 😎 used market rocks

AH YES, now i can sell this in a System and call it a 'geforce gaming machine' XD

I would like to see a RU-vid video title that’s “trying to over clock my GT 710 to the speed of an RTX 3090”

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.

That good old GT ten thiddy :P

To say that the gt1030 a “crappy Nvidia card” is a bit misleading, the GDDR5 one is perfect for upgrading lower-end small form factor PCs, and a great budget card for people who only buy new stuff

I upgraded my Acer XC605 from GT705 to GT1030 for eSports. The only card that fitted the mi i-ATX casing was this so I went to buy one. Frankly I am really pleased with the 1030 for that and video viewing.

I fall into your single 4k monitor use case! Thanks for making the video to help me confirm my decision.

Everyone I know with a 1030 uses it for gaming. Usually people with SFF machines. I don't see why anyone would buy a 1030 for general use.

Also note that the GT 1030 has modern video hardware acceleration features.

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 think I’ll still go with the 1030 because I do need it for light gaming on games like battlefront but thanks for the comparison

It's like comparing 2002 Opel Corsa to 2004 Nissan Micra Yeah, both works

GT ten thutty? 😀

the reason I'm considering this is because I want a cheap esports/older games pc, and anything higher end than the 1030 would be useless because it would be cpu bond by the old i3 in this office pc

you talked about the gtx 1650 in the end and well, the prices has really just been flinged into the air as some of the cards are now getting sold at a staggering 600$

"Don't run a monitor at 30hz" i had to take a displayport cable from one of my dads 4k monitors to run my monitor at 144fps, and the only other cable i had was an hdmi 1.4, so he runs one of the monitors at 30hz. I don't think he's noticed, and if he has it doesnt bother him lol

Also, the DVI on the 10:30 and be split to to support dual displays out of a single plug.

Seriously though, Nice Review Dawid for 2020 considering the cards here. Thanks 🤗

question:Should you pay twice as much for the gt 1030? answer:yes '-'

i feel like the gt 710 should have a successor using turing that is a little better than the 1030. I know they can do it, power draw wise, because they have a pascal mx150 that is 10W and can almost match the 1030. the gt 710 is 19W

Paid 40EUR from my used GT 1030 GDDR5, OC'd to +200/+470, a great HTPC card and runs games fine wit low details. Good ol' 2600K @ 4.5 as a CPU.

Jesus, my buddy just bought a GT1030 for $190. And the RX560’s are going for $400 😂

The pronunciation of 1030 as "ten thiddy" is making this video so much more gangster than it has any right to be. I like your stuff Dawid keep it coming ;)

Over the year i did exactly that. Made a mistake getting a 1030 then upgradrd to the 560 off of amazon

On the GT1030 here, wouldn't care if you make fun of me since i don't need new hardware to enjoy games.

I actually have a GT 710, for extra monitor ports (quad monitor setup with a GTX 1080 and I like to keep the HDMI port free for VR). Also, VGA is nice to have. Just in case, as well as being able to use a DVI to HDMI adapter on the GT 710. So it's a great second card if you just want some extra display outputs.

I recently got a GT 1030 GDDR5 version brand new from my local microcenter for just $60 (it was on clearance as they were dumping some of their old stock), and for the purpose in which I used it, I would say it's simply amazing. 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 RU-vid 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.

1030's 4k support would make it viable as a media box for use with a 4k tv. Of course I would bet the average person who has a 4k tv and doesn't game isn't watching this channel

I recently converted an old Dell server into a 'gaming PC' (I had an incredibly tight budget) and it made a lot more sense to buy a used 760 than to buy either of these cards. The TDP meant a new power supply but I still spent less than buying one of these new, and the gaming performance is a fair bit better.

Had a perfect use case for 2 x Gt 1030s a couple of years ago. Wife got some old i5s from her work with 8GB DDR3 ram. My boys had 720p monitors. But they wanted to play latest games. At 720p almost every single game they played were butter smooth. And I picked them up brand new, at the time, for the equivalent of $65.

finally found my layer of gpus that i can afford and discuss and not die inside cause i cant even get close to it

my gt1030: Hehehe ok I WAS DESPERATE TO GET SOMETING BETTER THAN MY iGPU HD4600!! IM SORRY!

Congratulations on passing 69,420 subscribers! 🥳 🎉 It’s a truly important day

Your use case at the end of the video... It's exactly what I'm doing with a HP SFF. Nice.

Wow... about to hit 200K subs. I think you had about 1000 when I first subbed! Well done!

Once again Dawid makes me smile. (with added knife and cheese)

4:35 yeah crazy right who still uses a vga port in 2019 xd xd xd *actually only has vga in home*

Good compare. Are thous has NVENC encoder ? Is this card helping for basic video editing?

Funny enough, my friend has an old workstation pc and uses integrated graphics for games like valorant, csgo, and other esports titles, and I think this would actually be a good upgrade for him

Well, I got low profile hp desktop with Core 2 Quad CPU for basicaly nothing which I use as a HTPC. Then I upgraded my tv to a 4K model and suddenly, buying 1030 does not sound as such a bad idea.

ALMOSY AT 70K SUBS!!! KEEP UP WITH THE INTERESTING CONTENTS!

do a vid on gt 1010 when it gets released

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

I bought a RX 470 for $75, the seller had like 40 of them in a whole mining rig and sold them for $50 but I had to pay shipping so it came out to $75, after some cleaning I'm pretty happy with it, huge step up from gt 710. I was also thinking about flashing the BIOS to a 570. I heard the 570 just had higher clock speeds

gt 1030 is a gaming card, gt 710 is a cpu intergrated graphic on a card

2:26 I have i3 9100f with GT 1030 and on csgo ( 1080P LOW ) I get 190fps. 🤷

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

I still play on a gt 1030 :(

The 1030 got me into PC gaming! I bought a used i3 550 pc for £50, then added a 1030 and found it could play games. Discovered Borderlands and the rest is history. Could even play Doom at 720p!

"Layoff the strong cheese at night..." 😂

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.

My son has one in his slim Dell and as you demonstrate, it plays e-sports games just fine.

Gt 1030 gddr5 is actually really good

Hey man I hear that accent my fellow South African good to see some SA youtubers

i just got into pc gaming so ik these are older videos but i appreciate your content either way you make learning fun im building an optiplex 3020 i just put the 1030 inside my old pc and its not bad as i only play mx bikes and some older jrpgs but would an rx 460 work in my i5 dell OptiPlex? i see it really performs well

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.

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.

So, I'm looking at upgrading from an ASUS EN8600 GT 512mb silent to either of these. Was thinking 710 as my motherboard is just PCIE 2.0. The 8600 still works well on my i7 860 PC though. Good idea to upgrade?

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?

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.

"jiti tenthiddy" "thiddy hetz desplay"

What do you think about the 5700 xt thicc3?

Nice review ! iI have a Question. GT 710 1GB can use QHD monitior ?

keep hearing "ten fiddy"

not to flex but i can run payday 2 on with the second lowest resolution and the lowest graphic settings.

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

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.

the thing is that im watching you playing games like cyberpunk and i just want a 1030 build for lol and csgo

What?? How dare you compare the 1030 to this beast that is the 710, you should do a more fair comparison like the 2080ti for example !

I know this is waaaay late but, can you suggest me which GPU is good for an old Dell Optiplex 790 SFF potato? thanks in advance!

I hocked up gt710 and it showed me the blue screen on startup and beeped 3 times before going off. Do you know why? I have the HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1060 Desktop PC

I love my GT-710, it's such a little fighter and can do way more than people say it can :D

"No body uses these cards for gaming" Me who used the 710 and now the gt1030 for gaming: :( Also uses a dvi to vga adaptor

I was looking to buy a GTX 750 Ti for my HP 3500 mt. It's not available on amazon, should I look elsewhere for it or go for the 710? Im looking for something that can reasonably run War Thunder

hello..can dell optiplex 990 sff use gt 1030 for live streaming ???

Playing my Skyrim still at. 100 FPS at medium settings so the 1030 is good in my book

videos after videos, I feel like you love the GT710. wake up bro, love makes you blind :)

Thanks. You just saved my day. I just bought a Ryzen 9, 5900x and wanted the cheapest graphics card to boot the system till I get to buy one of the latest ones. I was thinking GT 710, but then I have a 4K monitor and definitely I need 4K @ 60Hz.

Came here ready to defend my purchase for exactly that card for exactly that pc. Left a subscriber.👌

used is love used is life

"ten fitty"

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.

6:10 begins describing my situation almost perfectly

yeaaa .... gt 1030 suckss . (starts crying in Gt 540m ) yeaaaa .... gt 1030 is bad.

GT 710 was the best selling graphics card/ display adapter on Brasil (2019), selling 3 times more than the gt 1030 (5th place)

You could always try to find the vapour-ware that is the GT 1010.

Hi Dawid, for pro video editing GT1030 or GT 710. I'm not use for gaming. Which is better? Thanks in advance.

Freaking love you man

I keep hearing "1050". anyone else?

I'm using msi h510m pro-e mother board, intel pentium g6400. Is gt1030 gddr5 compatible to my setup? Please answer me because i'm planning to buy a graphics card and i don't have that enpugh budget.😥

can you run them both together? im attempting that right now

No GT 1010 available, I'm so disappointed nvidia. XD

Who still watching in 2024??

Hey, the gpu with pci x8 works fine on a mobo with pci-e x16? or i need an adapter? it's a Palit gt 710

Thank you for the video! Would you recommend a budget video card for HP 800G1 SFF which is with i5 and 8GB RAM and would it make any difference at all?
