    Phoronix: NVIDIA Introduces Low-Profile GeForce GT 1030

    For those looking for a low-profile, single-slot graphics card for an HTPC box or so, more of them should be hitting the market in the form of NVIDIA's new GeForce GT 1030...

    What's currently the most powerful / recent low-profile card from AMD?

      Stay a bit expensive, this card dont be cost more than 60us

      However Michael could be possible compare with previous gen card replacement aka GT730/630 and compare too with GTX 750 non ti? (because expect closer performance to GTX 750 non ti)

        There are RX 550 also RX 460 that is probably fastest.

        This GT 1030 is vs RX 550 i think... but only interesting one to me as it is 30W so it can be low profile but passive too like this, that is something i didn't saw for AMD models

          If this (passive cooled) is even close to rx 550 in benchmarks I will buy it asap.

            Advertising goes as 2X perf of iGPU of i5 6600 tested on i3 6100 so might figure it out




            While AMD advrtised up to 5X to HD 530:




            That up to 5X in practice means 3X on average or on Linux the same 2X as GT 1030 advertised

              I doubt because nvidia normally have better performance per shader compared with amd shader for this reason in shader performance maybe stay closer

              One interesting thing in GT 1030 is higher frecuency compared RX550 (around 1183mhz in RX550 vs around 1468 in GT 1030)

              But GT 1030 have only 8 rops same quantity present in GT 630/730 GK208 meanwhile RX550 have 16 rops

              In tmu side GT 1030 have minor units but is only 8 units of diference (24 tmus in GT 1030 vs 32 in RX550)

              However this card dont compete with RX550 because have different prices and memory configurations (DDR5 64bit on GT 1030 vs DDR5 128bit on RX550)

              Main goal of this card maybe stay focus on htpc, however stay a bit expensive

              Without forget cut vga port, this could be problematic if you want refresh old pc (however hdmi-vga converter stay in market but add more cost to initial buy)

              Maybe RX 540/530 could must be amd chip for compete with GT 1030

                There is OC passive, so this might be like RX 550 as i guess price for that much alu might be exact as price point of RX 550

                  hell both rx 460 and rx 550 have a low profile version practically unvailable in europe besides germany, and i bet my ass i will buy nvidia this time because of this.

                    Nvidia has positioned it - and is marketing it as such - as an upgrade for those with integrated graphics and not a "gaming card", so it really makes no sense to think of it as a gaming upgrade except in the sense that you'd be going from "totally worthless" to "a little bit better". Unfortunately, these cards are useless for Linux HTPC users at this time because the Nvidia drivers for Pascal are broken and don't have working VDPAU for anything above 1080P and no HEVC at all, making it useless for next-gen video stuff. Nvidia ceased VDPAU development last year and replaced it with NVDECODE (formerly known as NVCUVID), which isn't functional yet and isn't used by anything except mpv media player, which doesn't work very well above 1080P. My 1050 TI should be able to handle 4K video with little effort, yet I can't get the same experience at 4K that I do at 1080P, so the card is going in a Windows PC after I pick up one of these to replace it in my Linux box.
