What a shit graph it doesnt even tell what kind of RAM he is using.

This is great news, more attention to their low power range in the form of improved wattage requirements, heat generation, profile and noise is a very good thing.

This will be the current go-to card for HTPCs until they come out with a low-profile passive 1050.

>>60308603
Exactly what I'd want it for: Hardware video decoding on an HTPC. With hardware decode, you'd get smooth playback on a decade-old, entry-level CPU.

Fans == noise. Noise ruins movies. Fuck fans.

My 14yr old son has been asking to a gaming PC for Overwatch, finally an affordable GPU option.

>>60308783
at this point i can't tell if you're trolling or not so i'll let you be retarded

>>60308883
Passive is overrated. A much better solution for a system is a single, large, low RPM fan that's too quiet to be audible but moves enough air to be miles ahead of what passive cooling can do.

>>60308883
>>60308943

Kinda what the other guy said, I'd assume your movies make sound, and that your PC case would muffle even loud fans to some degree and also not be anywhere near you. If this thing is purely for media it shouldn't be very close to you and should just have a long ass HDMI cable to your TV.

>>60308888
Don't do it bastard. You will ruin his PC experience for at least a few years. At least get him a 1050ti/RX560.

>>60308943
>Passive is overrated

If it works then how is it overrated? Not only is it silent it involves less moving parts to go wrong in the long term.

So, if the passive cooling solution is sufficient to cool the device then it isn't overrated, it is actually ideal.

>>60309000
How much more is that and what will he gain?

>>60308551
WILL IT BE A PILE OF SHIT THOUGH?

GT610 can't even do Steam Big picture mode UI at 1080p/60fps
If this can do that at 4K/60fps - it's probably a good choice for a HTPC upgrade from GT210.

>>60308581
That's a shitload more money for an upgrade though, new board, ram and CPU is far more than new GPU.
More underclocked core2 htpc will live on.

The RX560 isn't out just yet but it should be around 120$ and offer adequate 1080p performance. The RX550 is also in the price range of the GT1030 and should outperform it by a lot.

But it's the primo choice for HTPC upgrades.

I learned the hard way that budget Nvidia GPUs are absolute garbage (had a GT640 that could BARELY do 1080 low). I should have gotten the then similar priced HD7770 (or something like that) which greatly outperformed it but I fell hard for the more VRAM meme.
Avoid the GT1030 Nvidia GPUs at all cost.

I believe Pascal are better.

For Fermi, Kepler and Maxwell, though, they had planned obsolescence built into them. They look good in benchmarks when released, but they're made so that they won't run upcoming games in development that Nvidia is working with developers on for shit.
A 770 and 960 can't even handle a highly optimized game like BF1 at 1080p high. It's fucking pathetic. The 960 isn't that old.

>>60309158
My post outright says not to buy it for gaming or desktop use.
HTPC use is a very different scenario though.

That's what this card is for - HTPC upgrades.

The anon asked if it was good for his son so he could play Overwatch, so I advised it online relation to gaming.

>>60309158
Why exactly would you buy a Low Budget GPU to do 1080p gaming?! When you get these, you're supposed to think about the previous generation's level of performance, it's the best way not to dissapoint yourself.

It'd do overwatch at 720p on midlow settings.

>>60309195
That's probably because of very low amount of VRAM. If I remember correctly the 770 and 960 both were 2GB, so that wouldn't surprise me at all.

>>60309231
Wasn't really my choice, the HD7770 was out of stock, had a very small budget and I needed a GPU NOW because old one broke.

>>60309248
AMD GPUs with the same amount of VRAM are fine. Stop fucking spreading that misinformation.

My 7970 only has 3GB. It performs better than the 3.5GB 970 in lots of games now days.

I wasn't spreading any misinformation, just speculating on why the cards suddenly perform like crap on a modern game.
If it is Nvidia'planned obsolescence, I am sure as hell happy I got a R9 290.

>>60309314
Why? Is it because nvidia gimps their cards?

>>60309235
The GT 730 already does that. Low/Med at 720p and at 55-60 FPS. I think that in the worst case scenario, the GT 1030 should perform just like a GTX 750/RX 550/GT 740 or a bit better.

>>60309345
It's not meant for gaming, it's probably meant for workstations that don't need gpu power but need to be able to run multiple high resolution monitors

>>60309376
Can't most intergrated graphics do it out of the box though? It seems like if all you needed was a GPU for your purpose a gtx 710 would do.

Id check out this video. https://youtu.be/xp6ltBCMDCE

>>60309594
>not buying used hardware

How much will it cost? Seems great for family builds. While waiting on the next gen APUs

>>60309359
It's going to be slightly less powerful than the RX 550, but nobody will be using it to play gaymes anyway.

>>60309594
>These retards don't seem to understand PCs can be used for things other than gaming. Every time something is released these faggots go "can it run crysis? why would anyone buy it?"

Yeah, it's like some people don't realize that not everyone uses their computer just to play games and shitpost on 4chan. You probably need to be quite close minded if you fail to realize that people use their computers for different tasks and thus have different needs for hardware/software.

>>60308662

>Mfw this card and the RX 550 show up in cyberbuypower "gaming PCs" a few weeks from now

>mfw dell and HP won't use this card in their workstation designs

The shitty thing is, a lot of the people who would use this card need it to have quadro level driver support. Without that, the market for this really is basically limited to the upgrade circuit.

I dont know about you peasants, but I merged my HTPC and living room gaming PC long ago, so it still needs a better GPU than this.

>>60309965
The cheapest is at U$S 79.99 on Amazon, around 20-30 dollars less than the GTX 1050/RX 460.

Useless garbage, that's what it is.

>>60308595
The simple fact that it's fanless makes it really appealing. Only 2GB of RAM and just two connectors is a deal-breaker so I don't know who it's for.

I guess it's like my GeForce GT 710 with 1GB RAM, it's fine for connecting a screen to change the BIOS or recover if something breaks once every few years (put in in a server with no iGP just to get a text picture, it was the cheapest PCI-e card I could order).

>>60308645
Not if it doesn't have a iGP.

>>60308869
It's better than the rebrandeon 570 and 580s who are just 470s and 480s with a higher clock and more heat and higher power usage, I'll give'em that.

Yeah the RX 460 is good at $65 for low budget games (CS:GO, LoLetc..). But its 4GB version is about 25% less powerful than the 1050ti. Therefore the $15 more is kinda worth it, unless you have a build specified to AMD then go for the RX 460.

If the system has a bunch of case fans and/or a loud PSU and/or five mechanical harddrives then yeah, passive is overrated. But when you have a small fully functional home server that's so silent you have to look at the light on it to tell if it's on or off then it's absolutely not overrated.

But an RX 460 is perfectly fine nevertheless, all comes down to preference.

fuckhuge passive cpu cooler probs

All the people ITT bitching about the upcoming 1030 are retarded. This card isn't meant for high end or even mid level gaming performance. It's meant for people who want multiple screens, or at most, play Facebook tier games. Passive cooling for this card will be fine. I threw a passively cooled GT210 into my sisters PC and it sits at 45C even under load. Plays her Minecraft shit just fine too.

The important question here is cost. How much will the one in OPs pic be? I love the full coverage passive heatsink. If it's sub $80, I'm sold for my HTPC/server.

But if you want video outputs there are $25 GPU

And if you're buying a 4k 120hz display you're going to have 2 1080tis, and if you're buying a 5k display you'll have a high end or workstation GPU for production workloads

No it's not.

4GB RX470 is fine.
4GB 960 is not.
Stop lying, you tech illiterate fucktards. AMD cards work fine when VRAM starved.

>>60308551
How fast are they? I'm thinking of a 1030 or 550 for my HTPC. Currently running a 560Ti.

I need a 4K output and it would be great if the card could render ME3 in native 4K (Requires GTX 670 performance).
>>60308618
I saw 1050s around 75 € already. I don't want a powerful GPU, I have 1070 SLI for 4K gaming. This one is more backup and 4K output for a TV.

>>60308673
>>60317972
One interesting thing about AMD is ZeroCorePower. My HTPC runs 24/7 for downloading, and I bet the Ti alone draws 40 W idle when the screen is turned off.

>>60317972
Supposedly around the level of a 750Ti.

>>60318119
I just saw it has only 384 shaders. Is the RX 550 any better? Or even a RX460? A passive one would be perfect.

>>60317972
If you already have a 1070 SLI system you may have more luck with streaming a game in 4K over a local Gbit connection than running it on very slow cards. I haven't tried it though, I don't have a 4K TV, just a 4K monitor.

Dont waste money on these

>>60318184
I'm planning to 'stream' it via 10m HDMI. I want a 4K TV but don't own one yet, I currently use a 1080p screen as a TV.

It should be switchable, I'll also try to get some kind of switchable USB HUB so I can use the same peripherals in my bed so I just need to change the video signal. My 4K station will only serve for gaming and high-performance tasks (rendering), but the secondary ITX build should output 4K as well. Its also nice to have backup card. I couldn't use the 560 for my primary screen as it only has Displayport and no iGPU.

>>60318232
>10m HDMI
You might need a decent cable if you want 10m HDMI for 4K 60Hz. I tried like 3 random no-name cables and couldn't get stable 4K 60Hz, the monitor would keep flickering at that resolution or wouldn't display anything at all. I finally bought a more expensive cable (still no-name basically) and this one works fine. This was only for 1.5-2m too.

Manbabbys need to leave this board.
Everything is FPS this, and bottleneck that, now. Most of the people who post here just come to argue about gaming performance in one way or another. I wish something could be done.

if anything it's the other way around
you don't need a high end cpu for gaming, you just need a recent one

I'm now strongly considering upgrading my HTPC, which is currently using a 6450 or some shit like that because it was the last decent passive card

>>60318132
why the fuck do you need more shaders if you just want it for a HTPC

For transparency effects everywhere

the difference between cpu's alot of the time depends on the game. something more open world like planetside 2, fallout 4 and gta v will show a larger gap in frame rate when it comes i3, i5 and i7 like cpu's.

>>60319269
just looking at a few, the thing that separates them is whether they have heavy physics/physx use or not
more cores helps then, but even in those cases performance rolls off past the i5
if you don't have the money to get the best of everything, you'd be better off putting more into your gpu than getting a higher end cpu

Nvidia has similar. They both use VERY little power at idle, for youtube, etc.

Nope the RX550 should be equal. 1030 or 550 are both good choices from what I can tell from the specs compared to their bigger counterparts.
The RX560 should be faster than the 1050Ti on average.

RX460 is cut down from the RX560 so significantly slower. like 30%.
The problem is the price of the RX550 and what I assume the 1030 price will be. They should both be <$50 but they're not. They're both cards that are only 2.5-3.5x better than an intel iGPU. So not very powerful at all. The G4560 comes with an iGPU for the price of these cards.. less even. Even if it's a bit weaker. The only point of them is if you need dual 4K monitors or, or 6 1080p monitors in the case of the RX550, as cheap as possible. They are poor gaming value.

What the literal FUCK is this braindead junk of a benchmark?

I got a core i5 4690 non K edition with a HD 4600 clocked at 1300 MHz and 2133 MHz RAM. In CS:GO at full HD with everything dumbed down, I reach as much as 250 fps average on new maps.

What the fuck?
