GT1030 first test: a video card that can make the old machine full of blood!
[PConline initial evaluation] Recently, NVIDIA quietly released the GT1030, a stand-alone product for the low-end entry-level market; As we all know, NVIDIA in the high-end graphics market can be said to be invincible in the past two years, but in the entry low-end graphics card In the market, Intel and AMD have used nuclear power to suppress the misery! Rao is so, this GT1030 is still low-key release, which will inevitably lead people to think that NVIDIA alone in the low-end entry-level is still not spending too much effort, as the GT730's intergenerational successor (intermediate with Maxwell), NVIDIA Can GT1030 win a place in the low-end market alone? Still have to continue to endure the nuclear foraging? This review will give you an answer. NVIDIA GT 1030 Reference Price: Loading... Image Reviews Quote Parameter Overview Take the example of the Ishino GT1030 ITX Ares version, you can see that thanks to the extremely low thermal power design of the GT1030 (NV official claims only 30W TDP), only a small amount of fins and GPU base The composed passive cooling module can meet the heat dissipation requirements of the entire card. With the launch of the new card, some parameters of GPU-Z can't be read. It doesn't matter. We can look at the following table first. Parameter Comments: NVIDIA GT1030 uses the latest Pascal architecture, 14nm process technology, with a high core frequency of 1228MHz, also supports Boost, Boost frequency up to 1468MHz (GT730 does not support Boost); TDP is only 30W, energy efficiency is odd high! Although both use GDDR5 memory, the GT1030 has a higher memory frequency of 6008 MHz. At the same time, careful friends will also find out from the GPU-Z screenshot that the GT1030 only needs PCIe 3.0x4 channels to meet the bandwidth requirements and has good compatibility with old machines. At present, the retail price of GT1030 is 599 yuan, which is similar to that when GT730 was first listed. NVIDIA said that the GT1030 can better support DirectX12 games and applications and support 4K Ultra HD output. You can see that the GT1030 is equipped with an HDMI and a DVI-D interface to meet the needs of the average home user. The whole card size is 170 × 56 × 27mm, single card slot, completely full half-high knife card design, can be said to be very small, only touch the iPhone 7P is generally the author's large. To further understand the details of the GT1030, we dismantled it. Live Preview: DIY old drivers live with everyone to play GT1030 Which card is suitable for the game, with what CPU? Hurriedly poked in, live broadcast on May 17th at 4:00 pm. Just look at the appearance to know that this card is very easy to remove, there are only four spring screws between the PCB and the heat sink, the screw is unloaded, and the heat sink is separated. Slap-sized all-aluminum heatsinks are enough to handle the 30-watt GT1030 TDP. Only two-phase power supply is used. Since the PCB is small overall, it does not appear to be in space. Magnesium GDDR5 memory, single 1G, a total of two, a total of 2G memory capacity, memory frequency of 6008MHz. After removing the silicone grease, we saw the fingernail-sized GP108 core, code-named GP108-300-A1, with a core frequency of 1228-1468MHz, and the low-end card also supports Boost. Well, dismantled here, here's the performance test section that everyone cares about most! Test Platform Description: The test platform uses a consumer-grade platform Z270+i7 7700K top-end; at the same time, in order to more closely match the use of more users, we also added the Intel i7 7700K comes with a nuclear display HD630 for comparison; A total of six video cards were selected for comparison testing, and the drivers were the latest ones. Do not talk nonsense, direct results. Theoretical Test Summary: We used FireStrike and Sky Diver which are more suitable for the performance of GT 1030 in 3DMark theoretical performance testing. It can be seen from the histogram that the performance of GT1030 is far superior to that of the previous generation GT730 and Intel HD630. However, at the same time, there is still a gap between the GTX750 and the GTX750Ti, which is even larger than that of the GTX750Ti. Compared with the GTX1050, the gap is even greater. It should be said that it is completely intimidating to the latter's status! Let's see how the GT1030 performs in the game. Based on the positioning of GT1030, we selected several games that are more suitable for it to test it. There are popular online games "League of Legends" and "Watch Watch Pioneer". There are also large stand-alone "Tomb Raider 10" and "Warhammer: Comprehensive. "War", then both are operating in low quality. Test summary: The results are also obvious. When running two large singles with low image quality, the performance of the GT1030 is more than 40 frames, and the results are far better than those of the GT730 and Intel HD630. The results are basically consistent with the theoretical test results. And its performance in the "League of Legends" and "watch pioneer" in the two online games is very surprising, 1080P special effects under the "League of Legends" can go to 183 frames, greatly exceeding the number of perfect running frames; And in the "watch pioneer" high-quality rendering 100% can also have 47-frame performance, for a low-end entry-level independence was already very satisfactory! In order to get closer to the real-life scenarios in the player's daily applications, and also to more fully understand the power consumption advantages of the GT1030, we measured the platform power consumption in the 3DMark stress tester, game copy machine, and standby mode. Power consumption test summary: As a result, the GT1030 game consumes 122W, 89W, and 47W during standby. The overall power consumption is similar to that of the previous generation GT730, but the performance is nearly doubled, and people have to admire Pascal. The energy efficiency of the architecture is really high! The contrast set significant platform, GT1030 power consumption is only about 20W more, but it can get such a big increase in graphics performance, it can be said to be very worthwhile! Overall, this card can be a 200W power supply, need to know we test or i7 7700K+Z270 platform, the general purchase of this card users will not be equipped with such a high-end CPU, so 200W is definitely enough ! To test the extreme temperature under the male version of the radiator, we used the 3DMark FireStrike stress test program for testing. Test Summary: Complete Operation of the 3DMark FireStrike After the stress test, the maximum temperature of the GT1030 reached 83°C, which is not high. After all, this is the result of passive cooling. Moreover, we found a problem when running the stress test, that is, after reaching a certain high temperature, the GT1030 will actively lower the frequency to reduce the heat, which will directly lead to a decrease in the performance of the graphics card at this time. Fortunately, many non-public version of AIC's non-public version of the GT1030 uses active fan heat dissipation, and under long-term copying conditions, it does not reach the high temperature of 80°C+, so basically you don't have to worry about this problem. Here we use the noise meter to test the fan noise when the 3DMark FireStrike stress test program is fully loaded. Test summary: In addition, since this card is passively cooled, the noise during operation is 0 dB. About noise: Combining all of the above test results, we have compiled a comprehensive performance percentage chart. Based on the GT1030, we can see that it has a 12% performance gap with the GTX750, even more so with the GTX1050, which is almost twice as powerful as the GT1030. But when compared to the GT730 D5 and the Intel HD630, the GT1030 can be said to be completely crushed! Ladder Diagram Description: Before the integration test, we placed the GT1030 slightly inferior to the GTX750. NVIDIA GT 1030 Reference Price: Loading... Image Reviews Quote Parameter Overview In the end, we must analyze and analyze the following aspects: First look at performance, in this regard NVIDIA GT1030 can be said to have completely crushed the GT730 and all nuclear display, perfect place to replace the GT730, has become the mainstream of the N-card low-end entry-level graphics. And I think the kernel will not play any more flowers for a long time. What do you say there is Ryzen APU? If AMD's own APU nuclear performance can match GT1030, then it will inevitably endanger the positioning of their own RX550, so I think Ryzen APU will have, but it will never reach this level! Second, look at the price, NVIDIA GT1030 domestic retail price of 599 yuan, against the standard AMD RX550, but according to the author, this price is still slightly more expensive. Need to know now the cheapest GTX1050 only 800 yuan to start, plus 200 yuan can have double performance, why not? So, I think the most suitable price of GT1030 should be in the beginning of 400 yuan! Look at power consumption, no doubt, this card's power consumption is very pleasing, fully loaded but 100W, low heat, can be equipped with passive radiator, compact and no noise, very suitable for group HTPC, old machine upgrade, home office Other application scenarios. Finally, the GT1030 adopts the new Pascal architecture to better support DX12 games and applications. Take Warhammer: Total Warfare as an example. The GT1030 can turn on its DX12 mode, but GTX750Ti, GTX750, GT730 and other old cards do not support it. This was also accidentally discovered by the author during the test! Another point, GT1030 is equipped with HDMI 2.0 interface, supports 4K 60Hz video output, with better image output capabilities and compatibility. On the whole, the GT1030 is a good entry-level stand alone, this should be no need to worry about the nuclear NV will eat low-end graphics card market! Laugh~ In international practice, the non-public version of each AIC has taken a wave. ◠Grow up GT1030 Herd ◠Gigabyte GT1030 LOW PROFILE 2G ◠Colorful GT1030 Smart Shark 2G ◠GALAXY GT1030 ◠Sotec GT1030-2GD5 Thunder TSI MA Honestly, when I saw Sotec this GT1030, the author was also a little bit "shocking" ... double fan, as it? ◠MAXSUN GT1030 Transformers 2G ◠Onda GT103 0 model 2GD5 After watching the cycle, basically all of AIC's GT1030 products have adopted active fan cooling, so you don't have to worry about overheating and downshifting. Goose goose... I say, I really like it better. Half-height passive cooling GT1030 knife card! (Because this can fully reflect the advantages of ultra-low power consumption of GT1030, do you not think?)
