Wow, I honestly thought this would not be much of a difference but that is significant even for such a low end card.

first benchmarks are out for it... https://www.techspot.com/review/1658-geforce-gt-1030-abomination/
less than half performance of original gddr5 gt 1030, and it costs the same price... even at 720p resolutions btw... lolol.... how Nvidia gets away with this, oh wait thats right, 70% market share for several years running and no competition, they can mess up as many times as they won't and no one will blink an eye.

Honestly I am surprised Nvidia doesn't get sued over stuff like this. How hard would it have been to name it the gt 1020... heh

Seing some reviews on the Internets, looks like anything bellow a 1050 Ti are pure garbage cards. Seriously, the integrated GPU on all modern CPUs are WAY BETTER than those shitty cards.

The 2400G APU barely matches the GDDR5 1030 in the best cases, so you have the 2200G, all other APUs and all Intel CPUs under it.

It's still not that bad if you have a freesync monitor and have a lot of games on backlog still to play... which 95% of us do.
