Considering a 6600 scores about 400 in time spy, so this will do about 800. An A10-7890K with 2400 memory will do about 700. (7870K with 1866 does 661). I don't really see this as a useful product. I guess if you pair if with something older, like a quad 775 or a workstation that the CPU has no iGPU, it would be OK.
... or a $1000 creative production machine, which only needs this for basic acceleration in Photoshop and Premiere Pro. And as a bare minimum for comfortable 4K productivity.
You, guys, with your stereotypes and rusty imagination... :nutkick:

Besides, who doesn't love cards designed to compete with integrated graphics cards?

I mean, right guys?

LOL, RTB. Sometimes it is a necessary evil. For example, I am not quite ready to upgrade my wife's workstation, but do realize that her graphics could use a boost.

The decision to buy it or not of course is leveraged on whether or not the price for the nvidia 1030/ AMD 550 fits.

But couldn't an integrated GPU can almost fill it's shoes?

Not if you want lag and tearing during scrolling.
I was wondering the same thing, when upgrading 10+ PCs in a webdev office recently. All machines had iGPU, and all of them got an eventual upgrade to GT730/740 to handle FHD dual/triple display(and few 4K workstations for photo editing) and a little boost in OpenCL/CUDA acceleration.

Good point. Here at work, the Intel iGPU 630 on our 7700k's was not up to task with handling 3 displays at 1080p although advertised as such. My coworker finally said eff it and bought a a low end card to supplement the iGPU.

AMD 550 beats 1030 quite easily and 560 simply decimates 750Ti in majority of benchmarks.

Yeah that ROP+memory bandwidth really keep this thing down. This card should be more like 50-60€ range as is predecessor gt730. It seems to start at ~80€ in Germany right now which is much too much.

GTX750ti is EOLed, so who cares. RX560 and gtx1050 have quite same performance and have priced very close.

Couldn't find the article, but I've read that PCI-e x1 devices can negotiate power draw up to 25W. 6W on 12V rail is the base "safe" limit.
There were both PCIe x4 and x1 GT730 cards based on GK208 chips (Only x4 in retail, and x1 was a Zotac OEM variant exclusive to some Dell workstations).
I've only seen those once in the local refurb server parts store. Nice little card.

I've got a Dell (Asus-manufactured) 8400 GS (yeah, ancient) which is half-height and PCIe x1, and that GPU draws 40W, so I reckon that GT 1030 should definitely be able to fit into that form factor.

560 vs 750ti is kinda useless since

A.) the 750ti has long been replaced with the more powerful 1050ti

B.) the 560 is not available in a low profile varient, unlike the nvidia cards.

And while the 550 is better then a 1030, that isnt saying much. This market position is all about what is cheapest, not what is most capable.

I only have to say one thing: LP GTX1050Ti.
1030 is decent, but only if you are absolutely broke.


But, the manufacturers still do it.
What makes it even more confusing, is 25W limitation for HHFL cards. According to spec they should be limited to 25W max, and be limited to 167mm in length, but over the past 5-6 years we had a range of devices with 28-70W power constraints and length varying from 165 to 180mm.
...a-a-a-and few minutes later I found a possible loophole:roll:

If you make it 69mm wide - it qualifies as a full-height card according to spec and can use moar powa-a-a-a-a.
But for the sake of marketing, we are gonna call it LP.

Though, there are some cards that are actually 68.9mm wide.... :shadedshu:
It makes my brain hurt.... This is more confusing than reading haiku without translation :banghead:
I don't need a 1050Ti. It is literally overkill.
