Are you aware what’s slower than a GeForce GT 1010? A GeForce GT 1010 with DDR4 reminiscence. As reported by VideoCardz (opens in new tab), Colourful has quietly launched one, which can carry out equally and even worse than trendy built-in graphics.
The GeForce GT 1010 is without doubt one of the graphics playing cards that nearly no one is aware of about. Nvidia launched the GeForce GT 1010 final 12 months utilizing a five-year-old GP108 (Pascal) die. Nvidia additionally makes use of the GP108 contained in the “sooner” GeForce GT 1030 and the chipmaker’s cell GeForce MX-series, such because the GeForce MX330 or MX250. Whereas the GP108 silicon homes as much as 384 CUDA cores, the GeForce GT 1010 solely has entry to 256 of them. Nvidia reserves the full-fledged GP108 die for GeForce GT 1030.
There are two variations of the GeForce GT 1010. Each retain the identical 256 CUDA cores, 2GB of reminiscence, and 64-bit reminiscence interface. Nonetheless, they function totally different reminiscence chips. One variant leverages GDDR5 reminiscence clocked at 6 Gbps for a reminiscence bandwidth as much as 48 GBps, whereas the opposite variant makes use of DDR4 at 2.1 Gbps for simply 16 GBps.
As with all entry-level graphics card, Colourful’s providing sticks to a single-slot design with a feeble heatsink that hardly covers half of its PCB. A slight cooling fan is in control of lively cooling. The Colourful GeForce GT 1010 has a 1,151 MHz base clock and a 1,379 MHz increase clock with a TDP ranking of simply 20W. Even the GeForce MX230, which has the identical quantity of CUDA cores, boasts larger clock speeds. Sadly, the GeForce GT 1010 DDR4 makes use of recycled dies that did not make the reduce for a cell graphics card that is already three years outdated.
We do not count on anybody to select up a GeForce GT 1010 for gaming. Nonetheless, the Pascal-powered graphics card is a possible substitute for the shortage of built-in graphics or a short lived alternative for a graphics card that instantly gone unhealthy. Or, in the event you want extra video outputs in your system, the GeForce GT 1010 does present two additional HDMI ports.
