It's quite nice that the GT1030 can Overclock even in an SFF PC... Really goes to show how efficient Pascal is as an architecture.
You literally watch all the tech channels I do.
Budget-Builds Official Seriously, you're everywhere.
I'm not sure about OC vs self boosting. I set the slider to lowest speed and it says 1322mhz but runs at 1582mhz. Max speed is 1688mhz but runs at 1948mhz, maybe its because it is running over 20c cooler than it expects?
MLG Dew at least he do similar content
alpha I know, I'm subscribed to him.
I've always used low end card so when the 1030 released I was quite happy, this, this just make me love it even more
i know it's a really really late reply.. just want to say that im a fan of Low profile / Low power GPU too! good to know that there's also someone who likes Low Powered GPU 👍👍
@@wallruss2962 I passed mine to my cousin who got a SFF pc and he loves it. he plays a lot of racing games and had to deal with stutter becouse of the integrated graphics but with this little card, now games run smooth as butter. My little 1030 will keep making people happy for years to come
@@Soortes wow, thats a quick-quick reply considering that this is a 3 years-old comment... yea dude those Low powered gpus are a very good deal for Old / Sff PCs
@@wallruss2962 lol i was watching some tech videos so i got an instant notification. I hope we can get a new low-end card this generation as 1030s are overpriced now and 1050ti LP cards are as rare as a unicorn... in my country 1030s have rocketed to double the price. yikes
@@Soortes in my country the 1050 ti costs for about 120-130$ ( used ) And 170$ ( New ) .. its kinda overpriced for me .. same thing happened with the gt 1030. The new Low profile gt 1030 costs 100$.... although there's the 1650 LP edition, Its still overpriced for the new one ( 190-200$). so yeah we really need more Low profile card for more options :(
Very nice way to approach the overclocking of a GPU! I haven't seen this way of showing things before
+Seecker Gaming Cheers :D
Going for memory and gpu core individually at first and finishing off with a total is the right approach to test gpu oc.
one of the most information rich channels on UA-cam, really helping me pick parts for my 9yr old brother's Bday present
Your not alone, I'm picking parts for 12yr old daughters bday pressie lol
WyDo then you are a great parent if you're doing this for your kid
WyDo take used 750ti but it could be hard to find at low cost
Thanks alpha, PhilsComputerLab found me a GT1030 link at a good price so I've bought a Zotac GT1030 :)
So lucky my b'day was on june and no one bought me anything my sister did not my mother did not and i don't even have a graphics vard
Maybe on US market gt 1030 doesn't make sense considering that gtx 1050 costs 114 dollars which is better value than gt 1030. In my country, the cheapest Gtx 1050(non ti) goes for around 135 dollars which is quite expensive. Gt 1030 can be found at around 72 dollars. This card is GOLDEN especially with this level of OC potential
100dollar for gt 1030
180$ for gtx 1050 here i* morocco
It's $75 and $130 here.
Momiji 160 dollars, dude. Screw miners
75€ and 150€ here in Hungary
1030 - 95 dollars
1050 - 145 dollars
1050ti - 180 dollars
India.
Nice! GT1030 really is an awesome little card. Remember everyone, your OC results may vary! Thanks to the silicon lottery :)
i like your retro pc video sir, and this gt 1030 review is great too
Just got a new computer and this card perfect timing
You're OC results were impressive, and this is a low wattage card, available for $70... I'm gonna pick one up... thanks for the video... YOU ROCK!
Glad I could help
Not too bad for a little budget card.
1050 costs like a rx 570 in my region lol
great video covers what and how you did it good detail settings
Been undecided what card to use in my mini itx and I think I have just decided! Thank you very much and a very very nice video layout, you’ve gained a new subscriber 👍🏽
I found this video just after installing a GT1030 on a HP 8200, I5-2400, so I've over clocked the card with MSI's tool using your approach and it performed much better. Thanks
I picked up a 1030 after your initial video with it. Cannot be happier. Was an excellent pairing with my g4560 cpu seeing as i don't play a lot of super graphically intense games, and it'll definitely hold me over until christmas/boxing day sales :)
Good to see that your breaking the wall for your subscribers, very good efforts.
Yes, I was looking for this. Thanks sir.
I just bought this card for my HP SFF machine, unfortunately I just learned that it didn't support Windows Vista, I had to re-install the machine, upgrade it to Windows 7, after that it performed much better than previous display cards. Before GT1030 I used ATI Radeon HD 2900XT/5450 to play Far Cry, they both couldn't run it smoothly, but now it improved significantly with GT1030, I'm planning to install Crysis later.
you gave me a heart attack when i heard that sound LMAO 3:51
2:07 Shiiiet that was so close not even my hand could have stand between xD
+Crestom XYZ LOL :D
Awww, that's cute!
Perfect card to turn old dell office machines with low volt MB/PSU and slim cases into a budget gaming machine. Otherwise there are better options for same or lower price.
Great video Phil! This is a very cheap card, could be useful for a upgrade! Thank you!
Really well made video. However i would've loved seeing temps included.
I did the same upgrade a few weeks ago to a Lenovo M71 Edge SFF (I found one in the trash at work without RAM or HDD)
Replaced the Pentium G-630 with an i5-2400, put in 8 gigs RAM, a 2 TB HDD and the Gigabyte GT 1030 LP passive cooled. (I was considering a GTX1050 LP, but since this little PC only has a 170W PSU, I choose not to push it) This thing can now play every game, and draws about 100W from the wall when pushed at gaming. The GT 1030 is an awesome card that can be used even in SFF and passive cooled. (even passive cooled, I have a push it really hard/long to hit 70 C)
Good video.... Nice to know that a little OC can give this little card up to 15% more performance. At that speed it will be in the GTX 750 Ti performance area - at less than half the power!
+1 fps boost!
respect+
every frame matters
Great video. Excellent budget card.
Thank you for doing this video, I was wondering when someone would go in depth with GT 1030 overclocking, it's not too bad overclocked.
same ram, cpu and gpu. but am not sure about overclocking
The Gt 1030 is showing up to be a pretty decent card. Unlike some of the 7 series cheapies that really missed the mark.
+Masticina Akicta I believe Nvidia launched it in response to an AMD card? Was it the RX 550?
Yeah, but the RX 460/560 at 915mhz is the better performer at the same watts. I imagine an underclocked 1050 would be the same.
I got a gt710 for 15$, it was actually cheaper than a vga to hdmi converter cable, and since no longer using integrated graphics it freed up some system ram on my 1 stick only mobo.
That must be a really old board. Well in that case it has an use. At least it supports modern video codecs.
The GT 1030 is basically the replacement for the 750/750Ti.
Until now the x30 cards used to be cheap multimedia cards with chips recycled from 3 gens prior.
A true oc warrior.
During the darkest of gamers times, the 1030 really coming in clutch during the shortage
Lmao no doubt. I don't run anything recent (Diablo III lately) and it runs that flawlessly.
Nice review...now definitely am going for that card!💜🙃
If you are looking for a fast answer 1688 gpu boost clock and 7210 MHz memory clock
Thank you
Thank you for this video! I had been putting off buying a video card due to the rise in prices, but this a pleasant surprise at a good price point...The GTX 1050 Ti I purchased a few years ago for my Son's build cannot be found below double the price I paid then!!!
I can't get my fan to work on mine does anyone have any solutions? oh and my pc isn't the one where u can install a disc for this stuff. Oh wait how do I install that thing where u controlled the fan speed?
Just bought a GT 1030 for my budget gaming PC build. Gonna do a 10-15% overclock on it to play some games I love to play like Borderlands. Now I see the great performance the GT 1030 has and I can't wait till I get mine in the mail
In my experience, the lower spec nVIDIAs can be pushed pretty well with overclock, I had a 1050-Ti which is the next step up from this one and it was perfectly happy with 30% on the memory and 25% on the CPU before it started misbehaving. By the way, the RX550 was a very similar price to the 1030 and offered slightly better performance and was also quite amenable to overclocking. Both cards may be bottom of the barrel, but they actually give quite respectable performance in 1080p if you lower the settings. My 980-Ti? Even 5% causes it to get unstable, I really lost the silicon lottery with that card!
I still have to this day and it's an advantage that it is a card that has a very low wattage and a decent temps while gaming so it's not hard to cool down especially when you have a decent cooling system.
Its not for gaming really, its a display OUT card for web browsing and watching YT and even at that it sucks balls.
I got one for my backups PC, in my main PC i have a proper 3090, in my backup i had 980Ti and i dont game tehre so using it is waste of electricity, but with 1030 when i open task manager the GPU load is always at 99% and thats just browsing web in firefox
I could OC memory to +920MHz which is almost 25% on MSI afterburner with a total of 7900+ MHz. With +1000 (max) starts artifacting. And core to +220, +240 is unstable
I got this card 2 days ago nice timing on the video YAY !!
I overclocked an old 6450 (silent had to add a small fan with screws on heatsink) just for fun, wow 25% clock inrease.
6-9 fps gain for games like Art of rally, Mayhem Brawler making them playable at 30fps.(720p/1080p)
it gave me 30 fps more on DOOM eternal :D
Overclocked my Zotac 1030 with MSI afterburner +205 CPU and +602 memory, now have 60fps average in FH4 low settings (had between 25-32)
I use +175mhz core clock and +680 memory clock.
I have the same pc. Hp elite 8300 SF with core i5 3470, 12GB RAM, 1TB WD Blue and the exact same GT 1030(GIGABYTE). I have never overclocked my GPU but I have noticed games like Titanfall 2 and Mass effect Andromeda not running properly in windows 10 and was unplayable. However when I switched back to windows 7 I could play them on high settings without any problem. I think you might get a few more fps with this setup if you use windows 7 in it.
Is this even worth it with the fan on 100% just for 6 fps...
I stick around for the music at the end...LOL.
Nice :)
Just got one to my HTPC. Awesome little card.
very good , clear, straight to the point video, congratulation, very enjoyable
64 bits interface really loves memory overclocks, with higher memory interface maybe you dont get such good results, i remeber this from when i overclocked my first video card, a radeon 9600 se.
Also very good video Phill, simple yet very informative.
Superb video. Great job, and yes oc'ing the Vram on this card gives the best boost.
Some nice overall % returns for, what was it, 15% core and 20% RAM in the end - the two separate ones stable together (sometimes that may need a touch back from what they were individually).
More telling though, would be if it had a similar or greater effect on the lows.
What would it offer in the supplied "OC profile"?
+Matthew Day The OC profile overclocks to 1252 Base Clock and 1506 Boost Clock, but leaves the memory at the default 6008 MHz.
I think the optimal Overclock is about: CoreClock +165 and MemoryClock +340. CoreClock doesnt need to be higher as +180, instead increase MemoryClock, which actually increases fps more effectively.
yeah if price is factor i cant understand why people would overlook this card
i own a 1050 and 1030; surprisingly the 1030 can handle practically anything at 720p high settings on an OC. Would recommend for a tight budget
It's really odd but I managed to get my GT 1030 to 2Ghz with no game crashes/artifacting. Pretty impressive if you ask me!
1030 DDR4 ?
@@jinete396our4 No, it was the Gddr5 version
What a surprising little card. Good video!
Back in the day the GT 730 was a great OCing card, it sucked ass regularly however if you slapped a decent OC on the memory and pushed the core clock a bit you could get decent performance from the card (given the price and time of release)
gt 1030 is actually kind of a beast for budget gaming
Probably not worth it now, but it still good
@@bombos4870 honestly if you buy it second hand in working condition, you could pick one up for $30-$50
It's actually really good, there is like 3-4 fps between it and the 750 ti.
@@xen6604 exactly, great for gamers on a budget *:D*
Can you run this on GTAV, Fortnite and Warzone?
Link the software please
*outro song?* great video as usual Phil, keep it up
Hi All - Phils Part 2 of the HP 8200 - Cool. ( I see your memory doubles to 8G Just like mine did )
I added the GT1030 to my G3220 core 2 duo today , may a great difference , but had some issues with drivers in windows staying in standard vga until i realized i left the onboard graphics active on the bios
Next payday i will upgrade my HP8200
I did get the passive cooling Gigabyte as they did not have the one with the small fan like yours - there are about 4 or 5 variations in this card
Cheers George
Nice! Do keep us updated please how you go with the 8200!
Your channel is a real treasure trove, keep doing the great job. Regarding the 1030 have you tried MSI Afterburner with it, how does it compare to stock gigabyte software?
i have a gt 710 2gb overclocked it in my pc running
intel core 2 quad q6600
6gb ddr2 ram
1tbhdd
windows 7
before overclock games like gta iv running at 1360x768 gave me 10-32fps average 15fps
once overclocked i now get 48-60fps average 50fps
gta v 1360x768
before overclock 5-12fps average 10
once overclocked 25-38fps average 30fps
overclocking really does improve my card
My default is only running 2100 memory is mine broken? Mine didn’t start at 6000
sounds like you bought the gddr3 version of the card. you will get half the performance of the gddr5 version.
whats the name of the music at the end?
Volt modding would make a huge diff
How to overclock RAM?Can you please make a separate video on it?
would you suggest 1600mhz core clock and 7200mhz for the video memory, and how much power does it pull when you overclock it that much?
From my limited experience with those low profile office workstation cases, they have poor heat dissipation. running a discrete gpu (especially an overclooked one) in constant load can make the gpu and the rest of the machine wear out pretty fast. I wouldn't recommend using a setup like this to game regularly.
For some reason the lowest resolution is 720p ??? I would like it lower.
+Matlockization That depends on the game. You can run at 800x600 if you like.
I think he was talking about the resolution of the video; for some reason only 1440p60, 1080p60 and 720p60 were available when it was just up, whilst normally it goes from lowest > highest. Really weird, how UA-cam renders and uploads these videos sometimes.
+Michiel van der Winden Ah that's what he meant! Yes I only uploaded it today. The resolutions should be available now from 144p to 1440p for best quality :D
+PhilsComputerLab. Ok, I was referring to this youtube video, however coming back to write this reply, I find the resolution settings have returned back to normal. BTW I enjoyed watching your GT1030 review. I prefer the silent edition.
Nice!
Can you give an update on the status of your 1030 today in 2021? I also got a brand new 1030 more than 3 weeks ago and I'm quite concerned about its longevity in overclock. Hope you can respond 😢
Thanks! What is the difference between low profile and 2gb?
Hello Phil, you could upgrade the PSU and then you can use "whatever" GPU you want. Of course this is easier with the tower HP 8200 elite PCs.
link the download?
at the start you talked about some dead games i didnt even know about
Really should just overclock the wallet, the price/perf gain going from the 1030 to the 1050 is 50% cost vs 100% performance gain or 1:2 ratio. You don't get those sorts of cost:perf gains going up from there.
+magottyk I looked into this. Here in Australia I can get the low profile versions of the GT 1030 for AUD 111 and the GTX 1050 Ti for AUD 230. If you got the money, of course go with the GTX 1050 Ti. As for the regular GTX 1050, I can't recommend it as it is faster, but only has 2GB of VRAM which is not enough IMO for a card of that calibre. But what do you think?
Sorry to be all over this page, but some say the number of gpu cores is more important than the vram size, you can always turn down some things to lower ram usage, but if not enough gpu power that won't help. This is a budget card, so likely using it with budget system overall- so with 1366x768 tv (not monitor) the 1030 will run games at screen native rez and look good. 1050 extra cost difference could go to ram or some other lacking feature of the pc. If pc only had say a 2 core cpu, and 4gb ram would you still get a 1050 over a 1030?
A 1050 will allow you to run decent frame rates with medium textures and for most games you won't need any more than that, there are 4GB versions of the 1050 and the RX560 which is an equivalent card but you are adding cost for that extra memory, which is debatable that you would need it given that it only allows you to run high textures in some games that would exceed the 2GB needed for medium textures. I can still run high texture detail with many games with just 2GB, but not all especially some of the newest titles, but only some will exceed the 2GB budget with high texture settings.
In terms of cost, here in Aus you can get a RX560 pulse card 2GB for $149 and the 4GB version for $189 right now. while a 1050 2GB version starts from $165 ( no 4GB cards listed). Given the starting price of the GT1030 (in stock now) is AU$99, we can see that the options here in Aus do follow the 1:2 price/perf ratio if you aren't too picky on the card you buy. Price reference from MWAVE.
But here's the interesting bit that many of your viewers might be interested in and that is the 1030 vs the R7 260X. The R7 260x is freesync compatible, can be gotten on ebay for $30-$60 and has a performance ratio to the 1030 of 1:1.7 or about 70% more performance. The R7 260X being 2nd gen GCN has a lot of the features of the modern GCN 4.0 chips and is a great choice if you aren't too worried about power budgets as they usually require a 6 pin power connector. Now if freesync isn't required then for the same money the R7 7850 can be acquired which has the performance very close to the RX 560 but with a power draw penalty.
I'm running the R7 260X in crossfire atm and in games like prey and shadows of Mordor, you can definitely see the frame time improvements and the setup allows me to run medium settings at 1440p and get between 40-60 fps with freesync turned on. Games like Doom run at ~30fps (no crossfire) at medium settings at 1440p on these cards so at 1080p they will perform good enough. For $60 I got the ASUS cu2 OC version which runs happily alongside my Gigabyte Windforce OC card I had originally purchased years ago.
But for those seeking to keep the power budget limited to the PCIe slot then the Galax GTX 1050 @$165 is really hard to beat for price/perf and perf/watt or the Galax pulse RX 560 which claims 45Watts power draw @$149 but is slightly lower performance than the 1050 but fits neatly into the price/perf comparisons.
_" If pc only had say a 2 core cpu, and 4gb ram would you still get a 1050 over a 1030?"_
Really depends on the CPU you are talking about but even an AMD APU running 2 cores (1 module) can take advantage of the extra graphics capability of the 1050, but not as well as say an entry level modern pentium chip will.
I got the geforce 1030 I ain't alone here with 60hz tysm.
why only 60 hz ? i just get asus gt 1030 with display port, i run g-sync 1440p 144 hz with 144 fps league of legends (it was 106 eur new, cpu 5600x)
Great Video Bro ! THX
Wow... If it was possible to unlock the full PCIe wattage and increase the voltage on the 1030 and run it at 1900 MHz that card would have been a beast
This card is amazing I use it with lenovo sff m81 i5 2400 8gb ddr3 and ssd240gb al in stock settings bcs i parry machine with 32 inch 720p tv via hdmi and all games run like charm. For me this card is still no1 for sff builds.
I have the msi oc edition got 250 core (2000mhz but fluctuates betw 1920-1950mhz maybe powerlimit)
3500mhz on memory (500mhz +)
I recommend you also check out the AMD RX 560. They run around 110 USD and handle right around everything I've thrown at it. They also really benefit from a memory overclock, as they're fairly bandwidth limited in most games.
+Fuima Tatsu Yea that could be interesting, but I don't think that card fits into a Small Form Factor machine and it likely pulls more power, and these machines do not have PCIe power connectors.
PhilsComputerLab that's a pretty good point. Powercolor makes an RX 560 without a power connector, but it's still not SFF and I don't personally trust the slot to provide 70+ watts.
im gonna try to get the evga 1030 SC just cause i love its shroud design
Please try GTA 5 on this PC
+64 bit Would love to do that, but I don't have that game and it's too expensive to buy just for benchmarking. But I'm sure it will run well.
Well you could pirate it. No one would give a fuck, to be honest.
Bought it fairly recently on sale. Mainly for benchmarking, but I enjoyed the story aswell.
And yes, don't try it on a single core. It just glitches out. A Pentium 4 with HT on the other hand can run it.
64 bit i play gta 5 with procesor intel i3 4160 8 ram ddr 3 and 1030 2gb gddr 5 i play gta on 1440 resolution and all hight an ultra only msaa or fxaa is off
There is no worries. I have exactly the same card. And gta 5 running butter smooth on medium/high settings without overclock and i use redux and mvga graphics mod also on gta 5 with this card ;)
Hi Phil, I have an ASUS gt 1030 no fan version- that I got for 56$. I compared Unigine Heaven/Valley benchmarks at the slowest gpu/vram speed and fastest speed. I got 36.1 fps and 1510 score at 1582 mhz gpu/4808mhz vram in Valley bench that increased to 48.8 fps and 2041 score at 1948 mhz gpu/7208mhz vram. Heaven bench went from 22.4fps and 564 score to 29.5fps and 743 score at the same min/max speeds. So 1/3 increase in performance for about 23% gpu and 50% vram increase in clocks. Temps go to 70c or so, I added a 60mm fan- now maxes at 50c and boost will run higher and longer- at the speeds listed above.
Great OC :D
Thanks, I wish I could get the LP versions of the gt 1050/1050ti without having to order them.
I just can stop watching your videos keep it up 😉
If they had more Ram in that GT1030 it would perform much better.
I will really want a new GTX1030TI with 8GB of faster Ram and higher clocks, also a better heatsink, something more quiet, fanless with vaporchamber heatsink, and a backplate, with built in memory, this card is amazing.
All they needed to do is had added a few more cuda cores, a little higher frequency and more ram and faster ram memory, I like to see it with an M.2 slot in the back, so it can use it for the drives and as cache for video games and that way be faster
This pc will also kick games with a 750ti
... Which is almost the same performance for double the power draw.
If the GT 1030 had a 128 bit bus, I'm pretty sure it's gonna go neck and neck with the GTX 750 Ti.
Thanks for this, great stuff!
You should increase the voltage it may help in overclocking over 20%
I want the link to download the overclocking software last time I tried to find it myself my pc went on boot circling
Mine runs at +200/+470, an Asus card paired with an i7-2600K @ 4.5GHz. Great card for my HTPC and runs some games too.
Great little budget card but needs to be cheaper. Costs 6000 in my country while 1050 is 9000. Needs to drop to 5000 and then it would be great price to performance.
+mohit9206 Yes pricing depends a lot on the region, so it's good to do a bit of research :)
Thats pretty impressive results for a lower end card :)
I do also love this card a lot to be honest. I am a huge fan of mini-cases and ehm.. Well I got two systems where I did put a 1030 in it because it literally is the fastest (affordable) single slot low profile card out there. (I know there are like WX 4100 and P1000 which are around 1050 performance-and I also have them as well- but then having high temperatures in a small case it is still better to have the 1030 for gaming than such high priced cards). For me, it is really a nice card to the price and I am not sure if I should try to overclock mine because she sometimes also does reach 82 degrees already... what would you think? Should I give it a try?
We all know phils like old stuff, but i wondered, is phils personal rig is also... old stuff? Or budget stuff?
Btw imagine phils do a review on
Quad sli titan XP
I do my video editing on an i7 3770 with 16GB of DDR3 RAM and a 500GB SSD.
Really liked the video :) it's nice to see budget cards performing well.
What song did you use at the end of the video?
Thanks Big Thumbs up..
This card can run constantly at 1740 with kboost + overboost and voltage +100
Thank you!
