That isn't even a fair comparison IMO, a GT 1030 is normally 70-75$ while an RX 460 is normally 100$. Gt 1030 is meant to go up against RX 550. And the RX 460 is meant to go up against GTX 1050...
Muhammad Abdullah yes, but the video is also about deal hunting vs. Being less patient
._.
yes but the rx 550 crushes the gt 1030 as well not by such a huge margin but it does especially on the latest drivers however worth bearing in mind a 2200g & 2400g either match or exceed the gt 1030 performance and its an igpu
*waiting for a deal vs buying a card at it's msrp*
watch at least the intro before commenting, he states that he's testing the performance gain from waiting for a deal to buying a card at it's msrp and i'm 38 seconds in

this article goes deeper into it than your comment and shows it isn't so clear whether you would want an apu or gt 1030

Wait a minute. Isnt the average price of a rx 460 $100?
Dunne. Yeah, hence why he went deal hunting.
Yeah, you can find some great deals on the 460!
in my area a 460 costs $5-10 more than a 1030.
Vanguardas Vucava then go for Rx 460.......
Dunne. in my place i can't even find rx 460 anymore, only rx 560 available which does cost around $99 - $109 but it also perform around 10% faster than the rx 460
The fact that you went for an actual realistic approach when testing them, it shows the incredible quality of your work.
We appreciate it.
Thank you.
its also a stupid idea. If you want to see which is better, you need to make the GPU the ONLY variable that changes. That is how texting works. This test lacks validity because the low end hardware introduces variables that cannot be controlled.
Its called the scientific method and it is a fact you should not ignore if you are capable of understanding it :)
460 is better for upgading a medium atx or large prebuilt or building a PC. 1030 is for sff cases. Both are good but I'll give the W to team red
I had the rx460 till it broke lol it's a very good card, I have an hd7970xt right now
And it does get pretty toasty too
fake tbh if you're upgrading a system and want something for gaming, I would personally just save $30 more and get a gtx 1050... they come in sff versions as well and have the same power draw as the 460 but so much more fps on most games.
How did the 460 break? its only been a year since it was released O.O
Dropped it while swapping a mother board lol
On GTA V the 1% .1% Lows were about the same because of the overhead AMD driver puts on the G4560. A game that would be unplayable on the 1030 is Doom, whereas it plays fine using Vulkan on the RX 460. :-)
I dont know mate, i think you got those numbers mixed up
I have a gt 1030 and A4-5300 and i can play doom eternal at 30 fps, 30 is definitely playable

Now is like on $100
@@patricio97 yup
Got a Rx 460 for 43$ and plan on putting it in my dell optiplex
I love that you paired budget GPU with a budget system. Really helps to see how’d t perform with an entire budget setup. Great vid!
Another point you hint at, but is important is the low profile bit. You do mention that the RX 460 has a low profile variant, but you didn't mention that, at least for me, finding one isn't as easy... and finding one at a deal is, at the least, going to be much harder. So if you are looking at placing a card in a SFF PC that needs the low profile, the 1030 has a huge advantage there.
Is the 1030 like a tier below 460? I assumed a 1030 was equivalent to an rx 550. I guess a 460 is basically a 550?
460 is a higher tier then the 550 (the 560 is better then the 460 tho)
DisamerdScroll so for a good budget gpu deal the rx400 series cards are still worth it over a lower tier 500, more so than say the 900 nvidia cards over a lower tier 10 series?
it depends on the gpu itself, that being said a 460, 560, 1050 and 950 are mostly the same in terms of performance it really all comes to the price
DisamerdScroll I see. Yeah I'm looking for 1060/570, but I wondered if I went used and got a 970/480 for cheaper would the performance be similar.
570 is slightly worse then the 480 actually but yeh to get 1060 performance u can get a 970,r9 390, rx 470. 480, 570 and 580 are all about on the same level. Check Hardware Unboxed channel to see performance graphs and such, its a great channel
2:38 i guess they never miss, Huh ?
Ok i'll leave
People can always argue about what the market pricing is on different cards and whether it's "fair" to compare them, but it doesn't matter, just do your own shopping and see what you can find. NVidia's next step up is the GTX1050, and if you can find a deal on those, then great. There are comparisons between RX460 and the 1050 out there as well, feel free to watch them if they apply to your situation.
All that matters is that this video gave a very useful comparison between 2 lower priced, low power gaming cards that somebody might be thinking about buying, each running on a realistic PC, running popular mainstream games that many people will want to play.
Using a less powerful PC to test these cards gives the results a more realistic significance for most people who are in the market for these cards. Of course the results will drift if you use the fastest possible system, but personally I wouldn't find that as relevant to my situation.
Thank you. This was a very good video.
In addition to gaming, both the GT1030 and RX460 have hardware acceleration for playing H.265 (HEVC) videos, which can be useful for a HTPC or any system where you don't want to tax the CPU playing those videos.
When shopping for the GT1030 (not sure if this applies to RX460) make sure you watch what kind of memory is on the cards. Some use DDR4 instead of GDDR5. GDDR5 is much faster. Don't bother with a DDR4 card, get GDDR5.
If you have a low profile case, or if you need a single slot card, then pay attention to those things also. Each manufacturer has multiple versions of these cards with different memory types, physical dimensions, and with fan or passive cooling.
EBay US has some very good deals on the RX460 right now. Large supply of MSI produced HP cards apparently being liquidated, still new. They're about the same price (actually slightly cheaper) than the GT1030 sales I saw on Amazon recently.
I was shopping for an nVidia card, because that's generally my preference, but stumbled into the RX460 listings and bought one of those instead.
If only the 460 wasn't 140$
loldoofus12
Wait for a sale
Some guy sold me one for $40 off craigslist 2 months back
loldoofus12 yeah. i recently commented above that is about the price of the 460 and not $75
Dude, its 299.99 now
Prices are going down right now
You speak very fluently and very clearly, you are a lot better than those people on the news or in radios.
It's a shame that the GT 1030 is a passively cooled version, rather than an actively cooled one.
Why? the passively and actively cooled MSI variants are clocked exactly the same.
Have a look here - surprisingly the passively cooled version (GIGABYTE) cools better than the active cooling one. www.tomshardware.co.uk/nvidia-geforce-gt-1030-2gb,review-33949-10.html
Phil Atkins I have the actively cooled 1030 from MSI and wish it was passively cooled. I could have then installed a fan on that so that it sustains its boost clock of 1750 MHz under higher loads for longer. The actively cooled variant hits 82 degrees Celsius and drops to the advertised boost clock of 1500 to 1550 MHz.
You can always put a couple of small fans on it🤖 and if you want something that looks cool (see what I did there) make a 3d printed fan shroud.
Person. UA-cam notifications are weird I missed your comment. I have a spare 80 mm fan case fan which I plan to mount under the graphics card to blow air on to the tiny stock fan and heat sink. My case has top mounted PSU that is out of the picture in this scenario. Thanks for the suggestions, though.
that's a great deal you found, as currently the rx 460 costs nearly twice as much on your listed links. The GT 1030 is more comparable to the rx 550, beats it in fact in most games, at a slightly lower price.
Thank you for doing the actual setting someone would use, if they were going to buy one of these. I can’t say how many UA-cam videos I’ve watched where the channel had just gone with the highest setting, which doesn’t help me out because I wouldn’t want to run it at that setting 🤦♂️ so again thank you.
You should have also compared it to onboard/integrated graphics. Would have been interesting to see how intel's HD 630 compared to these budget cards.
gt 1030 vs integrated graphics would make a pretty interesting video. Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm aware this is a while back, but currently RX460 is like £120. You can get that low profile MSI GT1030 for £70. So the 1030 might be a better deal for some folk now as the price/performance ratio seems far more comparable. I hear the new RX550 is a good competitor to the 1030 (and fits in low profile PCs), but again it's closer to the £100 mark.
FINALLY I SEE A REALISTIC WAY OF TESTING LOW-MEDIUM END GRAPHICS CARDS !!!
(16GB of DDR4,i7 and a gt1030 my ass)
Yes Im screaming.
This was really useful!, thank you I know nothing about computers and I'm just trying to find a good replacement for an old piece, so comparing their performances with popular games told me a lot more than seeing all the specs when the card is over clocked. Even more so since the other hardware wasn't over the top.
You should definitely overclock both and make another video. Just put a case fan beside the 1030 or else it might cook itself
Why are you comparing these when the rx 460 2gb is a few frames behind the GTX 1050
I just recently built a PC and I expected some more medium spec gaming performance but I've been blown away by what I've gotten. My build is:
G4560 @ 3.5ghz
8GB of DDR4
500w EVGA Bronze PSU
EVGA GTX 1050ti SSC 4GB
120GB PNY SSD
500GB Sandisk SSD
I usually play older titles like Battlefield 4, World of Tanks, Dirt 3 Rally, Fallout 4, Skyrim, and more. So far I've been able to max out the settings. Battlefield 4 I could max at 1080p and still get around 100+fps. This rig is way more powerful than I expected. Props to the 4560 lol.
I think (from your test) the 1030 is okay to play eSport titles or older AAA titles but if i want more demanding games i would stick to the RX 460
The rx 460 can also be modded to get a small FPS boost (~5 FPS)
Seems like this comparison went over people’s heads... it’s about waiting for a sale vs. buying msrp. And both cards were bought for basically the same price.
I'm pretty impressed with the performance of both of these, though it shouldn't be as much of a surprise as it was considering that I started out with a 5670 in 2010 and it was more than adequate for playing Crysis and Crysis 2, Borderlands, etc. Only issue I had was that I had a Pentium D prebuilt at the time, and when I replaced that with an i3 build then the 5670 only shone all the more.
I'm lucky enough to have got a 1060 6GB at launch and with only a $20 premium over MSRP, and I had a 7870 before this, so it's easy to forget when I'm pushing all my settings way up and only having to fiddle with one or two things in most games to get the frame rate I want, that these low end cards can still offer great performance even in the most current games.
Dude. Ghetto 'studio'. Professional voice over. That needs a thumbs up and a sub!
The 1030 is only 30 watts? That's 5 less than my i3!!
The GT 1030 being less expensive at MSRP but being half the power draw makes the 1030 more worth it. Lower power draw means lower electric bills in the long run.
😂😂😂 true
Reiden Lightman that largely depends on location. simply because electricity can be dirt cheap in some places.
Reiden Lightman you won't notice an extra 30 watts of powerdraw on your electricity bill you have to let these cards for very long to see a difference. For comparison your glowing lamp uses 100watts and your oven around 1000watts better save energy there
30 watts is not very much, even a grow light that is 4-5x the power draw will only be a few dollars on the electricity bill monthly, tops.
Really, since a kW is a few cents, the 30W difference is negligible, and note, it is TDP, not actual power draw.
Matt you didnt link the 275 dollar build great video keep up the good work on our way to mill subs soon GOD WILLING
I don't like that people compare a 1030 with graphics cards with more TDP. That is not fair. The RX460 is much closer to the 1050 and draws even more power. The 1030 is meant to be used in energy saving computers. I bought a Fujitsu Esprimo 5731 with it's 280 W power supply and threw the 1030 at it. Works like a charm with silent 43°C under full load passive cooled. I am sure it could handle a 1050 too, but not a RX460, which seems to need a min. 450W power supply. So even if the 1050 costs 20 $/€ more, I would still choose it.
I talked about this at 2:25 - 3:10
Also note you can unlock some RX460 to a RX560 with a bios mod (this will void warranty)
2022 : $80+
2017 : $75 NEW!!!!
I hate people bro
You usually pay a 10-15% premium for a low profile card, also passive cooling is usually higher priced as well, so maybe the GT should be compared to more like a $65 card? Anyway thanks for comparing the two. Now i wonder how the RX460 stacks up to nVidias 75Watt graphics card, that would be the 1050, or the 1050ti
How the heck did you get rx 460 for 75$
Me poor*
Watches people unbox cool things
Finally a guy without an i9!
Lmao
Must have missed the sale the Rx 460 is now listed as 124.99 with a $10.00 rebate.
First Excellent VIDEO !! VERY CLEAR AND PROPER EVALUATION..
TECH by MATT
The reason I got the GT 730 2G OC DDR5 & GT 1030 2G OC DDR5
for 2 system mini medium builds.
For really old games and low power consumption.
I found these cards to be very compatible and supper powerhouses for past tech.
Which is 20 years late but glad it's here and they are a work of art.
THE GT 730 OC 2G DDR5 is and ARTIC version just a Gorgeous piece of art actually in looks. I fell in love with it...
It's like kinda that little useless dog you buy for your girlfriend that fits in her purse.. lol
But is so adorable..
I like building systems and checking reviews done by guy's like you who know their stuff and make great video's..
I love old games and look to build a FUTURE system and kind a bring back into the past..
2021 : Welcome to $150 GPU showdown if you can find them :D
I just checked and the rx 460 is $300
I picked up the gt 1030 lp oc and enjoy it very much. Gonna purchasd another soon to run in sli. After tweaking im very pleased. Glad i got the 1 with the fan. Runs super cool
I have a sapphire nitro RX 460 4gb at the moment, I paid $120 at the right time! But now I am going to upgrade to the RX 580 8gb! To me, it is a little weird that the sapphire's run on only 8 pci-e lanes, but there are a few 460's which use 16 pci-e lanes! I do have a MSI B250M motherboard, I5 7600K and 16 gb Geil Evo Potenza DDR4 2133! That memory I bought at the right time as well, since it was only $82.99 for the dual channel kit! I got lucky on all my buys, paying only $60 for a 240gb ssd and $40 each for 120gb ssd's all three have 430 mb/s or greater read and write speeds!
Compering No Fan and with Fan??
Comparing apples and oranges here using the passively cooled variant of the 1030
Then the R5 2400G STORMS it’s way onto the arena!!!
Thanks for the video!
If I run Windows 10 non activated are you absolutely sure I will get windows updates? Thanks, Cronoxus
when i had the rx460 my games ran with about 25-30fps more,even on max settings on the witcher the 0.1% low was 24fps
I have the gt 1030 (gdrr5 version) paired with an i5-3470 with 8gb of ram and the average fps on cs go is around 140 and fortnite on 1080p all on low (except view distance) i get around 90-145 fps (if running background apps)
Edit: I also have a 240 watt psu so the rx 460 would't really be the best choice because of the 30 watt to 75 watt power draw (if you're trying to save wattage and just my opinion
That passively cooled GT 1030 wasn't a fair test.
I was wondering Matt if you could do a follow up video using the gt 1030 without it throttling from heat by using an active cooling fan? Some of the older systems out there don't reliably have a 75 watt PCI-E slot. Thanks :)
I think we all expected this.
you should have also tested onboard video.
A lot of times these low end cards don't offer a significant performance increase from cpu powered graphics.
Bought two of these last year (2018 at the time of this post) brand new for $40 each. The RX 460 is *still* terrific for entry-level gaming PCs.
Dang $40! I got mine for $50.
Testing with the best CPU will eliminate any potential cpu bottlenecks so you see what the GPU is fully capable of
CSTwister The g4560 won't bottleneck either of these. Guarantee.
But it's better to test real life scenarios. Such as making a budget system and using said cards in the system.
aidan c. People still use the best CPU possible to be more official. Although yes it's not realistic it can happen. Rn I am using an i7 6700 with a GTX 750 ti so it's similar to those highend benchmarks
Edit: actually it's a QHQG overclocked to the same clock speed as a stock 6700
only 2 video outs, yay, I wonder where they get their usage data, this low end card is usually what you get just to expand your monitor setup in a workstation
lol the GT 1030 is like $100+ in my country
The moment when gt 1030 ddr5 goes for 150+ in late 2021 early 2022... I got Asus OC 1030 gddr5 for 90 in the first quarter of 2021 and thought it was expensive. Now I think I got a great deal...
And 4 years ago it seems it was cheaper wow xD
rx 460 is just wayy better than the gt 1030
For a card that consumes twice the power it really doesn't give twice the performance...
You got nice videos,good voice And very good ideas
hi i was looking to buy a good cheap graphics card and the RX 460 sounded very good but i could not find one which cost around 75$ only which had cost 100$ and more. i would liketo know where u got yours from.
5:56 the only game where the G4560 isn´t a bottleneck
I would rather take a GTX 750. U get it used for 40$ if you are lucky (on eBay). Due to the fact that someone else bid more than me on 4 GTX 750 and GTX 750Ti auctions I decided to search for a 7850. Just cost me 60$ and it runs great with a 350W PSU
Bit what happens to this when the 1030 goes on sale at $50?
If you're buying RX 460 at 100$ you're better off with a 1050. Personally went that way and haven't regretted so far. Shadowplay is a nice bonus.
There's also AMD Relive for AMD cards, and it's pretty good too.
GamingWithShadow or go with the rx 560 and use freesync.
i think for people on a real budget the AMD HD 7850 2GB is great for what it costs now, i bought one for 30 euro. Almost matches a 1050
Jeffrey Bozko that's a nice upgrade
Why not just benchmark both overclock & non-overclock in 1 video?
Mr.G / xLockser hmm, I'm kinda forget about that😂
If they did a Graphics card with two 1030 GPU's built in, would consume around 50-60 watts and be ultra efficient, I think graphics cards should have a slot in the back for Ram cartridge, so we can use DDR3 or DDR4 to upgrade the ram even more
Fernando Salazar this comment hurt me
Err ! What? Comments doNOT hurt, I am giving an idea that I think would be cool, you only get hurt if you physically injure yourself not with comments or talk, so your wrong you can't get hurt for what someone says, not possible
bought a rx460 for 90 bucks for my second pc and im really happy with it. Rise of the tomb raider runs on high between 30-40fps at 1080p
ew
they are not in the same tier ....
I wish Gt 1030's were still that cheap...
Thanks for the video! Quick question, since you went with the G4560 ... Does this motherboard support the G4560, without having to update the BIOS? I'm trying to build my first game PC,sorry for the noob question.
I did have to update the bios on this board, but from what I have heard most of the H110 boards are now shipping with updated bios. With that being said B250 boards are guaranteed to work out of the box, so if you find a good deal on a B250 board I would just buy that.
Late to the party, I know, but, yes, let's test a passively-cooled card against a fan-cooled card and call it an apples to apples comparison. And a fan-cooled GT 1030 can be fully OCed while still using about half the power of the RX. Just sayin' ......
Yo you posted this yesterday and took it down why did you do that ?
used rx460 for 70USD. should i buy it?
Rx460 for that cheap but how? Its near impossible
The RX 460 I ave is from XFX and it has 4 GB v Ram and requires a 6 pin, which I bought fir a $110 US dollars.
I guess RX 460 is like R7 250 back in 2013. Low power and price to performance balance.
You're comparing a passively cooled card to a air cooled card. Passive cards tend to be clocked down slightly. Sorry but this isn't a fair comparison.
The passively cooled and air cooled gt 1030's from MSI are clocked exactly the same and with adequate case airflow the passive version has better cooling performance: www.tomshardware.co.uk/nvidia-geforce-gt-1030-2gb,review-33949-10.html
Please try and understand what you're talking about before commenting.
he said 'tend' not 'are clocked down'
Please try and understand what you're talking about before commenting.
Got my 460 for 60 and my 1030 for 70. Deal hunting is worth the time
I would go for the 460 but if you have a pre built pc that has a 100w power supply only use the 1030! But if it has 200w and higher use the 460
Wow in my country GT 1030 is 110$ and RX 460 is 150$. I hate taxes....
*Matt, Can you sell me these 2nd hand?*
When your old PC case was that exact one
How is it going, Matt?
Price for an RX 460 here is 150 euros... (180$)
In India Gtx 1030 gigabyte version costs 7.4k and the RX 460 costs 16k means almost double the price of gtx1030 so gtx 1030 is the way to go
On which builds of Windows 7 64 bit can I use the gt 1030? So the game ready driver can install without saying "This driver is not compatible with the version of Windows you are running"
Rx 460 is 120$ and gt 1030 is 79.99$ on amazon now
Have I lost my mind, ur going on sale vs not on sale and then asking which is better? Card vs card straight up would make 100% sense, having one be on sale and not the other makes zero sense, If that is helpful to anybody then I'm lost, second thing I don't understand is u give age as part of criteria for looking for deals, since when has age had anything to do with that?
I want that air cooled Pallit
Overclock
BowBowZ it's a passive cooler 1030 so you can OC
BowBowZ My actively cooled 1030 boosts to over 1700 MHz as long as the temperature stays below 80 degrees Celsius. When it hits the 82 degree limit, it drops to 1650 MHz. While gaming it rarely runs at the advertised 1500 to 1550 MHz boost clock. Always over that number. I wish mine was passively cooled so that I could have installed a fan on top of it to sustain the boost clock. Haven't tried overclocking.
can not wait to over clock my 1030 next week
75 $ gpu? where? If i want it to buy new it costs 120 euro, the 460 is more a concurent to a gtx 1050 low profile imho...
Its the optimization that matters
