Nvidia to launch new graphics card for media PCs

Nvidia will launch a new Pascal-based GeForce card for basic graphics workloads called the GT 1010.

The existence of this card was discovered by YouTuber Dapz, who investigated after a Twitter user had discovered the GeForce GT 1010 on the product list of the Nvidia driver installer.

This aint playing crysis lol

 

[Weasley]

it will probably play crisis better than a 3080 considering there will be stock

720p low might be ok.

 

[Stillie]

but can it play minecraft?

Some more detailed media-relevant specs would be nice, such as encoding / decoding support.
My Skylake based media centre is getting on in age, something like this might be a worthwhile upgrade for video decoding.

I would actually be curious to see if this thing can indeed run Crysis. I mean, it used to take an 8800GTX to get decent quality settings in Crysis. Would a 1010 be able to match an 8800GTX?

EDIT: Comparing the 1030 to the 8800GTX, the 8800 only wins on memory bandwidth. The 1030 has a higher fillrate, far more processing power, and far more memory. It has less memory bandwidth, but perhaps new memory compression and caching technology will make that matter less?

I am pretty sure that the 1030 would annihilate a 8800GTX, but not sure about the 1010. It might just have too little memory bandwidth.

Well I would ****ing hope so.

November 8, 2006

The 8800 series, codenamed G80, was launched on November 8, 2006 with the release of the GeForce 8800 GTX and GTS for the high-end market. A 320 MB GTS was released on February 12 and the Ultra was released on May 2, 2007.

An 8800 GTS 640MB was the first graphics card that I ever bought with my own money (ie earned from a job). It was the second best graphics card available at the time, and it cost me around £220. Today the second best graphics card (the 3080) costs at least 3x that.

That was a legendary card, from what I recall there were 320 and 640mb versions?
Before that it was the 6600GT that had massive market adoption.

It could happen if the GT1010 fits between the GT710 and GT1030.

GT1030 > 8800GTX > GT710

One question, Nvidia...

Why didn't you call it the GT 2020?

I had an 8800GTS 320. It was a flipping awesome card at the time.

I think y'all mean Crysis Remastered.

Or Mine

 

[Swa]

but can it mine?

ftfy

 

[Polymathic]

How much better would this card perform than an the integrated GPU on an Intel CPU?

 

[Moosedrool]

Is it SLI capable?

My Skylake based media centre is getting on in age, something like this might be a worthwhile upgrade for video decoding.

Since it's a cut-down Pascal GP108 chip, it should have the same encode/decode support as other GP108 cards such as the GT 1030.
GP108 chips don't support GPU-accelerated encoding (NVENC) whatsoever.

The G92-based 8000 series were far more popular and impressive than their G80 counterparts.
The G92 8800GT 512MB was nearly half the price of the G80 8800GTS 640MB and consistently faster. Never mind the G92-based 8800GTS 512MB which had near-8800GTX performance for a third of the price.
