GT 1030 vs R7 250 which one is better?

[Pranav Patil]

as im goin to buy the new gfx card to upgrade my PC will you tell me guyz if which one would b the great deal for such case? i jus came across this GT 1030 and it seems decent to me but im still confused between GT 1030 and R7 250. Help me out guyz!!

Clearly the GT 1030, or the RX 550.

ok but i hv seen this tht gt 1030 is 64 bit and r7 250 is 128 bit.. dies it make any difference ?

I would disagree with that. The 1030 is pretty much not a gaming card, it has GDDR5 sure, but its 64 bit. Its probably, performance wise, about what a 730 is. Id go with the 250, but I could be wrong, I looked up a 1030 review and it just seems like a general use not even HTPC duty kinda card.

the 64 vs 128 is for the widht of the bus to acces ram

the cpu must be fast to fell the lack of width, in the gt1030 case it doesn't really ffect it

i have a r7 250, it is fast but not ideal for high or medium settings at 1080p, too slow

all the reviews i have seen point the 1030 to be double of the r7 250, the r7 250 only makes sense i you find it very very cheap and plan to play at 720 p or in hd, nothing over it at high details maximum

GT 1030 is ~60% better than the R7 250, based on user benchmarks: http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GT-1030-vs-AMD-R7-250/m283726vsm8217

But both are not good for gaming.

lol comparing bit bus size when chip architectures are completely different.

sounds like you haven't really researched either gpu's well enough, yet you disagree. not how it works.

 

[atljsf]

strongly disagree

if you play like me, on a hd tv from your bed, the r7 is perfect

if you play on a 1080p monitor and expect 60fps or more, no, none will be enough for every game

no gpu is bad, each gpu has, or had its target in the market

the r7 250 was meant for gaming on the cheap on 900p 3 years ago, more or less

1030 is meant for gaming on the cheap, more or less, 1 to 2 years ago at 900p

when gaming on a budget, your target audience is ready to accept some limitations

i would change my r7 for the gt 1030 if i could find one, but what i can find now is rx550 at 96 dollars plus transport and taxes, for the 2 gbs model :X

 

[vrumor]

And I am wrong. Read a few reviews and I have used the R7 250 before so I made a wrong assumption.

so gt 1030 is good? so should i go with gt 1030 cuz i want to play in 1366x768 resolution

 

[atljsf]

you should ask if it the gpu fits your needs, all gpus are good for some purpose, in your case is for gaming

it should be good for that resolution and 1080p in middle to low for 30 to 50fps if not more in some games, not all but lots of games will run well with it bu you must play with settings and resolutions to find the perfect spot

if you have a decent cpu and 8 gbs of ram you should get very decent results

Watch this test using a GT 1030 on 720p/900p on Ultra settings and decide for yourself if the framerates (~25fps to ~45fps) is acceptable to you:

If fps is low for your preference, then just decrease in-game graphics settings.
