Will I see a increase in fps in games with a GT 1030?

[natedog1636]

Right now i am playing most games at 20-30 fps lowest settings and at 720p or lower, and I am wondering if getting a GT 1030 will solve my problem of low frame rates.


current specs

AMD A4 7210 (4 cores and clocked at 2.2GHz)

4GB DDR3

and Radeon R3 integrated graphics.

220w psu



i am wondering if i will be able to run most titles at 40-60 fps on low to medium settings 720p.

You would see an improvement. But I don't know if you will see 40- 60 FPS. It will depend upon the game. The GT 1030 is an entry level graphics card. I would suggest the GTX 1050 instead for a bit more money. That would have a better FPS rating.

the games i play are Unturned, Red Orchestra, Red Orchestra 2, GTA 5, and ArmA 2

Looking at your power supply, I would update that either way. The recommendation for the GT 1030 and GTX 1050 is 300 watts.

I think you would probably be disappointed with the GT 1030.

Another guy i know managed to get a gt 1030 working on a 65w psu lol, and there is a cord in the way so i cant get anything longer than the pci slot, and i thought the gtx 1050 would bottle neck wouldnt it?

Both cards are working off of the PCI Express x 16 slot power. The processor would probably be OK on either. Remember that until the GT 1030 came out the GTX 1050 was the entry level card (still is for the GTX cards).

And there are short versions of the GTX 1050. Measure the maximum length from the expansion slot port to the first obstruction inside the case? Then compare them to the cards. The GT 1030 is about 4.5 - 5" (the GTX 1050 are about 1 -1.25" longer). The whole point is mute if t will not fit (also consider the height, it may need a low profile card as well).

Everything online says that they are great cards (well at least the GDDR5 verson).

AMD A4 7210 is in a desktop computer? If so, a 1030 DDR5 has the capability to run a lot of games well at 720p.

In your case, before you buy anything verify that your CPU isn't already maxed out. Run a game while running MSI Afterburner at the same time, so you can see onscreen CPU usage. Is it high, close to 100%? If it is, a new card won't help much.

the cpu runs at 60%-70% on Day Of Infamy abut 5%-6% of that was task manager

On most games I get anywhere from 40% to 85% (85 is rare though).

This is not a performance apu

If you could even play GTA five on it I would be very surprised. I wouldn’t go over the 1030 it would be a waste

I get about 20-40 fps on GTA 5 but lots of stuter when driving

 

[Peter Martin]

Right

 

[natedog1636]

It only uses 20% to 45% on Spintires will i see an increase because at the moment im only getting 15-30 fps?
