Whilst the drought in the GPU market continues, street prices for AMD cards are around 50% lower than comparable (based on headline average fps figures) Nvidia cards. Many experienced users simply have no interest in buying AMD cards, regardless of price. The combined market share for all of AMD’s RX 5000 and 6000 GPUs amongst PC gamers (Steam stats) is just 2.12% whilst Nvidia’s RTX 2060 alone accounts for 5.03%. AMD’s Neanderthal marketing tactics seem to have come back to haunt them. Their brazen domination of social media platforms including youtube and reddit resulted in millions of users purchasing sub standard products. Experienced gamers know all too well that headline average fps are worthless when they are accompanied with stutters, random crashes, excessive noise and a limited feature set. [Jul '22GPUPro]
100% a budget card don't think otherwise. Facebook marketplace they're about 50-90 bucks, cheaper then a GT 1030 and perform better, smothers a gt 1010 which offers the same level of 3 outputs. Personally the XFX I grabbed is very good to OC. I managed to jump mine from the regular 20.4% to 26.5%. Not a substantial increase (think about going from crap to mud, same color different smell) but a bump of generally 10-15 frames on all my games. Was able to run Cyberpunk 2077 at the lowest settings and 720p windowed with 40 fps while OC. If you want a work station that doesn't do video stuff and only older gaming perfectly fine. Because at the end of the day while it may be a budget and a half card for gamers, this card is meant for workstations who don't do any video rendering or anything. 3 monitor outputs vs 2 on the gt 1030, twice the TDP of the gt 1030, however lower wattage is possible with a downclock, and I've never had stability issues at standard settings. It's reliable and perfect for someone who is watching the market all day or wants their stock investments on one screen while they do other things on the two other monitors. Any sort of gaming should really come second to it's utility outputs. Nobody would make the argument that a gt 1030 should be good at gaming or built for it, and this is the same case.
