Nvidia GeForce GT 1010 appears on Geekbench

by ·

Nvidia seems to have released the Pascal-based GeForce GT 1010 about a year ago, which appears to be replacing the Kepler-based GeForce GT 710. Be aware that starting with the GeForce R495 GA1 driver version in October last year, GeForce graphics cards with the Kepler architecture are no longer supported, and GeForce GT 710 will only receive security updates in the future.

In fact, in the past year, in addition to the driver list on NVIDIA’s official website, whether it is NVIDIA’s partners or OEM manufacturers, there is no trace of this graphics card in sight, and even the exact specs of the GeForce GT 1010 can’t be fully confirmed.

The mysterious graphic card recently appeared in the Geekbench benchmark, allowing the specs to be finalized. Similar to the previous rumors, both GeForce GT 1010 and GeForce GT 1030 use GP108, but there are only 256 CUDA cores, which means that only two units of the original three groups of SMs are enabled. Its boost clock is still 1468 MHz, it is equipped with 2GB of GDDR6 memory, the speed is 6 Gbps, and the TDP is said to be 30W.

Benchmark results are also unsurprising, with the GeForce GT 1030 running an average of around 35% faster than the GeForce GT 1010 in various tests at lower overall specs. This very low-spec graphics card, even if it is launched on the market, will not be of much help in solving the GPU supply shortage, and it is believed that most consumers will find it difficult to see such a graphics card.
