I believe you are correct.Hmm, I don't think Intel ARC GPUs are compatible with win7
Who's talking about the RX 580?The RX 580 went for $800 during 2021. So what.
Yes, but what about the PCIe 2.0x16 being replaced by a 3.0x4 PCIe; you have not addressed this?Yeah, that GT 1030 should be a win for video editing. Higher CUDA cores by a lot, and higher core clocks.
You got me laughing here. You mean. 2.0 not x20. You're absolutely correct.I'm saying, I have no objective data on that. In the real world, it seems to have negligible impact on gaming, but I've not known anyone besides yourself using an x20 card for video editing.
Sure, it's quite a bit faster than the GT 220, it's still a really slow card though. For reference, the Pascal GTX 1080 is probably 10x or more faster gaming than a DDR4 1030, and it shows just an average 10% drop going from 3.0 x4 to 2.0 x4. The card isn't fast enough to worry about the PCIe bandwidth throttling it.No gaming, none. Usage for video editing only. I would disagree with you as the GT1030 being slow. The benchmarks are far more positive than the GT220: that simple. Match them up, then tell me the GT1030 is too slow.
I thought they all placed limits. That is why I entered my MOBO in my initial post, believing someone would have knowledge of that mother board.Btw, many older mobos labeled Crossfire, limited the seconds slot effectively to 2.0 x4.
Oh, sorry.No, I absolutely meant x20. As in, GT 220, GT 620.
The GT1030 DDR4 is Pascal also. So, you derived the 10% drop from those specs, correct? And the GTX1080 requires a 500 watt Power Supply; no need to go there. My P.S. is only 300 watt and a PCIe.Sure, it's quite a bit faster than the GT 220, it's still a really slow card though.

I don't believe video editing is terribly bus bandwidth intensive anyway, so there'd be less impact that gaming.
Yeah, that's why I used it as an example. The 1080 has 8.5x more processing power than the 1030, and even it is not significantly limited by x4 2.0 speeds while gaming.The GT1030 DDR4 is Pascal also.
The 10% drop is the measured difference in gaming performance between x4 3.0 and x4 2.0 in Techpowerup's 1080 PCIe scaling article, 96%/87%. See image above. I'm not aware of any PCIe scaling benchmarks using video editing.So, you derived the 10% drop from those specs, correct? And the GTX1080 requires a 500 watt Power Supply; no need to go there.

No, you're correct. Why I opted for the GT620 with 64 bit rather than 128 bit for bus width is beyond me. Card is still working well (Installed). Replacing with the GT1030 and see if there's any difference.The next to last digit in an Nvidia model code specifies where the card sits in terms of performance relative to that generation of cards.
I didn't hide that info from you when you bought that card off of me. Which, IIRC, you had specifically already wanted a 620 for some reason. I could be wrong.
Well, I'm not stepping up there, just a better graphics card that can be aligned with my MOBO.Yeah, that's why I used it as an example. The 1080 has 8.5x more processing power than the 1030, and even it is not significantly limited by x4 2.0 speeds while gaming.
I found this. Your opinion here.You're welcome. Don't forget to thank Mr. Teal for dragging out some numbers.
Thank you very much Mr. Teal for the expertise you have provided to me.Yeah, that's why I used it as an example. The 1080 has 8.5x more processing power than the 1030, and even it is not significantly limited by x4 2.0 speeds while gaming.

Thank you very much for the courtesy.This should be fine for your usage, and I wouldn't think there to be any throttling on a lower power card, unless ambient temps are really high or you have very poor airflow.
