NVIDIA quietly introduces the GeForce GT 1010 — A Pascal GP108 GPU with 256 CUDA cores, 2 GB GDDR5 VRAM, and 55 W TDP

NV must have a huge stockpile of Tegra X2 left from the Jetson Soc.
Maybe because of the dying car industry...

Finally, I can replace my GT710 which has only 1GB of DDR3.

There's zero reason to get this abomination just like the GT 1030. You are better off buying a dying ex-24/7mining used RX 570 or 580 than burning money on this.

Unless you only have space for a single-slot half-height card, a pathetic PSU, and no PCIe power connectors; then you'd be burning money by buying a dying card that may or may not fail on you and won't actually fit into your system.

Still, better to buy a GT1030 (GDDR5) than this junk.

Can you clarify the difference of 1,800 million transistor vs 1.8 billion?

HTPC's are the ones that want this. cheap powersaving and the only thing that matters are the trabscoding processors

Ah yes, your comment aged like milk, most RX 570s and 580s are being fucked into the ground by scalpers and being turned into overpriced garbage, GT 1030s and 710s are skyrocketing in price and low-end gamers on a non-financially spoilt budget like me need this stuff. Now go cry to reddit you virgin.
