What the title says.

I would like to know power consumption, performance compared to the low end AMD GCN cards, Intel IGPs, APU IGPs and older low end Nvdia cards. But I haven't found a single review of the card, as if it wasn't released. Do you know if TPU will have one?

Why is that? There are hundreds of reviews for irrelevant variations of the 1080/1080ti, but no love for the low end market.

Power consumption is no more than 30 watts I believe. It performs relatively well (go on YouTube search up by 1030 vs 750 ti or gt 1030 vs rx 550). For the price i would spend another 30 on the 1050 personally. It Is a good card though, but 70 imo is kinda pricy. Would have liked to see 50 or 60.

Yeah, I've seen a review in german and one for Linux in Phoronix. The card is really good, reaching the 550 performance in many test while being weaker and consuming 20w less. I hope the price lowers over time, is a good card for an IGP-less system, but at that price I can get a 550 or 460 for very little more around here.

I need to know of a good cheap card to use on a Ryzen system for a client, and the only cheap options right now are either a G210 (DX10.1/OGL3.3) or a HD5450 (DX11.0/OGL4.4), so I wanted to see how good the new low end was.

Define cheap. I'm about to likely buy a 1080 ti so a 1050 would be cheap for me. The gt 1030 would be my second choice for under 100 though.

As cheap as it can get while being relevant.
