ancient

Not sure I'd agree. Older doesn't mean useless...

You implied it with the term "Ancient".

Only 256 CUDA cores? It's the same as in intel's 11th gen CPUs. Why would anyone pay 50-60 bucks for this crap?

Uhhh.....maybe because not everyone already has a modern CPU with decent integrated graphics?

What do you do if you have a low-end non-G Ryzen chip that needs a discrete graphics card but you don't play any games? Well you'd probably buy this "crap" then, wouldn't ya?

I'm in support of the GT 1010 because it obsoletes the GT 710 and GT 730. I'll be happy to see those barely-useful display adapters gone.

That implies as it defines, old.
A Titan X is ancient and still pretty useful today.

While true, they are cores from a different architecture.

This is true, however Maxwell and Pascal are architecturally very similar, and it shows in the frames per TFLOP numbers. Combined with the much higher clock speeds of the GT 1010, I would wager it would easily outperform the little GM20B in the Switch.
