Performance of SMG1+2 on GT 1030/i3-8350K

02-27-2018, 01:06 AM #1

I currently have a i3-8350K at a modest overclock of 4.5 GHz. Due to insane GPU prices right now even the 1050 is double the price of the GT 1030 where I am at (soon I will receive the GT 1030)

I heard that SMG and SMG 2 are very graphically demanding titles so I was wondering if the GT 1030 would be sufficient to render at 3x/4x IR with no AA/2xMSAA and 16x AF.

Specs are:
i3-8350K 4.5GHz
Intel UHD 630 (will receive GT 1030 in a week)
1x8 GB 2400MHz Corsair Vengeance LPX
Windows 10 Home Anniversary Update x64

It shouldn't be a problem.

Yeah, GPU Prices are insane right now thanks to cryptomining. I bought a second hand GTX780 for 50 euros, but I actually wanted to buy a GTX1060 6GB but not at 450euro. Same thing with a GTX1070 Non-TI, they go here for close to 950 euro and the GTX1080 non TI go for up to 1600 euro and the TI for around 2000euro...

Then there is the issue of RAM costing around 200 euro for 2x8GB...

I JUST WANT A CARD THAT IS ABLE TO PUT OUT 4K @60Hz WITH A DECENT GPU ON IT
without having to jump through hoops...

Thanks to this shit it is ffing cheaper to buy a XboxOneX and install Windows 10 on it... *dreaming*if only they used Intel and nVidia....*dreaming*

Ontopic:
Yeah, 1030 should be fine at 3xIR 16xAF

But... you can't?

...so that the Xbox One X would actually be more expensive than a comparable GPU+RAM?

It'll also have a waaayyy slower CPU.

That isn't the reason it can't run a normal desktop version of win10. That runs perfectly fine on AMD GPUs and their jaguar x86 cores in pc-compatible systems...
