GeForce GT 1030 vs GeForce GTX 960
Summary
Reasons to consider GeForce GT 1030 |
90 watts lower power draw. This might be a strong point if your current power supply is not enough to handle the GeForce GTX 960 . |
This is a much newer product, it might have better long term support. |
Supports PhysX |
Supports G-Sync |
Supports ShadowPlay (allows game streaming/recording with minimum performance penalty) |
Supports Direct3D 12 Async Compute |
Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Pascal), there may be no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
Reasons to consider GeForce GTX 960 |
Higher theoretical gaming performance, based on specifications. |
Supports PhysX |
Supports G-Sync |
Supports ShadowPlay (allows game streaming/recording with minimum performance penalty) |
Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Maxwell), there may be no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
HWBench recommends GeForce GTX 960
Based on theoretical specifications.
