Low-end graphics cards cannot be misused to mine cryptocurrencies. Their performance is too weak for that and therefore they sadly sit in warehouses. As a result, they also keep low prices. We’re talking about the GeForce GT 1030, which is the only option at a reasonable price for regular users who do not have an iGPU. We’ll see how this little graphics card performs across the tests. For whom does it make sense and for whom does it not?
Noise level
Measuring the noise of a passive graphics card may seem strange, but the fan is not its only source of sound – so are the coils. Although they are extremely quiet on this card, with our sensitive sound level meter (with parabolic amplification) we can record and distinguish even such a low intensity of sound pressure. Therefore, even in this case, we’re measuring the produced noise level, although it’s always very low.
