In brief: Nvidia is quietly preparing a new graphics card, merely it'due south not the elusive RTX 3080 Ti or RTX 3050—it's the Pascal-based GT 1010. Almost five years accept passed since the architecture used in ten-series cards such as the GTX 1080 launched, and squad green is notwithstanding squeezing life out of the Maxwell successor.

The GT 1010 was starting time reported past YouTube channel Dapz later a user spotted information technology on a driver download page. An Nvidia rep confirmed the card's beingness, adding that it had not however been released.

You lot're not going to exist playing Cyberpunk 2077 on this product. Based on the 14nm Pascal GP108 GPU found in the GT 1030, a third of that carte du jour's 384 CUDA cores have been disabled in the GT 1010 (256 cores).

Every bit per TechPowerUP, the GT 1010 also features 2GB of GDDR5 with a 64-bit memory interface and 41.one GB/s bandwidth. The GT 1030, for comparison, comes in both GDDR5 and DDR4 versions. Power-wise, it has a TDP of 30W and a suggested PSU wattage of 200W.

The GT 1010 is based on the same GP108 GPU every bit the GT 1030 (above)

The GT 1010 is more than of a brandish bill of fare designed for dwelling house theatre PCs, abode servers, etc., and looks to exist replacing the older Kepler-based GT 710. No word on a MSRP or when information technology will be released—or if it's OEM systems-merely—but at least the GT 1010 should be one of the few Nvidia cards in stock.

We recently heard that Nvidia is because new crypto-mining specific graphics cards. Restarting the CMP line could alleviate the current shortages, which are exacerbated past the rising cost of crypto and miners building multi-GPU rigs.
