Come enjoy the Nvidia GT 1010's puny benchmark score
Nvidia’s puniest GPU released early last year to what could be considered a trumpet trying to hide a fart amount of fanfare. Nvidia’s GeForce GT 1010 is a Pascal based GPU and it looks a lot like what we saw in the GT 1030 budget laptop cards from 2017.
Presumably they were released as an attempt to have another answer to the great chip shortage for those wanting a super basic card. However, they’re not even really good enough for that and we haven’t seen any real talk about them so how effective this was is questionable. It seems that these budget options to fill the market may have been harder to come by than we thought.

About a year later we are finally seeing 3rd benchmarks surface for the devices, and they are very cute. Benchleaks on Twitter shared the results (via Tom’s Hardware) of the GT 1010 in action on Geekbench’s CUDA Benchmark. The machine tested was also using Intel’s Core i9-12900K on an Asus ROG Strix Z690-F Gaming Wifi motherboard complete with 64GB of RAM. It was also running on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS, as Linux is becoming easier and more prominent as a gaming platform.
Usually someone would have come out of the woodwork much earlier in the game to test a card as underwhelming as this one, just to see what it can do. Of course, no one expects this card to perform well. It’s not designed to and instead boasts a bunch of ports and a cheap price for those who need it.
