The sudden epidemic has not only affected our daily lives, but also brought a major blow to the global economy. For players, the most obvious thing is the price increase and shortage of graphics cards. The main reason for this is the limited production capacity and rising prices of semiconductor materials. In addition, the price of Bitcoin continues to rise, and miners with strong demand continue to impact the graphics card market, resulting in a serious shortage/premium situation today.
The market is a chain, high-end graphics cards are out of stock, and entry-level graphics cards will continue to heat up. Overall, the current entry-level graphics cards have increased in price, but the rate is not high, and there is still a price-performance ratio. I also believe that many friends who want to upgrade their machines this year will, like the author, want to transition by purchasing an entry-level online game card, and wait for the graphics card market to improve. Here, the author also brings four recommended entry-level graphics cards for those with such needs. Let’s take a look.
The first choice for "bright machine card": strong GT710
For users: light online game players, home office, daily audio and video entertainment
YESTON (Gyeston) GT6strong 1Gyeston GT6strong
The first thing that comes to mind when mentioning the bright machine card is naturally the veteran GT710. Although the performance is not good, but its price is cheap, even capable of some mild online games, so it is still active in the market since its release in 2016. Although most GT710s have already been delisted, the GT710 1G D3 Ares version recommended to everyone today is still common, and can be easily bought on all e-commerce platforms.
Look at the detailed parameters, Yeston GT710 1G D3 Ares version uses the 28nm process Kepler architecture,The core code is GK208, the number of stream processors is 192, and the core frequency is 954MHz. The memory capacity is 1GB, the type is DDR3, and the memory frequency is 1600MHz. In terms of power supply interface, does not require an external power supply . There are three types of output interfaces: 1*VGA+1*HDMI+1*DVI-D. The interface types are relatively rich, which is very suitable for replacing the graphics card, and then idle as a spare "lighting machine card".
Entry-level mainstream choice: veteran GT1030
For users: light online game players, home office, daily audio and video entertainment
ASUS ASUS PH-GT1030-Opstrong released since 17 Since the GT1030 has shined in the entry-level market, it is still the mainstream choice for entry-level graphics cards. Compared to the common GT710, it is better to say that the GT1030 is the successor to its big brother GT730. ASUS PH-GT1030-O2G adopts a more advanced Pascal architecture, 14nm process technology, and a core frequency of 1252MHz, which can reach 1531MHz after supporting Boost. In the face of some small online games, ASUS PH-GT1030-O2G can also be used as an entry-level game card.
Other parameters, ASUS PH-GT1030-O2G core code is GP108, the number of stream processors is 384; the memory capacity is 2GB, the type is GDDR5, the memory bit width is 64Bit, and the memory frequency is 6000MHz.In terms of power supply, does not require an external power supply . There are 1*HDMI+1*DVI-D on the output interface, which can meet the daily needs of household use. It is worth mentioning that ASUS PH-GT1030-O2G only needs PCIe 3.0x4 channels to meet the bandwidth requirements and has excellent compatibility.
Hundred yuan game graphics card: the entry choice RX550
For users: small single-player games & large online games players, home office, daily audio and video entertainment
) RX550-2G D5 Extreme Edition
After reading two NVIDIA, let’s look at an entry-level graphics card from AMD. As the entry-level graphics card in the AMD RX500 series, the RX550 was released in the same year and the price is similar, so the two can be regarded as competing products. Thanks to the advanced Polaris architecture of Yeston RX550-2G D5 Extreme Edition, it has an advantage in game performance compared to competing products from other vendors. It can easily play most online games on the market while taking care of daily life. Audio-visual entertainment and home office needs.
In terms of parameters, Yeston RX550-2G D5 Extreme Edition is equipped with Baffin display core, 14nm process technology, has 512 stream processors, core frequency is 1071MHz, memory frequency is 6000MHz, memory type is GDDR5,The capacity is 2G, and the video memory frequency is 128bit. In terms of power supply, does not require an external power supply . The output interface is 1*DP+1*HDMI+1*DVI-D interface, which is rich in types to meet the daily needs of the family.
Internet cafe first choice: Time Memories GTX750Ti

ce GTX p750 _strong _strong
ce GTXp750 GTX 750Ti was once the main graphics card of NVIDIA's GTX 7 series. The performance at that time is believed to be obvious to all experienced players. After several generations of graphics card iterations, the GTX 750Ti has gradually become more cost-effective. It is often seen in various Internet cafes, large and small, and it can be said to be the standard graphics card for Internet cafes at the time. But now that the GeForce RTX30 series is out of stock, the kindly priced and popular GTX 750Ti has naturally become the first choice for cheap gaming graphics cards in today's situation. It's a pity that new products on the market have long since disappeared. Even though only some second-hand brands are still active on the market and the prices are very kind, the quality is unknown. In this regard, the author still has to remind: second-hand is risky, you need to be cautious when buying .
The parameters of most GTX 750Ti on the market are basically the same as those of the GALAXY GeForce GTX 750Ti, except that the GALAXY GeForce GTX 750Ti will not continue the public version’s non-external power supply design.Instead, it uses the 6Pin external power supply solution. In addition, the phantom radiator is used for heat dissipation, and the fan is a dual 80mm ball fan. GALAXY GeForce GTX 750Ti will adopt Maxwell architecture, 28nm process, core code is GM107, the number of stream processors is 640; the memory type is GDDR5, the capacity is 2GB, the memory bit width is 128Bit, and the memory frequency is 6008MHz. The output interface is 1 × DVI-I interface, 1 × DVI-D interface, 1 × HDMI interface and a DP interface.
Summary
Nowadays the shortage of graphics cards, I believe that experienced players and friends are as common as the author. From a rational analysis point of view, Nvidia and AMD are obviously already working to solve the problem of insufficient production capacity. In the face of today's large blue ocean of the game graphics card market, who does not want to make money. As players, we still said that, "wait" is over.
For those of you who want to upgrade the host configuration, it is really helpless to buy a high-end graphics card and buy an entry-level graphics card. But compared to the ridiculous premium of thousands of dollars, the entry-level graphics card with a slight price increase can be considered a more acceptable choice.
