Hello everyone and welcome back to another Budget Builds Episode where today we're taking a look at the GT1030 for the very first time! Thats right despite covering everything from the GT210, 1010, 4010, etc... We have never actually got around to covering the one card that actually saw mass market appeal. The only thing is though I dont know which one ive been sent so this card could either be rather good...Or rather bad indeed, but theres only one way to find out, and thats to run it through...The Benchmarks!
