GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs GeForce GT 1030: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs GeForce GT 1030

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is dramatically faster, around 1100% ahead of the GeForce GT 1030. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p. The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti packs 2,432 CUDA cores versus 384 on the GeForce GT 1030.

Price & Value

The GeForce GT 1030 currently lists from $81 EUR, $293 EUR less than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti at $374 EUR. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti wins on performance-per-dollar by about 160%. The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is trading below its $449 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal.

Power & Efficiency

On power, the GeForce GT 1030 is the gentler choice at 30W versus 180W. The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 180W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti carries 8GB versus 2GB on the GeForce GT 1030. The extra 6GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers. The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti's memory is also faster — 256 GB/s versus 48 GB/s (256-bit vs 64-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.

Which should you buy: GeForce GT 1030 or GeForce GTX 1070 Ti?

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the GeForce GT 1030 if you find it at a steep discount.
