Summary
Reasons to consider the GeForce GT 1030 DDR4
- 195 watts lower power draw. This might be a strong point if your current power supply is not enough to handle the GeForce GTX 470 .
- This is a much newer product, it might have better long term support.
- Supports PhysX
- Supports G-Sync
- Supports ShadowPlay (allows game streaming/recording with minimum performance penalty)
- Supports Direct3D 12 Async Compute
- Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Pascal), there may be no performance optimizations for current games and applications
Reasons to consider the GeForce GTX 470
- Supports PhysX
- Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Fermi), there are no performance optimizations for current games and applications
