if the price is right, why not?
it performs about where the GT1030 GDDR5 is right now i think
(never mind the mismatch in power draw and warranty)
then buy a gtx1030 new? bad ideaLast night i tried using the igpu, not very good when watching full screen football videos, will have to get something...
Cannot be lei. Igpu should be able to watch 1080p video and stream 1080p video no problem one. You playing 4k video is it? Only worth to go for discrete gpu if your gonna do any 1080p gaming @60fps if that is what ya want.
Hmmm, GTX 560 Ti is 4 generations behind a GTX 1030, 10-15% more powerful than a GTX 1030 yet 3 times cheaper in price than a GTX 1030. Yep, I called that bloated

$250 brand new 1050ti? i rather buy preowned 1060 3gb for around $300 or less with local warranty.

if you want real cheap card, the 660ti for $50 without anymore warranty is most valued for money. if not, just use igpu and choose a hold and wait stance.

Youtube is your best friend.
You cannot compare prices of an old card with a new card. Also, the power efficiency gap is like night and day.
So you will buy a 1030 in this case?
I dun know about others but I will buy a 30-50 card with similar performance even though without warranty over a $120 on gtx 1030. Spoilt then buy another one lor without the need to wait for RMA. And really, for a $120 card I also can't be bothered to RMA. Buying 1030 brand new is worst choice.
Walan eh, dig old threadbookmarked.......

Better hoot if need before price jump.
Might as well buy preowned rx570 or rx580 in carousell with some warranty left. More powerful and with warranty.
