My first thought was the 1630 was for people who just need a cheap dedicated GPU for like an extra monitor or a basic HTPC or something.  It would make sense for that.<br><br>Then you said it’s more expensive than the 1650.  Wat. Why.,(reply>), @Scott Grammer thx dude❣️,(reply>), @TECH N DJ BTW, just checked out and subscribed to your channel.,(reply>), @Scott Grammer better check once, mine doesnt show up any decoders on ubuntu xserver driver as well as in plex pro for encoding too. It seems like using CUDA for enco/deco unlike my 1050ti which barely cross 10% while using for this purpose where as the 1030 hits 80+% and lags terribly in both VLC and plex.,(reply>), @Akame Murasame Or a home theater PC.<br><br>Lots of small companies build their own PC's and use these types of parts.,(reply>), @TECH N DJ  No offense, but you are mistaken. the 1030 does have HEVC decoding, and the later ones had HDMI 2.0 which will display 4K at 60Hz. I use mine to play 4K HEVC videos and it's doing all the work, not my CPU. Device manager shows the GPU at about 40% utilization, while the GPU (an old 4th Gen i5) toddles along at about 15-20%. Bought mine used for $75.
