Low-profile GT 1030 with 2 GB DDR4
The MSI GeForce GT 1030 2GD4 LP OC is a low-profile graphics card built around the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 GPU. It fits a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot that operates at x4 electrical width. The card carries 2 GB of DDR4 memory on a 64-bit bus and runs at a 1189 MHz core clock with a 1430 MHz boost clock. A single fan cooler handles the 30 W thermal design power.
Entry desktop upgrades and multi-monitor setups
This card suits owners of slim or small-form-factor PCs who need DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.5 support for modern desktop workloads or dual-display productivity. The HDMI and DisplayPort outputs drive two monitors simultaneously. It is not intended for 1080p gaming at high settings or for compute workloads that demand more than 384 CUDA cores or a wider memory interface.
Steady 30 W operation with solid capacitors
Under sustained load the board draws around 20 W and stays within its 30 W TDP thanks to the single-fan cooler and all-solid capacitors rated for 10 years of continuous operation. The aluminium core aids heat spreading so clock speeds remain stable without throttling. A 300 W power supply is recommended for the complete system.

Questions about this item
What power supply capacity is recommended for this 30 W TDP card?
A 300 W PSU is recommended; the card itself draws 20 W and fits a single PCIe x16 slot that operates at x4 electrical.
Will the low-profile bracket fit in my existing slim tower case?
The low-profile design saves space and uses a single-slot cooler, so it fits most slim or small-form-factor cases that accept half-height cards.
How can I verify the 1430 MHz boost clock is active after installation?
Run the included Kombustor DirectX 12 benchmark or monitor GPU frequency in MSI Afterburner; the utility shows real-time core clocks during load.
