What the card is and who it targets
The MSI GeForce GT 1030 2GH LP OC is a low-profile graphics card with 2GB of GDDR5 memory on a 64-bit bus. It uses the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 GPU with 384 CUDA cores running at a base clock of 1265 MHz and a boost clock of 1518 MHz. The passive cooler makes it silent, suited for compact PCs or office upgrades needing basic display output and DirectX 12 support.
Check your slot power and bracket clearance
This card fits a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot that operates at x4 electrical width and requires a 300 W power supply for the 30 W board power. It occupies a single low-profile bracket with one HDMI 2.2 port and one DisplayPort 1.4 port for up to two monitors. Verify your case accepts a low-profile bracket and that the slot provides enough physical space for the 153 mm length.
Ideal for silent media builds not for gaming
The fanless design and 30 W draw suit small form factor media PCs, multi-monitor desktops or entry-level workstations where silence matters. It is not Virtual Reality ready and the 64-bit memory bus limits 3D performance, so buyers wanting modern gaming or heavy compute should consider a higher-tier card with active cooling and more memory bandwidth.

Questions about this item
Does the GT 1030 2GH LP OC come with a low-profile bracket or do I need to buy one separately?
The card ships in a box weighing 542 g and includes the low-profile form factor already fitted, so no separate bracket purchase is required.
Should I choose this 2 GB GDDR5 version or a larger memory model for a small-form-factor PC?
This model provides 2 GB of GDDR5 on a 64-bit bus with 384 CUDA cores and a 30 W TDP, making it the only version that fits a single-slot low-profile slot without auxiliary power.
What does the 1518 MHz boost clock mean for everyday desktop use and light gaming?
The 1518 MHz boost clock drives the 384 CUDA cores and 6008 MHz memory to deliver smooth 1080p video playback and entry-level gaming within the 30 W power envelope.
