Low-Profile Pascal Card for Compact Builds

The MSI GeForce GT 1030 2GH LP OC is a low-profile graphics card built on NVIDIA Pascal architecture. It targets small-form-factor systems that need discrete graphics for everyday computing and multi-monitor productivity. The board occupies a single slot and uses a full-height PCI Express 3.0 x16 connector while negotiating an x4 link. A large passive heatsink covers the PCB, providing silent operation without a fan.

Verify Slot Length and Power Budget

Before ordering, confirm the chassis can accept a low-profile bracket and that the motherboard provides a physical x16 slot, even though the card runs at x4 electrically. The board draws 30 W and does not require an auxiliary power connector, but the system power supply should meet the recommended 300 W rating. Outputs consist of one HDMI port and one DisplayPort connector, both HDCP 2.2 compliant, supporting up to two displays.

Silent Sustained Operation at 30 W

Under continuous load the passive cooler dissipates the 30 W thermal design power without acoustic output, relying on case airflow across the full-board heatsink. The 2 GB GDDR5 frame buffer operates across a 64-bit interface at 6008 MHz effective clock, feeding 384 CUDA cores for stable throughput in desktop workloads and media playback. DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.5 support ensure compatibility with modern APIs during extended sessions.

Questions about this item

Does the card ship with a low-profile bracket and do I need a separate power cable?

The card uses a low-profile design and draws up to 30 W entirely from the PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot, so no extra power cable is required.

Should I pick the 2 GB GDDR5 version or is there a larger memory option for this model?

This model is only offered with 2 GB of 64-bit GDDR5 memory running at 6008 MHz; no higher-capacity variant exists for the GT 1030 2GH LP OC.

What does the 384 CUDA core count mean for everyday workloads in a compact PC?

The 384 CUDA cores handle hardware-accelerated video playback, multi-monitor desktop work and light compute tasks within the 30 W thermal envelope of a small-form-factor system.
