Low-profile GT 1030 for compact builds

This MSI GT 1030 2GH LP OC is a low-profile graphics card built for small-form-factor PCs. It uses a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot that operates at x4 electrical width. The GeForce GT 1030 GPU provides 384 CUDA cores and 2GB of GDDR5 memory on a 64-bit bus. It suits office work, media playback and light gaming where space is limited.

Passive cooling with 30 W TDP

The card relies on a passive cooler, so it adds no fan noise to the system. Thermal design power is 30 W and the manufacturer recommends a 300 W power supply. With no moving parts on the cooler, reliability is improved in dusty environments. Power is drawn entirely from the slot, so no extra cables are required.

2 GB GDDR5 on a 64-bit bus

The frame buffer is 2 GB of GDDR5 running at an effective 6008 MHz across a 64-bit interface. This capacity and bus width set the practical limit for texture-heavy workloads at 1080p. If your application needs more video memory or wider bandwidth, a different card is required.

Questions about this item

How do I install the GT 1030 2GH LP OC into a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot that uses x4 lanes, and what step is often missed?

Insert the card into the PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot; it will operate at x4 lanes. The low-profile bracket must be swapped for a full-height bracket if your case needs it, and the HDCP 2.2 handshake must be enabled in the OS for protected content.

What maintenance or replacement will the fanless GT 1030 2GH LP OC need later?

The passive cooler has no moving parts to wear out. Periodically remove dust from the heatsink fins with compressed air so the 30 W thermal design power can still be dissipated silently.

What limit appears first when the GT 1030 2GH LP OC runs sustained loads?

The 30 W power envelope and passive cooler cap the GPU at its 1518 MHz boost clock. Once the heatsink saturates, clocks throttle to stay within the 30 W thermal design power.
