Gigabyte GeForce GT 1030 Low Profile 2G, Black

Product Information

As i also installed a large diaphragm microphone in the working room, I had to chose a fanless graphics card. These small fans make a lot of noise (for the high sensitivity microphone), even if the graphic card is not fully utilized. The GT 1030 (passively cooled) is a good tradeoff in this case, but it also throttles a little bit during gaming to prevent overheating. The card comes with 4352 CUDA Cores, 34 RT Cores (3rd Generation), and 136 Tensor Cores (4th Generation). It uses a cut-down version of the AD106 GPU Chip and is built on the smaller 5nm fabrication process. It comes with 8GB GDDR6 memory that has a 128-bit interface and runs at a speed of 17 Gbps. The card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, Vulkan, PCI-Express 4.0 (x8), Real-Time Ray Tracing, HDMI 2.1, Resizable BAR, G-Sync, AV1 Hardware Encode/Decode, HDMI 2.1, Deep Learning Super Sampling 3 (DLSS 3). The maximum power consumption of the card is 115W and it requires one 8-pin PCIe power connector. The PSU recommendation for this card is of 450W. Display connectivity options include two DisplayPort 1.4a Ports and two HDMI 2.1a ports. Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 OC Low Profile 8G Specifications I’m not a gamer except for some old arcade games that any card will drive. (joust, dig-dug, MarioBros, PacMan, etc) The GeForce GT 1030 was an entry-level graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on May 17th, 2017. Built on the 14 nm process, and based on the GP108 graphics processor, in its GP108-300-A1 variant, the card supports DirectX 12. This ensures that all modern games will run on GeForce GT 1030. The GP108 graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 74 mm² and 1,800 million transistors. It features 384 shading units, 24 texture mapping units, and 16 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 2,048 MB GDDR5 memory with the GeForce GT 1030, which are connected using a 64-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1228 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1468 MHz, memory is running at 1502 MHz (6 Gbps effective). Currently the most powerful graphics card you can install on OptiPlex 3020, 7020, 9020 SFF is the RTX A2000. It’s a workstation card that performs close to RTX 3050 but consumes 70 watts. It’s essentially a cut down version RTX 3050 that comes in both 6GB or 12GB versions.

I ended up now with ASUS GeForce GTX 1650 OC Low Profile in the living room for gaming and multimedia and MSI GeForce GT 1030 2GB LP OC in my working room for work and (low/medium settings) gaming. GeForce GT 1030 utilizes an all-new graphics processor called GP108, composed of 1.8 billion transistors. It’s a teeny thing at just 70mm², thanks to the same 14nm FinFET process used to manufacture GP107. Compare that to GeForce GT 730’s GK208 chip with 1.02 billion transistors in an 84mm² die. Or how about the GeForce GTX 750 Ti, which we’re making the GT 1030 battle in today’s benchmarks? That card’s GM107 GPU has a similar transistor count as GP108, but in a 148mm² die, owing to its 28nm manufacturing process.P.S. –If you want both low profile and passive GeForce GT 1030 card then you should go for EVGA GeForce GT 1030 SC Passive Low Profile. ZOTAC GeForce GT 1030 2GB GDDR5 Specifications Here we have the low-profile MSI Radeon R7 240 that comes with 2GB DDR3 memory. The performance of this card is comparable to the GeForce GT 730. This card comes with active cooling with one fan but it occupies two slots because of its larger height of HSF. The card supports Crossfire which is a multi-GPU technology. This low-profile graphics card can play games like CSGO, COD4, and Far Cry 3 pretty well on medium settings at 1080p. The card runs pretty cool and requires only a 250W – 300W power supply. Connectivity options include DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort which are located on the rear. Let’s begin with two GPU upgrade options that make the most sense – they have a good price to performance ratio and don’t require any changes to the hardware whatsoever. GeForce GTX 1650 4GB GDDR6 – For all Dell OptiPlex Mini Tower (MT) models you can use this 75 Watts GPU which does not require an auxiliary PCIe power connection. At your own risk, you can run a more powerful GPU if you use a SATA to 8 or 6pin power adapter. Here we have ZOTAC GeForce GT 1030 2GB GDDR5 Low Profile Graphics Card based on the latest Pascal GPU architecturefrom Nvidia. It comes with 384 CUDA Cores and 2GB GDDR5 video memory. GeForce GT 1030 is a budget graphics card meant for playing eSports titles and older games on high settings at a decent resolution. Also, you can play some of the latest games on low settings at 720p resolution on this card.

Less Power Consuming – Because of their small size and fewer components, low-profile graphics cards consume less power than regular-sized graphics cards. Almost all the low-profile graphics cards do not need an external power connector from the PSU, and they work only on the power supplied by the PCI Express x16 slot. Also, you do not need a high-wattage power supply for them, as a budget PSU of 400W is enough for them, given that it is an average PC build. Because of the above-mentioned benefits, low-profile graphics cards are mostly used in slim SFF cases and for building an HTPC. They are also used in budget PCs for light gaming, and for running multiple monitors for work. So why is GP108 so much more complex of a GPU than GK208? The two GPUs do span a couple of different architectures, so they’re organized differently, for starters. Find out what are the best possible GPU upgrade options for the whole range of Dell OptiPlex models– 3010, 7010, 9010, 3020, 7020, 9020. These graphics cards are great for 1080p High, and 1440p Medium gaming.Last but not least is the MSI RX 550 4GT LP OC. This low profile graphics card comes with a range of great features from MSI that will make it a worthy investment for a smaller PC case setup. XFX Radeon RX 550 4GB Low Profile is one of the most powerful low-profile graphics cards from AMD on this list. Radeon RX 550 is a budget graphics card from AMD that is built on the latest Polaris GPU architecture. The card comes with 512 Stream Processors and 4GB GDDR5 memory.
