MSI GT 1030 2GH LP OC

Low-cost baby

The GTX 1030 is the youngest model in NVIDIA's 1000 series. The people called it a “plug” for its minimal performance and price, but despite its modest characteristics, the graphics card will easily find a place in the user's computer. Especially in the form of the MSI GT 1030 2GH LP OC model with passive cooling, which will perfectly complement the passive PC build.

Modest but tasteful

The graphics card is based on a 14nm GP108 chip and is equipped with 384 CUDA cores operating at a frequency of 1227 MHz standard to 1468 MHz boost. The model has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory operating at 6000 MHz and a 64-bit bus. Also note 16 render units and 24 texture units.

Enough space everywhere

The graphics card compensates for modest characteristics with low power consumption — only 30 W with no additional power supply, DisplayPort video connector, the need for only 4 PCIe lanes, and DirectX 12 support. Specifically, the MSI GT 1030 2GH LP OC version and overclocked to 1265 MHz standard and up to 1518 MHz in boost.

eSports ticket

The characteristics of the graphics card are sufficient for e-sportsmen. In DotA 2, CS:GO, World of Tanks, Rocket League and even Rainbow Six Siege on minimum settings, the player will get a stable 60 FPS at least, and in serious and heavy games like Witcher 3 and Battlefield 1 — about 30 FPS. Plus, with DisplayPort, you can output to high-frequency gaming monitors and enjoy 144Hz smoothness in old-school games and on the desktop. The MSI GT 1030 2GH LP OC is an excellent low-cost graphics card for low cost builds. This model will also not come with slower DDR4 memory instead of GDDR5, such as the MSI GT 1030 2GD4 with active cooling.
