Despite the fact that the cards only use four PCIe lanes internally, the external connector requires a PCIe x16 slot.Welcome to /r/NVIDIA.

Accordingly, the actively-cooled models are smaller and only use up a single slot. This is low enough, even for the passively cooled models that use up two slots in order to ensure proper cooling. Why MSI has made this decision remains a mystery.Īll six cards lack additional power connectors and are thus powered through the PCIe slot alone, and have a TDP of 30 W. This is also the case with the normal-sized GT 1030, but unlike the low-profile cards, they lack the DisplayPort connector on the back. For example, two low-profile PCBs for small cases are available, one with passive and one with active cooling. The cards differ in terms of connectivity, cooling solution, and size. The company has a total of six different 1030-based graphics cards on offer right now, and all six of them feature 2 GB of 64-bit GDDR5 VRAM. Our GeForce GT 1030 review sample, a GeForce GT 1030 2GH OC, was provided by MSI.
