MSI GT 1030 AERO ITX 2G OC

One of the simplest and most affordable video cards based on the NVidia Pascal architecture. The card is positioned as a low-cost solution for systems equipped with processors without an integrated graphics core. The main distinguishing feature of this model can be considered compact dimensions, namely the shortened length of the PCB textolite. This allows it to be installed in ultra-compact mini-ITX cases, which are used to assemble small-sized personal computers and advanced computer media systems with enhanced functionality.

The MSI GT 1030 AERO ITX 2G OC graphics card is based on the GP108-300 GPU, equipped with 384 compute and 24 texture units, and 2 GB of GDDR5 graphics memory with a 64-bit data bus. Such a modest hardware configuration has little heat dissipation, and MSI's massive proprietary two-slot Aero cooling system is designed to ensure the correct temperature conditions of the chip even in a cramped mini-ITX case.

The gaming performance of the card is not great, however, at medium-low graphics settings at a resolution of 1920x1080, it provides an acceptable frame rate in most of the most graphics-demanding games of 2016-2017 in terms of graphics. To connect the monitor, there is a DVI-D and HDMI interface, and the latter is capable of displaying an image with a resolution of 3840x2160 at a refresh rate of 60 Hz.
