MSI rolled out a full-height, passive-cooled GeForce GT 1030 graphics card. The MSI GT 1030 2GH OC features a large, 2 slots-thick monoblock aluminium heatsink cooling the GPU and memory. Armed with 2 GB of memory, it features factory-overclocked speeds of 1265 MHz core, 1518 MHz GPU Boost, and an untouched 6.00 GHz (GDDR5-effective) memory. With a typical board power of 30W, the card relies on the PCI-Express bus for all its power. Based on the GP108 silicon, the GeForce GT 1030 features 384 CUDA cores, 24 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and 64-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface, holding 2 GB of memory.

That's one disappointing display output setup

Agree, even that they are the connectors I use. DP would be a requirement for a great HTPC card like this. But at least it's passive which is a great thing :toast:

Nice card with its cooling. I wonder how much.

I've always enjoyed the idea of a passive GPU but the extra heat pumped into the chassis has made it pretty unrealistic, the TDP on these chips seems like a different ball-game though so I'd be interested to see how this performs in a small case.

My past experiences with juicier cards required so much extra airflow you would be better off just using a card with a fan.

Yeah, it definitely helps to have cooling addressed whether on the card or from the case. Positive, static pressure is especially good for smaller, cramped cases.

They have both passive and active cooled models with DP+HDMI outputs instead of DVI:
