ASUS Phoenix GeForce GT 1030 OC, PH-GT1030-O2G, 2GB GDDR5, DVI, HDMI

ASUS GT 1030 OC Overview
Based on NVIDIA's Pascal architecture, the ASUS Phoenix GeForce GT 1030 OC Edition Graphics Card provides major improvements in performance, memory bandwidth, and power efficiency over its predecessor, the Maxwell architecture.

The front panel of the card features a variety of outputs. There is one HDMI 2.0b output and one DVI-D output. The GTX 1030 is not just about high-resolution gaming: Computationally intensive programs can utilize the GPU's 384 cores to accelerate tasks using CUDA or other APIs.

For cooling, ASUS implemented a single dual-ball bearing fan. The dual-ball bearing fan avoids the problem of the oil drying, which is common in sleeve-bearing fans. With reduced friction, the dual-ball bearing fan improves the card's lifespan as well as the cooling efficiency.

CUDA
With CUDA, NVIDIA allows applications to hand off CPU-intensive tasks to the GPU. Your GPU is no longer just used for rendering graphics, but it can provide teraflops of floating point performance and accelerate application tasks, from real-time video rendering to fluid dynamics simulation. CUDA is used in many applications and games.

NVIDIA GPU Boost 3.0
Boosts the card's clock speed in real-time based on the target temperature. If the card is running below the set target temperature, GPU Boost 3.0 will increase the clock speed to improve performance. The target temperature can be reset depending on your preference so you can have the card run more quietly for everyday tasks and older games, and run at full tilt during intense high-resolution gaming sequences.
