The NVIDIA GeForce GT 430 PCI graphics card, released on October 11th, 2010, is built on the Fermi architecture and manufactured by TSMC with a 40nm process size. It features a GF108-300-A1 GPU, with 585 million transistors and a density of 5.0M/mm² in a compact 116mm² die. The chip package is a BGA-973.
This single-slot graphics card comes with a length of 145mm, making it suitable for compact systems. It has a suggested minimum PSU of 200W and has no additional power connectors, making it easy to install and power efficient with a TDP of 49W. The board number for this specific design is P1071 SKU 0001.
Running at 700 MHz, the GPU clock provides a decent boost to visual performance, while the shader clock runs at 1400 MHz. The memory clock of 600 MHz handles data at a swift pace. The graphics card features a dedicated 512MB of DDR3 memory with a 64-bit bus interface, resulting in a bandwidth of 9.600 GB/s.
In terms of render configuration, the GT 430 PCI has 96 shading units, 16 TMUs, and 4 ROPs. With a simple dual-SM design, its 64 KB of L1 cache, per SM, and 128 KB of L2 cache work together to provide efficient rendering.
Theoretical performance rates are impressive, with a pixel rate of 2.800 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 11.20 GTexel/s. With a single-precision (FP32) floating-point performance of 268.8 GFLOPS and double-precision (FP64) performance of 22.40 GFLOPS, the GT 430 PCI is suitable for graphics-intensive tasks.
The graphics card supports the latest graphics technologies, including DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.6, and OpenCL 1.1. Although it does not support Vulkan, it does support CUDA 2.1 and Shader Model 5.1.
Retail boards based on this design are scarce, with only one available. The compact yet powerful GT 430 PCI is an end-of-life production, having been succeeded by newer models. It has received 33 reviews in our database, showcasing its reliability and efficiency.
In summary, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 430 PCI is a compact and powerful graphics card, ideal for smaller systems. Its impressive theoretical performance, along with its support for the latest graphics technologies, makes it a reliable and efficient choice. With an easy installation process and low power consumption, it is a wise investment for those looking for a compact yet powerful graphics card.
