Nvidia Geforce GT 1030 (GP108) Rumoured

Rumours of a GT 1030 (GP108) started to spread yesterday after it made an appearance in an AIDA64 update. It's never going to set the gaming community on fire. But if it is indeed based on Pascal architecture it should have all the features required for a modern HTPC; 4K, 8K, HEVC, HDR, DP 1.4, HDMI 2.0b, HDCP 2.2

Whilst there are mid-range cards with this feature set, there hasn't been anything in a low profile / passively cooled form factor. This should have similar, or even lower, power and cooling requirements as the GT 730. Rumoured to go on sale 17th May.

I don't know what card this is but it's definitely not a 1030

Real product shots have now been leaked including a couple of passive models.

Cards are now available to order in a variety of sizes and cooling options. I particularly like the look of the low profile one from MSI which has a passive cooler and both HDMI and DisplayPort. A great HTPC card which runs on 30W or less.
