Entry-level NVIDIA GPU

The MSI N430GT V5 D3 2G is a GeForce GT 430 graphics card built for basic desktop display and light multimedia tasks. It suits office PCs, home-theatre systems or older workstations that need a dedicated video output without high power draw.

PCI Express 2.0 16X interface limits

The card plugs into a PCI Express 2.0 16X slot, so its data path tops out at the bandwidth of that generation. On newer platforms the link will run at 2.0 speeds, which caps throughput for any compute or texture streaming workloads.

2GB GDDR3 frame buffer at 1334MHz

Two gigabytes of GDDR3 on a 128-bit bus handle 2560×1600 resolution for desktop use and video playback. The memory capacity and bus width run out quickly with modern games or GPU-accelerated creative applications, limiting the card to legacy or undemanding titles.
