[SOLVED] Is this card currently available or not?

[sdedu77]

This graphics card got my attention: https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GeForce-GT-1030-AERO-ITX-2G-OCV1
My problem is that my monitor only has a VGA port and I don't want to go with adapters. I also know there IS another VGA version of the GT 1030, but I'd rather go for a bigger fan since it will probably be quieter.
That being said, I can't seem to find anywhere online, and if I do it has DVI instead.

So, what do you think? Is it available? Is it some kind of prototype? It is discontinued? Or is it yet to be released? Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, it seems to be expensive relative to a normal 1030, and only one seller selling it.

It might be a better idea to get a more powerful card, or a more mainstream 1030, and use an adapter.

Cooling SHOULDN'T be noisy on a 1030 with almost any fan, given that there are passively cooled models, and the card's only got a 30W TDP.

It's on Amazon, but it's listed for a high price. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B07DQL13CM/ref=dp_olp_new_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=new

Just get an adapter. https://www.amazon.com/Moread-Gold-...mi+to+vga&qid=1556656553&s=electronics&sr=1-5

I was given to understand that an active adapter, rather than passive, would be needed to work reliably.

Thank you all for the replies! If I can't find a good deal, then i might reconsider the adapter story or go for the other VGA model.

Yup. Few cards have VGA anymore. HDMI to VGA active converters have worked for me in the past.

Update:

While the title says it has GDDR4 memory, in the specifications it is GDDR5.

Cooling SHOULDN'T be noisy on a 1030 with almost any fan, given that there are passively cooled models, and the card's only got a 30W TDP.

Combined with the high price, I think I'll just go for the Zotac VGA model. In my country it's $95 right now, but the minimum low lately was $90. Again, thank you all for the replies!

Nope don't even think about buying it. It has conflicting info in the page but it says DDR4 more than DDR5. A couple of reviews said it is the ddr4.
Just buy a known DDR5 card with an adapter. It's not worth having to return if it is indeed DDR4.

 

[King_V]

I cannot emphasize Remix's point strongly enough - DO NOT get the DDR4 variant, its performance is crippled by the slower memory.

Make sure you get the GDDR5 version.
