2430 Gainward Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 12GB GDDR6 1777MHz 360GB/s GPU

Enterprise PCIe 4.0 Dual-Slot GPU Add-in Card for Graphics and Entry Compute with 2430

The 2430 is a full-height, dual-slot Gainward GPU add-in card based on the NVIDIA Ampere platform, designed to introduce workstation-class acceleration into standard PCIe servers and towers without redesigning the host system. With 3rd Gen Tensor Cores and 2nd Gen RT Cores, the 2430 supports a balanced mix of interactive graphics, media processing, and light CUDA/Tensor development workflows where deterministic display output and broad API coverage matter.

Architecturally, the 2430 pairs 12GB GDDR6 on a 192-bit interface with PCIe 4.0 x16 connectivity to keep asset streaming and dataset staging responsive for single-GPU nodes. The memory footprint helps reduce paging in VDI sessions, content timelines, and inference prototyping, while the dual-fan axial cooling and 170W board power profile align with typical enterprise chassis power and airflow budgets. Multi-display connectivity (3x DisplayPort 1.4a plus 1x HDMI 2.1) enables up to 4 outputs, supporting 8K pipelines and operator consoles from a single adapter.

Why Choose the 2430?

The 2430 provides an efficient density-to-capability ratio for environments that need predictable GPU acceleration per node without moving to higher-power accelerator classes. For IT teams standardizing on PCIe 4.0 platforms, the 2430 offers scalable deployment across VDI pods, edge compute servers, and departmental workstations, while maintaining straightforward integration via a single 8-pin auxiliary power connector and proven driver ecosystem.

Gainward focuses on robust board design, validated cooling behavior, and sustained operation under continuous load, aligning the 2430 with modern data center practices where stability, lifecycle consistency, and compatibility with DirectX 12 Ultimate, Vulkan 1.3, and OpenGL 4.6 are operational requirements rather than optional features.

Key Applications:

• Virtualization and VDI graphics acceleration
• Multi-display media editing and playback
• AI inference development and CUDA prototyping
• Visualization and real-time rendering
