GPUSED’S TAKE

The verdict

The 2GB DDR3 GT 430 offered more memory than the usual entry-level Fermi board, but its small GPU still belonged in a modest display or media PC. Contemporary reviews tested the DDR3 family rather than this exact capacity, so the extra 1GB is not treated as a gaming upgrade.
