I mean, the GT 1030 is only PCI-E 3.0 x4, right? Why don't they offer two PCBs, preferably the low-profile, single-slot variety, with a PCI-E x1 slot?
I have an actual use-case for these, too.
I've got some Haswell H81 Biostar flex-ATX mobos, they're like ITX, but the first slot is a PCI-E x1, and then the PCI-E x16 is the second slot over.
But they're in Winsys WT-02 cases, which are ITX SFF cases, like micro-ATX size, but only (barely!) accepting a dual-slot flex-ATX mobo, but with only a single low-profile expansion slot. (Slot #1, which is the PCI-E x1 on my boards.)
This appears to be the newest tech available in PCI-E x1. A Zotac GT710.

I would really like a GT1030 in PCI-E x1, for both 4K60 UHD output, as well as VP9 4K60 decoding.
