Hello!

I have used the MSI gt 1030 in the past. (and a NVS 295)

To check compatibility, you need to look which nvidia driver version 
supports that card, this is not specifically related to the OS.

The nvidia driver search gives me the version s 387.xx, so i would try 390..


If this doesn't work, .. i had used the nvidia binaries in the past, 
don't know if it does work now.

You could download it here:

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/127153/

uninstall the nvidia* packages,.. and use a method like this

pfexec beadm list
pfexec beadm create oi-nvidia-387
pfexec beadm mount oi-nvidia-387 /mnt
pfexec pkg -R /mnt uninstall -r driver/graphics/nvidia
pfexec /bin/sh NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-387.run --extract-only
cd NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-387
pfexec pkgadd -R /mnt -d . NVDAgraphics NVDAgraphicsr
pfexec bootadm update-archive -R /mnt
pfexec beadm unmount -f oi-nvidia-387
pfexec beadm activate oi-nvidia-387
pfexec reboot -p

Hope it helps..
