Featuring an overclocked core, slightly overclocked memory, and based on NVIDIA’s Pascal architecture, the MSI GeForce GTX 1050 GAMING X 4G Graphics Card provides major improvements in performance, memory bandwidth, and power efficiency over its predecessor, the high-performance Maxwell architecture. It also introduces innovative graphics features and technologies that redefine the computer as the platform for playing AAA games.
The front panel of the card features a variety of outputs. There is one DisplayPort 1.4 output, one HDMI 2.0b output, and one DVI-D Dual-Link output. The GTX 1050 Ti is not just about high-resolution gaming. Computationally intensive programs can utilize the GPU’s 768 cores to accelerate tasks using CUDA or other APIs.
To keep cool, even when overclocked, MSI implemented their Twin Frozr VI cooler on this card. The Twin Frozr VI cooler uses two large fans to force air through the heatsink and dissipate heat and lower the GPU’s internal temperature. Because this kind of cooler recirculates air back into the case, this card works best in cases that have unrestricted airflow. You can also control the side and front LEDs to match your build.

I upgraded my graphics card after 10 years with this one from MSI. So far I am pleased with the performance on my desktop. The applications open much faster and respond more smoothly, especially the video intensive ones.

I put these in machines that I’m usually going to login to remotely. Cheap. Allows the computer to boot. Will not blow your socks off. Do not use if you are going to connect it to a real monitor or use multiple monitors.

I didn’t need a card for fast gaming. Just for 4k video slide shows. Even then, graphic cards of most any kind were hard to find. Even used cards were over priced. Plugged this one in downloaded the latest drivers, and everything worked just fine.

I don’t order a ton, but when I do and I find that B&H has what I need at a good price, I always feel great ordering from them. Very reliable shipping. Great communication.

I needed a Graphics card update to run new software for my Dell XPS 8300. The software required a minimum 2 GB card that works with DirectX 12 and Shading 6. The old computer required a PCIe x16 card, and a small draw on the power supply. This card fit the bill nicely, and I have yet to hear either of its cooling fans come on. I’m not a gamer but I do sometimes get into graphics intensive stuff like video and photography programs. The program I bought that needed the graphics upgrade is a 3D CAD intensive program.

This works wonderfully, was easy to install, and as advertised. It works great on my Windows 10 PC, and for using the virtual world: Second Life. I recommend it highly.
