MSI Unveils Low profile GTX 1050 Ti

Yup, you read it correctly.
A new low profile "flagship" is coming, sooner than when a low profile 750 Ti appeared and also without the requirement of an additional power connector.

Specifications will be the same as a reference GTX 1050 Ti:

  • 4 Gigs of VRAM with an effective speed of 7 GHz
  • 1290 MHz Base GPU clock
  • 1392 MHZ Boost clock

There are no mentions about pricing, Guru3D speculates that it will sit in the 159 USD/150 EUR mark, but that's based on current prices.

No idea on what day it will arrive, but I hope it arrives soon... it's quite a nice little weapon :P

Does the card being that low profile help if the metal part is still fullsize?  Do we have to do a Linus on this to make it fit? :D (angle grinder :P)

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

Well, these cards come with both metal brackets: full size and low profile, unlike GT 610s and craps like that :P

Now comes the single slot one (pls, make that happen).

Yeah that seems like the obvious next step.  A low profile, but dual slot just looks weird to me :S

Probably someone can turn it into a single-slot low-profile card by removing the fans and shroud and installing a blower fan behind it xD

I don't see the point of this card. GTX 1050 Tis were already tiny, and the unique selling point of something like this would not be it's cooler size (because all the other ones are already small) but single-slot. Then it would make sense.

With this TDP a single slot, a low profile card and a passive cooled version is bound to happen (not all features on the same card of course).

Mineral oil and 40 kg aluminium heat sinks are a perfect combination: 73 cores and a Titan X, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Oil

Yeah I can see each of those existing, just not all at once :P

low profile OEM pc's already have more than one pcie slot. It isn't a big deal. This is amazeballs for those and for 1U server chassis etc etc.

So why buy this? If OEM PCs have more than one PCI-E slot, then why not just buy any of the other dozen dual-slot 1050 Tis?

Because they ain't low profile. Low profile cards like this are great for SFF PCs. Eg. You can get half decent office PC for little money and slot this one it. Sorted.

Less PCB space, less power, less heat. 

 

Big card, more PCB space, more power consumption, more heat. And better overclock
