MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Gaming X Review

Nvidia's entry-level GPU gets the Twin Frozr treatment. Nvidia's add-in-board partners are so accustomed to working with high-end GPUs that you wonder whether they'd quite know what to do when a tiny 135mm² die lands on their doorstep. The arrival of the GeForce GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti puts manufacturers in that very predicament, as the entry-level GP107 GPU is best suited to small, compact cards that require no additional power and are competitively priced.

The natural tendency, however, is to repurpose existing high-end designs onto a slightly smaller PCB, and MSI has done exactly that with the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Gaming X.

MSI GTX 1050 Ti Gaming X 4G

So earlier this week I took a look at both the GTX 1050 and the GTX 1050 Ti. Both of our samples were from Nvidia and MSI but around the same time I also ended up with a second MSI GTX 1050 Ti, the Gaming X model. It didn’t seem right to just slip the numbers into the other coverage so today I’m going to take a look at the card. It is longer than the other MSI cards and it has a full sized dual fan cooler. They also slipped a 6-pin power connection on it as well so today I’m going to run it through all of our normal tests and see how well it performs.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 OpenGL/Vulkan/OpenCL Linux Performance

Earlier this week NVIDIA began shipping the GeForce GTX 1050 graphics cards and our first review is of a Zotac GeForce GTX 1050 Mini. A GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Linux review is still coming up plus some other articles looking at performance-per-Watt and other interesting areas for these low-cost Pascal-based GPUs. Here are results of the latest NVIDIA Linux performance compared to the latest open-source AMD Linux driver with various Radeon GPUs.

The GeForce GTX 1050 boasts 640 CUDA cores, 2GB of 128-bit GDDR5, and a boost clock up to 1455MHz. The Zotac GeForce GTX 1050 Mini being used for testing today has a core clock of 1354MHz and boost clock of 1455MHz. This small form factor card should work out well for SFF PCs and HTPC setups with a size of 5.7 x 4.3 inches, but sadly is still a dual-slot card. Like the other GTX 1050 cards, no external PCI-E power connection is required with consuming less than 75 Watts.

ROCCAT Skeltr RGB Gaming Keyboard Review
