GTX 1050 low profile

tarmiricmi · Oct 21, 2016

Hi all,
just wondering, now when the GTX 1050 is scheduled to appear on the market, I wonder how long we'll wait for the low profile edition :wahoo:

Waiting to upgrade my Lenovo Thinkcentre

not seen a true low profile card yet but here is what i have found so far http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-3047729/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1000-series-megathread-faq-resources.html#17902604

will keep it updated as more are released. most so far use no extra power but a few had an extra 6-pin power input.

tarmiricmi :

Not sure of any low profile editions, but they are coming soon.

NVIDIA's GTX 1050 Ti will be available in the market by Tuesday, Oct. 25th, while the GTX 1050 will be out in November 8th with a price tag ranging from $109 USD up to $139 USD.

What you guys think of performance yield difference of 1050 (ti) compared to 750 (ti), as its predecessor? 30, 40, 50%?

Math Geek · Oct 21, 2016

numbers i have seen leaked suggest it will be a touch better than a 960. how much better was a 960 over a 750ti in %?? don't know that number off the top of my head but i'd add another few % to that as a good educated guess.

^ 30% better , maybe a little more than that.

The upcoming GeForce GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti cards are expected to arrive with a starting price of $109 and $139 respectively. Although fans might find the $30 difference a bit harsh for its class, it is important to know that the Ti variant of the new GPU has a 4GB DDR5 memory, while the base model GTX 1050 only has half of that. The GTX 1050 Ti also has more CUDA cores than GTX 1050 at 768 compared to the latter's 640.

If 1050 is specs-similar to 960, than according to gpuboss.com it should look something like this:

Battlefield 3 50 vs 80 FPS = 37% difference

Which is amazing given the power draw of the 1050!

PS
1050TI could be even more stronger

Math Geek · Oct 21, 2016

the thread i linked above has a chart with some leaked numbers comparing a 1050 ti to some other cards in the price range. not seen any for the 2 gb 1050 model leaked yet. also seen some prices for pny cards on their site which are also linked there. lots of good reading there to pass the time chasing the rumor mill

Dark Lord of Tech · Oct 21, 2016

I personally would get a 1050 ti , the standard 1050 is just a shell compared to it.

tarmiricmi · Oct 21, 2016

Sure, I totally agree

Here is the performance difference, 1050 vs 750, source:

madmatt30 · Nov 24, 2016

At the right price that will sell like wildfire & it thoroughly deserves to.

A 75w low profile card with that kind of performance is honestly something I never thought I'd see.

tarmiricmi · Nov 24, 2016

Actually I'd take it at almost any price, because it's only solution for my small case Lenovo PC

Hi tarmiricmi, have you bought MSI gtx 1050 ti low profile card? If yes, just wanted to hear your experience with it. I also wanted to know it's length in mm. Specs states that it's 182 mm, can you confirm that this length includes bracket plate? I have Dell Optiplex 9010 and it has +-182 mm space for the card (mb power connector is limiting this space) - so so... afraid that it would not fit... Also, how's the quality of the card?

tarmiricmi · Dec 11, 2016

Hi, I have ordered it but not yet received. Maybe someone from the forum have tested it? For my PC, it is the height that is critical, not width or length or even card's power draw.

Aligys · Dec 11, 2016

Well, same here. I have Dell Optiplex 9010 Small Form Factor (SFF), only takes the half height card(s). It has two PCI-e slots, one x16, one shorter. It's actually the last SSF Dell that is possible to install dual-slot half-height card in - in the next gen computers Dell has swapped x16 and shorter PCI-e slots in places, meaning no more dual-slot cards for x16... But I think that you should also be concerned about the length of the card. If you have GTX 750 low profile, then bear in mind, that MSI GTX 1050 ti is longer. I have Gigabyte GTX 750 TI OC LP and it also has a cooler module a bit ovalish, so it would fit better even if it was longer... whereas MSI is squarish.

Aligys · Dec 11, 2016

Another small note for those who are concerning about the power: if graphics card does not have external power connector, then basically all branded motherboards (Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, etc.) should deliver power for up to 75 Watts in at least one of the PCI x16 slots (that is basically dedicated for graphics) in no problem - this is standardized (PCI-e), so no need to worry about the original PSU (Overclocking should be left out from this set up

tarmiricmi · Dec 14, 2016

Regarding internal space, as seen from the picture, I have 18 cm of length available. However, if needed, I can move HDD caddy further to the right and gain another 3 cm, so there would be max. 21 cm available. GTX 1050 ti lp will fit surely. Since it is double slotted card, it will take space for mini PCIX slot, but I don't use that anyway so no problem.

Where did you order it from?

tarmiricmi · Dec 14, 2016

Since I live in shitty Eastern Europe/outside EU, I didn't order it as that is not possible, instead I have a friend in Germany who did that for me. You can see retailers in Germany and Austria on this link (scroll down):

FYI, these are available on Newegg now!

tarmiricmi · Dec 15, 2016

Vinny_Chase :

Newegg doesn't do international shipping, so not so useful for me

Romtihus · Dec 17, 2016

Hi all, ordered it today as it is deliverable in 2-3 days in Austria now. I want to upgrade my HP Z230 SFF Workstation. Wasn't aware of the fact that this card is so long. I have exactly 182mm free space for the card, so this is getting kinda pretty damn close :-/ Would be a shame if it doesn't fit :-(
I'll let you know

Whish me luck!
