Hi guys, which one is better? They say MSI but is there a huge diffrence between them?
Both Asus GTX 1050 Ti Expedition and MSI GTX 1050 Ti Gaming X would have the same graphics performance (as they are both aftermarket GTX 1050 Ti). What sets them apart are their differences in cooling, power consumption, and aesthetics. They both are quiet cards.
Noise Levels:
SAME
Asus = 37.0 dBA (Idle), 37.1 dBA (Gaming)
MSI = 37.0 dBA (Idle), 37.2 dBA (Gaming)
Thermal Dissipation:
MSI
Asus = 28C (Idle), 68C (Gaming)
MSI = 28C (Idle), 62C (Gaming)
Power Consumption:
Asus
Asus = 31W (Idle), 104W (Gaming)
MSI = 31W (Idle), 113W (Gaming)
It is up to you which one is your priority. If you want better cooling, the MSI certainly wins by a few degrees. If you want lower power consumption, the Asus uses slightly less wattage. Aesthetics-wise is very subjective and only you can decide.
If budget is a grave concern, get the cheapest between the two. You can't go wrong with either.
