Following Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti announcement, EVGA blasted out ten new graphics cards.
EVGA is currently working on five GTX 1050 Ti graphics cards and five 1050 models. In addition to the relatively plain EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, EVGA is also working on super clocked, SSC, and FTW variants, as well. Three of these cards utilize EVGA’s ACX 3.0 thermal solution, which we typically see on power-hungry graphics cards that require a high-performance cooler. The ACX 3.0 is probably overkill on the GTX 1050 Ti and should keep the GPU cool with ease.
The lower-end EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and 1050 Ti SC use a more compact thermal solution with a single fan.

In addition to the superior thermal solution, EVGA’s GeForce GTX 1050 Ti FTW graphics cards also have a six-pin power connection, whereas all of the other EVGA GTX 1050 Ti cards run entirely off of the the PCI-E x16 slot's power. Technically, the GTX 1050 Ti needs just 75W of power, but it would likely be difficult to overclock due to power constraints.
The six-pin power connection overcomes this issue and will give you plenty of overclocking headroom. This is backed up by an increase from 3+1 power phases to 4+1. This should help avoid thermal issues that would typically arise from the increase in power. All of these cards also come with EVGA's Precision XOC overclocking software.
The other five cards announced by EVGA are GeForce GTX 1050 GPUs (Non-Ti). These cards are identical to their GTX 1050 Ti counterparts except they have fewer cores, less memory, and operate at different clock speeds. Here again, EVGA added six-pin power connectors to the FTW cards to provide more juice for overclocking.
There is currently no word on pricing or availability.
