Compact, powerful card fits in OEM systems and doesn't need external power!

I bought this video card for a budget gaming PC built on the Lenovo TS140 ThinkServer chassis, which is available with a Core i3 4150 or an Intel Xeon E3-1226. I use these little desktop servers for small branch offices as Active Directory domain controllers with file/print server functions and it occurred to me that they are economical &

34;bare bones&

34; systems as they come with 4GB of RAM and no hard drive or operating system. The i3 models can be had for $249 at the time of this review, and the Xeon powered unit for $389. I opted for the Xeon powered unit. This video card is powerful, yet so efficient it does not need a separate 6 pin power connector - it derives all the power it needs from the PCIe slot. Because of this, I did not need to replace the stock PSU. So all I added was an additional 4GB of RAM (it is error correcting (ECC) server RAM, so a li'l more expensive), a 480GB SSD, and an operating system (Windows 10). I have NO WORRIES about playing any game at 1080p resolution at excellent frame rates.

This EVGA 1050ti provided much better performance than expected. The 1050ti is a great GPU for budget gaming builds or when you have a limited power supply. There is no 6 or 8 pin power plug on this card, just plug it into the motherboard and you are done. This bothered me at first, I wasn't sure it would be getting enough power. But it turns out that wasn't an issue at all. This thing sips power, and if you run the Precision OC or MSI Afterburner software, you will see the GPU cruises at just a couple hundred mhz until it's needed for gaming, where it goes close to 1800mhz, and can be overclocked close to 2000 (but I just leave it at the default, it works great). Although this 1050ti SSC has a higher clock speed out of the box than the smaller base model 1050ti cards, if you want to do any extreme overclocking, you may have better results with the 1050ti FTW, which does have a power connector on the card and allows for a higher current draw.

Overall, I had excellent results with some of my older games. CS:GO and Skyrim regular edition (no mods) ran at a steady 130-150fps at almost the highest settings, and by turning down things like shadow detail and reducing the anti aliasing, I was able to get the framerate very close to matching the 165hz of my Dell S2417DG monitor at 2560x1440 resolution! That is very impressive, but they are older games so high framerates are expected. I tried the new DOOM game, which is well optimized from what I understand. at 1080p settings, I was getting a steady 60fps on fairly high settings. The trick with this card is to know where to compromise. If you want Ultra quality at 4k with the newest games at a high frame rate in 2017, this card isn't for you. But with a couple video settings tweaks, you can really get some nice looking performance from this 1050ti SSC.

As of the time of this review, 1060 and 1070 GPUs are still greatly overpriced, and the jump to a GTX 1080 is pretty steep if you are trying to build a "budget" gaming PC. Once 1060 prices come back down to earth, that may be a better option, but for now I have been very impressed with the 1050ti. For 1080p gaming, I would recommend it for any budget build. I do want to note that I was using an i5-6600k (not overclocked) and I never saw my CPU pegged at 100% during these tests. If you decide to use something like a G4560 CPU (which is amazing for the price), you may not get quite the same performance on some games, depending on how CPU dependant they are. I apologize for not being able to test this card with a slower processor, all I had available was my Z170 motherboard and the i5-6600, and I'm also running 16gb G.SKILL 3000mhz ram and a Corsair gold rated 550w power supply. Fairly hefty specs, but as I mentioned earlier, I didn't want to pay double the price of this 1050ti for a GTX1060 6gb. This GPU gives great performance for the price, and I'm very impressed with it so far.

I've finally upgraded from my old 9500GT to the GTX 1050Ti, so this was a huge leap for me... and it was well worth the leap! I'll mention that I did have a few frustrating issues during installation which I usually don't have any issues with, but it turned out okay. I must also mention that they were driver and Operating System related, so if you have Windows 8, 8.1 or Windows 10 please keep this into consideration, and please be patient and thorough if any driver issues comes up, as hardware issues with graphics cards are rare. I'm also willing to share how I fixed my own problems if you have anything similar.

PROs: + IT'S SO QUIET! This is the first time I've ever had such a quiet graphics card, usually they sound like a horse and can be very distracting. You don't even notice that it's running sometimes. + It's a compact size with one heavy duty fan and doesn't take up an extra slot. It powers from the motherboard. There's no need to attach this version to your power supply unit. the card also keeps a consistently and amazingly low temperature, even during use. I have one of those basic Dell Inspiron 530 towers with the factory default fans and it still keeps itself at around 35*C at minimal usage and 40-55*C at intense usage. + It's also a pretty sexy looking card, lol. I spent a while just looking at it. + It plays modern and old games well. It'd do you wonders if you pair it together with a good processor.

CONs: - this is dependent on how you look at it but this EVGA product does not come with any driver installation software like they used to. There are no discs, just an EVGA badge, a manual and the card. So this purchase is only for those who can afford internet access of some kind, otherwise I urge you to look for another manufacturer if you've got no access to the internet.

Best bang for your buck. The GTX 1050 TI is worth the little extra cost from the GTX 1050. With the new i3-7100 dual core processor along with this graphics card I was able to build a budget gaming machine. It plays many games at the 1080p resolution very well. I mainly built this computer for a low end modern Overwatch gaming PC. It plays Overwatch extremely well on 1080p and gets 70 FPS on optimized settings. The optimization comes from GeForce Experience which is a software you will download to keep your graphics card drivers up to date. There is a feature for some popular games where GeForce Experience will decide what the optimal graphics settings are for your hardware. It put many features on ultra and some on high for Overwatch. The gameplay is great. It runs super smoothly and the graphics are tons better than the Xbox version of the game. This card is also super small which is great for very small and simple builds. It doesn't need any external power either. It gets all the power it needs from the PCIe slot, so you don't need to use any extra cables with it. Awesome card for the price. A must have for any budget gamer. I have a gaming Razer laptop with a GTX 970m graphics card in it. The laptop was like $2200. Benchmarks of my GTX 970m are near exactly the same as this desktop GTX 1050 TI. You can build an awesome gaming computer for cheap with this.

5.0 out of 5 stars MI OPINION

Reviewed in Mexico on March 14, 2018

Esta calificación la doy a conocer ya que mi gpu venia con un defecto de fabrica el cual yo ignoraba al principio. esta gráfica me daba temperaturas muy altas en juegos tan simples como lol pasaron dos meses y se me descompuso la gráfica. me puse en contacto con Amazon México y me dijeron que ya había pasado el tiempo estimado de devolución que tenia que contactarme con Gygabite para que me hicieran valida la garantía. desafortunadamente Gigabyte me informa lo siguiente:

Estimado Abraham,

Tengo que informarte que el número de serie de tu tarjeta de vídeo corresponde a una compra en EUA, así lo reporta nuestro Sistema.

Lamentablemente no se puede tramitar tu garantía en México.

Con esta información, Amazon tomará cartas en el asunto.

Una disculpa por no tener forma de ayudarte.

Después me puse en contacto con Amazon México para lo cual como única respuesta me da que me ponga en contacto con Gygabite EUA cuando mi compra y garantía es con Amazon México y pedí ayuda para ver si ellos podían ponerse en contacto ya que no cuento con estudios de ingles a lo que me respondió el representante de Amazon que pidiera ayuda con un familiar o amigo que supiera ingles. por lo cual me tiene algo molesto y espero me den mejor asistencia no solo a mi si no a la gente en general ya que no pude encontrar el contacto con Amazon México en su propia pagina web.

Agradezco una mejor atención ya que si como miembro prime y conocedor de medios digitales no me pueden atender correctamente no me imagino que les dirán a las personas que no tienen idea de como comprar por Amazon.

Nunca antes me había pasado esto y espero tengan mejor atención de aquí en adelante, GRACIAS.

Amazing card for the price. It worked perfectly on my 2012 HP Pavilion HPE. My computer came with an AMD Radeon HD 7570 graphics card. This card could run most games. But it could not run newer titles at full 1080p. The best I could get was 780p with medium to low settings. The EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SC card made my machine a 1080p MONSTER. I can now play new modern titles at 1080p 60-100FPS on medium-ultra settings! Its a night and day difference between my old AMD Radeon HD 7570. Another bonus is the EVGA 1050 Ti SC doesn't need an external power source. You simply plug it into the PCI-E 16x slot and install the drivers and you are GOOD TO GO! Simply put: Plug and Play! I am extremely happy with this purchase and I definitely recommend for anyone who wishes to upgrade their older PC graphics cards to a newer beastly graphics card. One word of advice to all. Make sure to uninstall you're old graphics card drivers before installing the new card. It makes it much easier for your system to read and install the newer drives from scratch. Anyone with integrated graphics disable them before installing the card. Also you need at least a 300W + power supply to run this card! EVGA website confirms 300W minimum PSU.
