GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GT OC

Great little card. It works well in my small form factor Dell Optiplex 7010 pc and easily handles any game I can throw at it. Been enjoying GTA V on it with high settings and said good bye to my games console. It also came with a low profile bracket which is essential if you plan to install it in a smaller desktop pc.EDIT: Well I've had this card for roughly two years and had an issue with the cooling fans last week when the card was reporting extremely high temperatures. I uninstalled the card and had a look at it. It seems the fans were malfunctioning, with one turning very slowly and the other which wouldn't move whatsoever.I disassembled the fan shroud (easily done thankfully and only involves removing 4 screws on either side of the shroud and disconnecting the fan power connector) and cleaned the fans and the heatsink before applying a little lubricant to the fans. The card is reporting normal temperatures and fan speeds.Great little card. It works well in my small form factor Dell Optiplex 7010 pc and easily handles any game I can throw at it.

I ended up doing some research and finding a complete replacement (ie fan shroud and two fans) from Aliexpress. Cost, 3 quid or so. It has been working well ever since.

This is not a very powerful card but it is very special. It requires no dedicated power connector from the PSU and uses very little power which comes directly from the motherboard. This means you can convert your any old small form factor (SFF) work PC into a gaming device.Mine came with a low profile bracket included, so it seems safe to assume that it is provided as standard, as well as a normal bracket you see on the product image. It makes no sense to use this card on a full size case, since different form factors of the same GPU appear to be available cheaper.Please also note that you do not need to couple this GPU with a very powerful CPU, since it will be the card which will be the proverbial bottle neck. There are useful videos on YouTube explaining how a powerful CPU will make little difference in terms of frames per second (FPS) you will be able to achieve with this card.I put this into a 5 years old HP Elite 8200 SFF work PC, with i5 2400 CPU and 8gb RAM. I am able to run The Witcher 3 at ultra graphics settings with acceptable FPS. I know what is acceptable is subjective.If you have space in your case, enough power on your PSU and a little more cash in the bank, go with GTX 1060 or better. If you fail in one of these 3 items, this is probably the best card you can get.

This card is ideal for me. It does not require an additional power connection and powers fully from the PCIe slot. I use it in a media server for video transcoding where it performs brilliantly. It has one of the latest NVENC cores so quality is very good and performance it super. Greater than realtime encoding of 1080p HEVC video and 5-7x encodig of 720p HEVC using Handbrake.

I bought this 1050TI to upgrade a machine with an i5 3470, 8GB RAM system.To start with it is a nice looking card. Was easy to install and gives you 4GB VRAM with no external power required, just slot into a free PCI-E x16 slot, install the Nvidia drivers and away you go.I am currently playing World of Warcraft at 1080p reolution, graphics settings on high (Preset 7) and it's running between 45/60FPS(locked).For a budget upgrade it's pretty sweet. I paid about £124 so for the price it's a good buy. There are no real cons apart from the fact the 1060 3GB or 1660 6GB is better but more expensive so looking purely at Price/Performance I am more than happy with this card
