ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1050 Ti MINI Review - Product Showcase

Product Showcase

Let's start with our photo-shoot. A few pages that show the ins and outs with photos, all taken with an in-house photo-shoot of course. As stated there are two models released, the regular 1050 with 2GB graphics memory yet also the 1050 Ti with 4GB memory (which we test). The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 with 2GB, this one is based on a 640 shader processor en-counting GP107-300 Pascal-GPU. The second SKU would be the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, based on a GP107-400 Pascal based GPU with 768 shader processors.

The ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1050 Ti MINI edition is a boxed in a rather bright packaging. You will spot a very tiny dark PCB and matching in size cooler being used. These cards will look just terrific in a dark themed PC, HTPC and Mini-ITX builds.

As board partners are allowed to release the 1050 Ti model cards in their own configurations you will see many versions, mostly based on customized PCB/components and the obviously mandatory different cooling solutions. This ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1050 Ti MINI rather low clocks on both the GPU and memory sub-system. Power (75 Watts) is delivered though the PCIe slo, there is no added 6-pin PCI-Express power connector. Right out of the box the card is clocked like so (Boost Clock / Base Clock / Memory Frequency): 1418MHz / 1303 MHz / 7008 MHz. 

The card itself is a dual-slot solution, it is simply heat-sink based with one 50mm spinner. Above the backside, everything about the card is simple and small really.
