I think the performance here is quite disappointing. I find it remarkable that it has come under stock performance levels when the size and space saving over the reference doesn't seem that significant.
All in all I'm a bit underwhelmed by the 1050ti. A very useful card if you're in a very small case and working to a wattage budget, but I speak as a big admirer of the 750ti and the gains don't seem as impressive when you look at the 750ti-950-1050ti progression, compared to the 970-1070 or 980-1080 for example.

The "Shoot Out" page is a nice addition, though I think the main reason people care about it is how the GPU compares to others that are similar to each other, either in terms of tiers, generations, or price. For example with the 1050Ti, I don't think people care what the results are for anything faster than a 1060 or RX 470. Just my two cents.
As for this GPU, seems to me Zotac made a big mistake - what's the point of having a small GPU if it doesn't change what you can do with it? It is neither low-profile nor a single-slot GPU. The GPU could be several centimeters longer and it wouldn't pose a problem for most cases, as long as it doesn't exceed the length of the motherboard. The GPU runs very cool and quiet as-is.

HEVC Performance??
Hi,
Was wondering how does the HEVC H.265 encoding/decoding performance rank up? Such a card would be ideal for a HTPC where one might want to do some nvidia based encoding or playback.
Thanks
