125 Euro here with 2 games wich make more atractive price/perf as RX470 have the same price,
On the other side of the frontier (in france) it's the price of the non Ti with only 1 game
in Euro zone we don't have the same price from 1 country from other...

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.

Excellent review Hilbert. Tiny litlle fellow , ideal for a mini itx buld.

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

There are modern IGPs and ARM devices that can handle HEVC H.265 4K video playback. This GPU is likely overkill for a HTPC.

OMG your still using old drivers with OC limits. Okay the GPU clock was probably going to be power limited with this board anyway but maybe some memory overclock would have given better results.
Guess we'll never know, a least not from this review.

I would know, because I've done it (albeit, I had to remove the cover since it sticks out a little too far).
If I want to get a GPU because it's small, I would rather get one that's small in an advantageous way. A low-profile micro ATX case is often smaller than a full-profile mini ITX case. In order for a GPU's size to be a selling point, it should fit a niche that full-size or dual-slot GPUs can't do.
I think you missed my point. The largest 1060 model you can find would fit in most, if not all of the same cases that this GPU would also fit in. Since this 1050Ti is neither single-slot nor low-profile, this GPU's size won't give it any advantage over any GPUs that are a little bit bigger than it. ITX cases that can accommodate dual-slot or full-profile GPUs aren't always very limiting; I have one that can fit this GPU in it:
