MSI Unveils GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Low-profile Graphics Card
MSI unveiled the first half-height (low-profile) graphics card based on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. The MSI GTX 1050 Ti 4GT LP graphics card features a half height PCB, and a dual-slot cooling solution that uses a pair of 50 mm fans ventilating a dense aluminium heatsink. The card is 18.2 cm in length, and includes both standard- and low-profile I/O shields.
The MSI GTX 1050 Ti 4GT LP relies on the PCI-Express slot for all its power. It ticks at NVIDIA reference clock speeds of 1290 MHz core, 1392 MHz GPU Boost, and 7.00 GHz (GDDR5-effective) memory. It features 4 GB of GDDR5 memory across the GPU's 128-bit wide memory interface. Display outputs include one each of dual-link DVI, HDMI 2.0b and DisplayPort 1.4 connectors. MSI didn't reveal pricing.

In a tower case the card is usually laying flat so what you call height, IS the width.
If the card is vertical, then it is correct.
Although I think this is a failing of case makers to not make a low profile dual slot case.
WHY DONT WE GET THESE STATESIDE?!?
@MSI please make a single-slot full-height version too! And if you want massive bonus points, a single-slot low-profile version...
In other news, HIS will make single slot RX 460:
Edit: there's actually product side on HiS home page:

Not saying it's impossible, but very hard to fit and card could become very long. And looking how niche thing than would be, I'm not waiting miracles. Although Tesla P4 is full fat gp104 and it's low profile and single slot :ohwell:

To install the heat sink I had to flip 8 capacitors to the other side of the board.
Problems:
- There is no way you can find a short single slot L bracket for this card. The stock bracket is fixed to the DVI connector that I had to remove.
- This card doesn't drive a CPU fan. I don't know why. Low profile cards from two previous generations (Kepler and Maxwell) of NVIDIA cards could do it. However the card is so energy efficient that with the passive heat sink it is just 30 degrees Celsius. Under the load it went up to 60. I think I will power up the fan from the motherboard slowing it down so much that it barely rotates.
I don't like the design of this card. Not only it occupies two slots, but also the rework was quite difficult. A similar heat sink install in low profile 750 Ti required flipping of just three capacitors vs 8 in this card.
