The Card

The Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti G1 Gaming follows the company's red and black theme introduced with the most recent GeForce 10 cards. A backplate is included even though it's not as important in this low-cost market segment. Dimensions of the card are 22.0 cm x 12.0 cm.


Installation requires two slots in your system.


Display connectivity options include a DVI port, three HDMI ports, and a DisplayPort. Unlike previous NVIDIA cards, the DVI port no longer includes an analog signal, so you'll have to use an active adapter. NVIDIA also updated DisplayPort to be 1.2 certified and 1.3/1.4 ready, which enables support for 4K @ 120 Hz and 5K @ 60 Hz or 8K @ 60 Hz with two cables.

The GPU also comes with an HDMI sound device. It is HDMI 2.0b compatible, which supports HD audio and Blu-ray 3D movies. The GPU video encoding unit has been updated to support HEVC at 10-bit and 12-bit.


The GeForce GTX 1050 Series does not support SLI.
