A Closer Look

Thanks to the low heat output of the GP107 GPU, a simple heatsink with just one heatpipe is sufficient to keep the card cool. This is the exact same heatsink as on the GTX 1050 Ti Gaming X.


MSI upgraded the power input of their GTX 1050 to a 6-pin. This input configuration is specified for up to 150 watts of power draw.


The uP 9509 voltage controller is a new model for recent NVIDIA cards. It does not support voltage control via I2C.


The GDDR5 memory chips are made by Hynix and carry the model number H5GC4H24AJR-R0cC They are specified to run at 1750 MHz (7000 MHz GDDR5 effective).


NVIDIA's GP107 graphics processor is the company's first chip to use a 14 nanometer production process. It is also the company's first graphics processor to be made at Samsung (not TSMC). The GPU has a transistor count of 3.3 billion and a die size of 132 mm².
