ASUS Announces Latest Line-Up of Graphics Cards Powered by NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 GPUs
The power of the new Pascal architechture in graphics cards is undeniable, as you probably suspected - the Ti versions should be upon us soon. On October 25th, it begins with the GTX 1050 Ti, and ASUS has decided to kick it off with four designs: the Expedition Series, Dual Series, Phoenix Series and ROG with the Strix Series! Now everyone can be excited about Pascal, and not just for higher-end builds.
Pick one that's perfect for your build. There has never been so many choices and so much power for so little cash. The trend for compact PC builds is rising rapidly and these are not your only options, but rather the most sensible options due to size, performance, power consumption and heat (or lack thereof).
For each series, both the latest NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti version and a GTX 1050 version are available. GTX 1050 Ti features 768 CUDA cores paired with 4GB of GDDR5 memory on the 128-bit bus, and GTX 1050 features 640 CUDA cores paired with 2GB of GDDR5 memory on the 128-bit bus. The new GP107-400 chip featured is more than sufficient for all the biggest eSports titles running at full-HD, and they'll go nicely with the official monitor for TI6 - the ROG Swift PG248Q.
The GTX 1050 Ti versions have a base clock of 1290MHz and 1392MHz for boost clock, and as always with ASUS' customizations you will have great performance, better cooling (up to 30% cooler than reference), less noise (three times quieter plus 0dB fan technology), better quality and reliability (Auto-Extreme production process and dust-proof fan design). The GTX 1050 version has a base clock of 1354MHz and boost clock of 1455MHz.
All these cards are designed to be without the need for external power, just plug in the card and off you go! The first thing that hits you after you install it would be - how I wish graphics cards would get rid of those unsightly power cables entirely! Needless to say, nobody will be troubled by sagging due to the length and weight.
The OC version of the ROG Strix Series will come factory-overclocked, while all Strix Series cards have AURA SYNC to light up your system without inducing an epileptic fit. The RGB lighting in your system's going to look niceeee and synced with your ASUS/ROG motherboard!
The quality bushed-metal backplate (just the same as on bigger siblings) hasn't been skimped. And even ASUS FanConnect is there to control and monitor the airflow surrounding the graphic card.
These cards come with two DVI-D outputs, an HDMI 2.0 output and a DisplayPort 1.4.
All of these cards will be available worldwide from October 25th!
