With an overclocked core and based on NVIDIA's Pascal architecture, the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 G1 Gaming 2G Graphics Card provides major improvements in performance, memory bandwidth, and power efficiency over its predecessor, the Maxwell architecture.
The front panel of the card features a variety of outputs. There are one DisplayPort 1.4 output, three HDMI 2.0b outputs, and one DVI-D Dual-Link output. The GTX 1050 is not just about high-resolution gaming: Computationally intensive programs can utilize the GPU's 640 cores to accelerate tasks using CUDA or other APIs.
This card features Gigabyte's WINDFORCE 2X cooling system. The cooling system uses two 90mm fans. The airflow is split by the triangle fan edge and guided smoothly through the 3D stripe curve on the fan surface. The 3D Active Fan feature provides semi-passive cooling, which means the fans will remain off when the GPU is under a set loading or temperature for low power gaming. The card also has customizable RGB lighting, which supports up to 16.8 million colors. There are numerous lighting options so you can pick the right scheme for your gaming rig through the XTREME Engine utility.
