Even on a older (2009) "big box mart" computer, works great! Its a simple upgade!

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2017

Style: Boost Clock 1518 MHzSize: 2GBVerified Purchase

First off lets look what I'm using this in: A old Walmart "box" Dell Inspiron 560 computer (2009 era) with the Intel e5400 CPU; 10 Gig Ram, Win10 and stock 300 Watt power supply. This by NO means a powerhouse of a computer. With the on-board graphics being only good for the most basic of games and videos, we moved to upgrade the video to a Nvidia GT 520 (2011 era). One of the limiting factors with video cards is the power supply in the computer having enough power. Back then the GT 520 fit the bill only requiring 300W. This card worked fine until games became more graphic heavy.

Playing what would be considered "simple single and multi-player games" with my son (he has a gaming computer) was more of a aggravation then enjoyment. Games like; Flight Simulator, Spin Tires, Euro Truck Simulator, Modern Warfare 2 (all on Steam) would suffer along on only the lowest of settings.

Well this Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 has changed all that. Now these games are running smooth and quick. It's like having a whole new computer, even with the lacking "CPU" power. With the Video settings on High, I'm now "booking" on all my games and simulators!

The GTX 1050 requires only 300W power so no issues there. It does take the space of an extra slot in the back out your PC case, but does push right in to the board with no extra wiring. The fans are quite when the run.

I currently run two monitors, one on HDMI and one with the DVI-D (using a converter to VGA). There is a DP (display port) connector for my third monitor Ill be getting soon.

So far the only lacking is the Utility Program - kinda slow to open but does have different settings you can play this like over-clocking, fan speed, etc.

All in all, this is a great card for the price and a perfect upgrade for a older computer.

runs cool, works well on FreeBSD

Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2017

Style: Boost Clock 1531 MHzSize: 2GBVerified Purchase

A quiet, capable, entry-level 10 series Nvidia. After six months of heavy use, I have to say it works very well. I use mine to drive two busy "productivity" displays with multiple workspaces on a FreeBSD system. The fans rarely kick in (and are not audible over system fans if they do). In the cool of the mid-Atlantic winter, my card has been running at 32-34C in a well-ventilated Corsair case.

I picked this card for:
* large number of outputs (the most of any card pictured on the Nividia site's 1050 page)
* modestly higher clock speeds than the competition, out of the box
* deep fan design (bigger blades can run slower and quieter)
* lower price and power requirements than beefier models
* plenty powerful compared to previous series entry level Nvidia (some of which were barely adequate)

While my use is "productivity", that includes a tremendous number of browser tabs, many of which do leverage hardware acceleration, as well as video playback and light photo editing. This card is beefier than I strictly needed (and would likely be fine for light to medium gaming), but I was also sizing it to handle upgrading from HD to WQHD (which I've done now) and/or driving a third display (which I haven't done yet).

Linux and BSD folks might be interested in the card's dmesg output. This is from FreeBSD 11.1:

Maybe I'm lucky, but goodness gracious this thing is a GEM

Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2017

Style: Boost Clock 1518 MHzSize: 2GBVerified Purchase

I own an outrageous amount of graphics cards right now. I have gone through many this year, too. If you want the TL;DR edition of this, scroll to the very bottom. I definitely touch on the absolute phenomenal value that is this GTX 1050 by Gigabyte.

I won the first consumer GTX 980 in the world back in September 2014 at an Nvidia Game24 event. That was my introduction into high-end GPU's. I held onto that until eventually buying an AMD Radeon Fury-X. I also bought a 980 Ti around the same time. I held onto these until I purchased the RX480 on release day. So I like high-end cards, do not get me wrong. I eventually purchased a GTX 1080 and my RX480 was left with nothing to do. BOOM comes the Panic Pricing of AMD GPU's, and I sold my RX480 for a $100 profit. Funny enough though is around this time I bought another RX480 locally for $120, and made $210 profit on it. With these profits, I started snagging up all the cheap GPU's I could ($300 GTX 1070 FE) ($130 GTX 970) ($180 GTX 980) mainly with the intent to resell. I resold the GTX 970 from that grab for $220.

So I've made a good amount of money from GPU sales already. And I still have plenty of cards for plenty of computers (way more than I need, obviously).

Running:
i7-7700k @ 4.8GHz
16gb DDR4-2400
8GB EVGA GTX 1080 FE

Ryzen 5 1600 @ 4.01GHz
16gb DDR4-3000
8GB EVGA GTX 1070 FE

i3-7350k @ 4.8GHz
8GB DDR4-3000
2GB GeForce GTX 1050

So this means that I have a GTX 980 Reference (from day-1 of Maxwell launch) that's sitting doing nothing, and I also have an EVGA GTX 980 ACX 2.0 SC that'll be doing nothing. And that's alright. Because this little gem of Pascal architecture. TLDR BELOW!

##########################

I fired this thing up in my i3-7350k build and immediately overclocked it. 107% Power, Core Clock 1500mhz base, and VRAM to 8000mhz effective. 128GB/s memory bandwidth because of the 128-bit memory bus. I started with Unigine Heaven to ensure no artifacts or anything. NO ARTIFACTS! Successfully did a benchmark run with it as well using 1920x1080 windowed mode, Ultra settings and Extreme Tessellation.

Benchmarked the GPU in 3dMark Fire Strike. Not a very high score for a low-end Pascal and a dual-core, but that's to be expected.

Fired up Grand Theft Auto V. 1920x1080, all High settings where able. VRAM Buffer was estimating to exceed 2048MB with Very High settings so I had to reduce most to High, and a couple of random ones (Shadows) to normal. Gameplay looks great and is smooth as silk.

This thing never exceeded 69 degrees Celcius in my Phanteks Evolv ITX case. WHAT!??!?!?!?! For what will be $74 after I send in the MIR today, this might just be the best GPU purchase I have ever made. There is no power connector on this, it's lightweight and the black PCB and black cooler/fan will look good when I swap cases to the EVGA Hadron Air I have on hand.

##########################

TL;DR

Stock voltage. 107% power limit.
1500mhz Core / 1864mhz in Game
8000mhz effective memory rate for 128GB/s memory bandwidth
Never exceeds 69 degrees Celcius under load in an ITX case.
Costs less than $100 after mail in rebate.
*Overclocking seems like it has much more headroom. Might try for 2GHz boost clocks?

Great videocard for my needs.

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2023

Style: Boost Clock 1430 MHzSize: 4GBVerified Purchase

This is a very good and quite fast videocard for use within my Dell desktop computer. 4Gigs of built-in GPU RAM is not the fastest you can buy nowadays, nor is it the best option for doing 3D/CGI modeling and rendering. But for my budget, this is a very good card. I connect it to my Samsung UHD monitor via a DisplayPort cable... and it works very well. It has audio capability, but I never use it, as I use a much better audio interface by Focusrite instead. I am not a gamer at all, so I cannot tell you how well this videocard functions for gaming. I presume it is quite adequate for most games out there.

GIGABYTE WINDFORCE OC GTX 1050 Ti 4GB | Overall a great card!!

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2019

Style: Boost Clock 1468 MHzSize: 4GBVerified Purchase

Overall a great card to start out with. Debated between this card & the 1060 6GB but after some time bought this card. It runs great on games in 1080p. Plays Farming Sim 19 on Very High settings and still getting around 55+ FPS. Runs very cool and silent when not gaming. Ive reccomended this card to a fellow friend and he bought this exact card and it has performed well for him. In other words if you want a graphics card that performs very well for the price point and wont break the bank this card is for you! Will play most current games very well. Fortnite and other common games play very well. Box arrived in good conditon.

Pros:
Runs silent during gaming
Performs very well
Overclocking is easy
Supports multiple monitors (3 HDMI 1080p)

Cons:
None so far. Will update if anything changes.

NOTE**
DO NOT INSTALL THE DRIVERS FROM THE INCLUDED DISC. MOST MAY KNOW THIS BUT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DONT, MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THE DRIVERS FROM GIGABYTES PAGE FOR THIS EXACT CARD. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN STABILITY ISSUES INCLUDING BSOD & RANDOM CRASHES/GLITCHES. (Fellow friend made the mistake of installing via the CD and had many issues with crashing and BSOD. I later uninstalled all gpu drivers and installed the updated ones via gigabytes website.)

Great low profile card that performs very well!

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2019

Style: Boost Clock 1442 MHz Low ProfileSize: 4GBVerified Purchase

I bought this for my HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF that I bought a couple of years ago because I wanted a "gaming" machine and the Intel HD 2500 integrated graphics isn't exactly great. I thought I might have a tough time finding something to upgrade it with because the power supply is only 240W and it's a very "special" one that has a special shape and can't be upgraded... unless I were to move everything into a new case and I'm not that confident in my abilities. Anyway, installing this wasn't that hard to do because it fits very well and the AORUS software used to control it is nice and easy to use. Everything I've thrown at it so far has worked wonderfully. Of course not all of the most recent games will work of course.

The only thing that I didn't like was that I was sent an email after purchase for the "Fortnite Bundle" and while I don't play it, I thought I'd give it a try after redeeming the code they sent me....Well...the code had already been redeemed and Nvidia told me the email that redeemed it and it looked to be a Russian email that had redeemed it weeks before I even purchased this. They told me to contact Amazon for a new code. I did just that and the support was awful. They kept transferring me back and forth over 10 times and basically told me to contact "the developer" which I asked them to clarify and they said to contact Gigabyte. I did THAT and was told to contact Amazon or Nvidia. So that was all pointless. If you're buying this for an upgrade, go for it. If you're buying this and you want the Fortnite promotion, you won't get it which is pretty scummy if you ask me.

Got the card today and working great. Installed in about 5 minutes

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2018

Style: Boost Clock 1518 MHzSize: 2GBVerified Purchase

Got the card today and working great. Installed in about 5 minutes. Probably would of installed quicker but I spent about 2 minutes looking for the pin jacks for the power supply. (someone in the Q&A said that this card (with 2 fans has to be plugged into the power supply). It doesn't. No connections anywhere on card for separate power supply connection on the card , the whole thing is powered just by sliding it into the PCI e slot. When I first installed the card and turned on PC it used a generic windows driver for about 5 minutes until windows update immediately downloaded and installed the driver from Nvida. One thing, the driver that Windows 10 pulled was pretty old and out of date so you will most certainly want to download the software and run it. I just googled the card name, took me right to their website where you can download a program from Nvida called (GeForce Experience) that will auto detect your card, and download the very latest driver, you can also select in the settings to auto update the driver as new versions come out.

Ran some stress tests on it (not very long about 10 minutes or maybe less, but temp of the card never went over 64 degrees C which is very good. Stress test is designed to push the card to the limits and if the card doesn't run super hot your in good shape. Runs at a steady 32-33 degrees in my computer when not gaming and just using internet and basic windows programs.

Overall I think this card is great value for mid range gaming on the newest games, and any of the older favorites should run at top settings. Also this card has sound drivers built in. Which kind of shocked me. My old card didn't and I was using headphones for the longest time. I was kind of shocked when all the sudden my monitor started having sound come out of it. I didn't even know my monitor had speakers built in to be honest.lol

One Solid Card!

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2023

Style: Boost Clock 1455 MHzSize: 4GBVerified Purchase

First things first, this card was far from high end when it was first released, and is now multiple generations behind the latest. This won't play the latest games at high settings, Starfield says it won't even run on it (didn't try... yet :D). This card does excel in many ways though:

- It's cheap (got it for close to $100 5 years ago).
- It's solid. This card has had 0 issues during the last 5 years. I have encoded 1000's of DVDs and BluRays (for my Plex server) and often transcoded those same shows when we watched them. I've put 100's of hours on this playing games. No hiccups. Never had to reencode a single movie, never had monitors disconnect due to the card, been able to run any game I've tried (including a couple that it shouldn't have run) on at least medium settings.

Would I pay the $400+ this listing is currently asking for this card? No. Not even when it was new. Am I thinking about buying another now I've set up a server seperate from my gaming machine? Yes, if I can find it for a low enough price. This card would run what I need on my server for years, and I absolutely trust it.

Decent graphics card that fits a HP 570 Series Pavilion PC!

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2018

Style: Boost Clock 1442 MHz Low ProfileSize: 4GBVerified Purchase

*This review is for the Geforce GTX 1050 Ti OC Low Profile 4GB GDDR5 128 Bit PCI-E Graphic Card (GV-N105TOC-4GL)*
I bought a small form factor HP 570-p064 (for $400) to be used for general, non-gaming use, but soon after I decided to upgrade the power supply and get the best graphics card that could fit in its cramped case. After hours of research, I found that the only card that would reasonably fit would be the Gigabyte GT 1030 -- a very flat, 2 GB GDDR5 card -- and I ordered it from Amazon for about $95.

So, I installed an EVGA uATX power supply and the card...But after less than a week of playing some old Steam games and demos, I was disappointed by how much it did not improve upon the integrated Intel HD 630 graphics. I believe I needed a 4 GB video card, although they were twice the size; it would be a miracle to find something that would work in a HP 570.

I just couldn't believe the GT 1030 could be the only option, but the PCI-E port is flanked by a power supply and a slimline DVD player. In addition, the motherboard's two yellow audio inputs are partially blocking the top graphics card slot -- a weird design choice. So, the prospect of installing any dual-slot, 4GB card would be limited by card length, height, and "shape": Basically, any "blocky" cards (like some of the EVGA models) longer than 6.8 inches would not work.

I thought that maybe this Gigabyte model would work, trying to measure and imagine it in my case. Well, I was lucky enough to find an obscure review from another HP 570 series purchaser (on another seller's website) who wrote that the Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050 Ti Low Profile graphics card "barley fit." It seemed that the length and height would be OK, and the sides might just perfectly angle near the front of the card to allow just enough space to clear the motherboard's audio inputs.

Well, I chatted with Amazon about the situation and they took care of anything -- FIVE STARS for customer service! They sent me a new 1050 Ti graphics card via free one-day shipping, and they said there would be no penalty if the card didn't fit. And they helped me return the GT 1030. Thank you Amazon once again!

I was very happy when my new GPU installed perfectly, and I got started sampling some games.

My HP 570-p064 only has an Intel i3 dual-core 7100 3.9GHZ processor with 8 GB DDR4 RAM. Windows 10 64-bit is on an SSD, and my games are installed on a 1 TB hard drive. I am limited to a 23" 1080p 60 Hz monitor. Here are some of my in-game FPS results with the Gigabyte 1050 Ti OC -- with some slight overclocking -- using 1080p resolution:

- Grand Theft Auto V with high settings and some effects: 50-60 FPS average
- Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition with high settings: 60 FPS
- Final Fantasy: A Realm Reborn with high settings and high effects: 60 FPS
- Max Payne 3 with very high settings and high effects: 60 FPS
- Doom (2016) with max resolution and medium effects: 60 FPS
- Spec Ops: The Line (demo) with the highest settings: a solid 60 FPS
- Skyrim with ultra settings running high definition textures: 60 FPS

I hope this review helps anyone with an HP 570 series computer make a sizable graphics card upgrade. Although it's more of a casual gaming card, I believe it can play games on par -- or better in many cases -- than a regular PS4. Your success will largely depend on your processor, too, and I have an average Intel unit.

Please note you'll need a new power supply as this card draws 70 watts, and the stock 180-watt power supply will not work safely, if at all. I recommend the EVGA 500 watt White model. And if someone finds an even better GPU that fits an HP 570, please let the world know.
