The Guru of 3D published a review on the GALAX/KFA2 GeForce GTX 1050 Ti EXOC EDITION A quote from the article:
In this article we'll review the bright GALAX/KFA2 GeForce GTX 1050 Ti EXOC, the graphics cards come in an all-white design, the two fans and cooling radiator make sure that this budget-minded cards never reach 60 Degrees C under load. We say budget minded as these cards are supposed to be very affordable and positioned in an attractive 139 dollar (US) segment. The reality is more difficult though, the product as tested today costs closer towards €199,- in the EU and $239 in the USA. The 1050 Ti series is Nvidia's answer to the Radeon RX 460 and 560, with the Ti models even flirting with the Radeon RX 570 from AMD. Both the GeForce GTX 1050 and Ti graphics cards are based on Pascal, fabbed with fins (FinFET) on an even smaller node, 14nm. As it turns out, the smaller fabrication process works out really well for Nvidia as they have been able to cram 3.3 Billion transistors into a very tiny 132 mm² chip. The GeForce GTX 1060, 1070 and 1080 have been a high-clocked success story ever since their launch. The new GeForce GTX 1050 and GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should suit gamers on a budget. Please note that there is no Founders Edition of the GTX 1050 (2GB) or 1050 Ti (4GB), you will only see board partner models. Based on a GP107 GPU the top model "Ti" SKUs will get 768 shader processors. The entry-level "regular" 1050 model will get 640 shader processors. By itself, it's nothing to dream about when you read the specs, but 14 nm has been treating Nvidia well, and as such you are going to notice fast clocked models and if you tweak a little, you should be able to reach that 2.0 GHz marker on the GPU Boost frequency.
