SKU CH-AV5W-1Q5GW

Entry-level graphics card with 2 GB GDDR5 memory, PCIe 3.0 interface and DVI-D, HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort outputs

  • Memory TypeGDDR5
  • 2X longer lifespan with dual ball-bearing fan
  • 7008MHz clock speed on GTX 1050 GPU
  • PCI Express 3.0 interface for modern motherboards
  • HDMI 2.0 plus DisplayPort plus DVI-D outputs
  • Auto-Extreme automated production with Super Alloy Power II components

Compact entry GPU

The ASUS Phoenix GeForce GTX 1050 is a dual-slot graphics card with 2 GB of GDDR5 memory. It targets compact builds that need a discrete GPU for 1080p gaming in titles such as Overwatch, Dota 2, CS:GO and League of Legends. The card draws power from the PCI Express 3.0 slot and requires no external connector.

Cooling and acoustics

A dual ball-bearing fan spins to move heat away from the heatsink while lasting twice as long as sleeve-bearing alternatives. Auto-Extreme manufacturing and Super Alloy Power II components reduce power loss and coil noise under load. The fan runs smoothly at idle and ramps up only when the GPU temperature rises during gaming sessions.

Build integration

One DVI-D, one HDMI 2.0 and one DisplayPort output drive up to three monitors without adapters. The short PCB leaves room for cable routing in small chassis and keeps the primary PCIe slot free on most micro-ATX boards. GPU Tweak II software provides clock monitoring and a streaming overlay for quick adjustments.

Questions about this item

How do I install the card into a PCI Express 3.0 slot and what step is often missed?

Align the card with the PCI Express 3.0 slot, press firmly until the retention clip clicks, then connect the display cable to the HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort or DVI-D port; the step often missed is securing the rear bracket screw to the chassis.

What maintenance will the dual ball-bearing fan need later?

The dual ball-bearing fan is rated for a 2X longer lifespan than sleeve-bearing designs and does not suffer from oil drying; periodic dust removal with compressed air is the only maintenance required.

What limit appears first during sustained gaming at the 7008MHz memory clock?

The 2GB GDDR5 frame buffer fills first in modern titles at higher texture settings, causing texture streaming stutter before the GPU core or cooling reaches its limit.
