GPU identity and audience
The GIGABYTE GV-N1050D5-3GD is a GeForce GTX 1050 graphics card with 3GB of GDDR5 memory on a 96-bit bus. It connects through a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and delivers 768 CUDA cores clocked at up to 1556 MHz in OC mode. DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.5 support make it suitable for entry-level gaming and general multimedia use.
Build integration
The card draws power from the PCI Express slot alone, so no auxiliary power cable is required. Outputs include one HDMI 2.0b, one DisplayPort 1.4 and one dual-link DVI-D, enabling up to three simultaneous displays at a maximum resolution of 7680 x 4320. A single 90 mm fan cooler handles thermal duties in compact chassis.
Suitability and alternatives
This model suits budget-conscious builders who need a small-form-factor card for 1080p gaming or multi-monitor productivity. Users targeting higher frame rates, modern ray-tracing titles or larger VRAM buffers should consider more recent GPU generations instead.

Questions about this item
How long can the 768 CUDA cores sustain their 1556 MHz boost clock before the card hits its thermal limit?
The custom 90 mm cooler is designed to keep the GPU stably running at full load during long gaming sessions without performance compromise.
What noise and temperature levels should I expect from the 90 mm fan when the GTX 1050 runs all day?
The enhanced cooling system keeps the GPU stably running at full load, so you can enjoy long gaming sessions without performance compromise.
My motherboard only has a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot — is that sufficient for this GV-N1050D5-3GD?
Yes, the card uses a PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface and fits a standard slot; its compact size also makes it suitable for small form factor cases.
