Entry 2 GB GTX 1050 for basic desktop graphics

This card delivers a GeForce GTX 1050 GPU with 2 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128 bit bus. It connects through a PCI Express 3.0 16X slot and drives displays up to 2560×1600 resolution. The memory runs at 7008MHz.

Good fit for older office PCs

Suits systems that need a simple display adapter for 1080p video or multi monitor desk work. Not suited for modern gaming workloads or applications that require more than 2 GB of video memory. Buyers wanting higher frame rates or newer API support should consider a different tier.

2 GB frame buffer decides fit

The 2 GB GDDR5 frame buffer is the limiting factor for texture heavy titles and newer operating system demands. If your workload stays within that capacity the card works, otherwise a larger memory model is required.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 2GB GTX 1050 or a larger capacity version?

This model provides 2GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128bit bus; if your workload fits within that frame buffer it is the correct choice.

What does the 7008MHz memory clock mean for actual gaming?

The 7008MHz effective frequency feeds the 128bit interface, delivering the bandwidth the GTX 1050 core needs for 1080p titles at medium settings.

Will the PCI Express 3.0 16X slot limit this card?

The card uses a PCI Express 3.0 16X connection, which supplies more than enough throughput for the GTX 1050 so the slot does not cap performance.
