We first measure GPU temperature while the card is sat idling at the Windows 10 desktop for 5 minutes. Gaming GPU temperature is recorded by running Unigine Heaven DX11 benchmark for 5 minutes. As a maximum stress test, Furmark is run for 5 minutes and the cards' GPU temperature levels are recorded.
The same separate Core i5-powered system used for power measurements is also used for temperature readings. The chassis is a Corsair 330R with both side panels closed and 120mm intake and 120mm exhaust fans running at moderate speeds.
Ambient room temperature was held between 19 and 20°C.
Low power draw translates effectively into superb temperature levels. After launching a game, it actually takes a noticeable length of time for the GPU to reach 60°C and the Twin Frozr VI cooler's dual 92mm fans to kick in. Even then, they cool for a short period of time before driving the GPU temperature below 60°C and shutting off. But as the gaming session lengthens, the fans stay on at a constant, low rotational speed.
Staying below 65°C whilst gaming is superb and should not present any cause for longevity concerns. The Twin Frozr VI cooler is well-optimised and does an excellent job at managing the ~75W thermal load from GTX 1050 Ti.
Thanks to its low power consumption, the MSI GTX 1050 Ti Gaming X doesn't get particularly hot on the PCB areas. The hottest section is directly behind the VRM components, but even after 40 minutes of a Unigine Heaven 1080p loop, the area stays below 60°C. A backplate is not required to aid this card's cooling performance.
One for the NV Fanboys, Smart buyers will go for RX470

Not necessarily. It depends on how much you want to spend on a GPU. I just bought one of these today after reading this review, among many others. I picked it up for AU$229 while the cheapest RX470 I can find is AU$279 (HIS brand) or AU$308 for a similar MSI version (MSI Radeon RX470 Gaming X). Yeah “it’s only $50 difference” (or $79 for the MSI) but I didn’t want to spend the extra money on my spare computer (wife will use it mainly). (Side note: My PC has a GTX 1080 Xtreme Gaming Waterforce so I can appreciate more powerful cards, but it’s overkill for my spare).
For the same price point I’d have to get a Sapphire Radeon RX460 Nitro 4GB, and it simply isn’t as good as the MSI GTX 1050 Ti Gaming X card.
At least Nvidia gpus manage to keep a steady high fps without random fps drops in the finished game, and not just in the alpha version like certain other gpus.
I got one of these last saterday as a bday present.I personally have to say price to performance this are most prob the best card here.I opted for the 1060 3gb but then i had to upgrade psu etc.I am not much of a gamer(mostly emulator games as i am old school gamer)I love to push the limit of the card.
The oc capability are mind boggling.Started today.Got it to 150 mhz on the gpu and 200 mhz on the memory.Stock voltage.Pretty sure will get around 350 on the memory on stock(if i am lucky)After reading some reviews it performs pretty well.Problem for me are i am still running an amd FX 4170 k.Will be getting the nxt gen ryzen cpu as not wasting time again on first gen cpu’s.Just personally i am truly impressed.Not a big msi fan but from back in 2004 or something they had some of the best oc cards out there(my old 9600 pro could do around a 25%+ oc back then :D)
