MSI GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Gaming X Review

Noise output of the graphics card is measured using the fan speed percentage associated with each of the temperature recordings displayed on the previous page.

In order to focus solely on the noise output by the graphics card in question, the CPU is cooled passively, all case and PSU fans are disabled, and the Corsair 330R's noise-damping side panel is removed. The sound level meter is positioned around 30 cm from the outwards-facing edge of the graphics card (as one looks at it through a side panel).

The background noise level sits around 36.9 dBA.

Low noise operation is another positive trait of the Twin Frozr VI cooler. The fan stationary mode works up to 60°C, meaning that you can conduct mundane tasks such as web browsing and even light gaming without any graphics card noise.

Even under heavy load, one really has to search for the noise being output by the cooler. I would be more than happy to sit next to this graphics card all day, even under its highest fan speed percentage that we observed when running Furmark.

Coil whine was not an issue for my sample.

  3. 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.

  4. 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)
