Based on NVIDIA's Pascal architecture, the EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 GAMING Graphics Card provides major improvements in performance, memory bandwidth, and power efficiency over its predecessor, the Maxwell architecture.

The front panel of the card features a variety of outputs. There are one DisplayPort 1.4 output, one HDMI 2.0b output, and one DVI-D Dual-Link output. The GTX 1050 is not just about high-resolution gaming: Computationally intensive programs can utilize the GPU's 640 cores to accelerate tasks using CUDA or other APIs.

EVGA's single-fan ACX 2.0 Cooler quietly keeps the card's operating temperature in check. The fan is driven by a low-power motor and features swept blades and double ball bearings to increase efficiency.
