It’s been a while since our last report. Sadly, not much has happened in custom design market in the past few weeks. Allow me to give you a brief update to new cards. Hopefully, the next report should include custom RX Vega cards.

AFOX

AFOX is probably the only manufacturer to offer actual GTX 1050 reference cards. Or at least, that’s what the pictures are showing.

ASUS

ASUS released two GTX 1050s called DUAL OC V2.

More importantly, ASUS is the only manufacturer to showcase (and also preview) their custom Vega designs. These cards are marginally faster than reference cards, but also much quieter and cooler.

BIOSTAR

Biostar also has Vega in the offer, but I wouldn’t expect custom variants to be available from Biostar anytime soon.

Probably the most interesting model from GIGABYTE (released last week) is the mini-ITX version of GTX 1080. Yes, 1080, not 1070. This is currently the smallest GP104-400 card on the market.

MSI

MSI has been busy adding new mid-range models, especially Polaris-based RX 560. We also have two Vega cards and GTX 1050. Still no sight of GAMING Vega though.
