1050TI Low profile VS The 'normal size' variant

[Scott_130]

So I'm buying a 1050ti not fussed about what brand. I've seen these Low profile versions but I'm wondering if they decrease performance to the full size 1050ti?
Thanks

No, they don't. The worst that can happen is a hotter GPU.
If the low-profile GPU can provide decent cooling, there will be no difference.

So there is no performance downgrade? I just wondered as they seem to be more affordable in my area secondhand. Thanks

No performance downgrade. I'm a little surprised that they're cheaper, as it seems that low profile when I've looked in my area tended toward being more expensive.

Performance depends on the manufacturers specs. Full sized cards usually have larger fans, better cooling. Low profile is really built for small form factor builds

I thought about the Low profile variant just because some 1050ti's have a 6 Pin connector and some don't
