Question Does this mother board can handle this gpu?

Does motherboard gigabyte ga-m52l-s3 can handle gpu Msi Gtx 1050 Ti Gaming X 4gb fully?

It's likely it will not. The graphics card uses PCI Express version 3.0 which has a maximum bandwidth throughput of 15.75 GB/s. The x16 slot of the motherboard likely uses PCI Express version 1.0 which has a maximum bandwidth throughput of 4.0 GB/s.

And could it even fit in 1.0 and work?

The video card would fit and work but it would be bottlenecked. I don't think any modern GPU would be a good match for this 12 year old motherboard. I would only match it with an inexpensive used graphics card.

A GTX 1050ti is not going to saturate a pcie 16 1.0 bus and get bottlenecked. Even a GTX 1080 only losses 6% on that bus.

However the 1050Ti requires UEFI support in the bios, and given the age of even the newest bios for that board is 2009, uefi support is doubtful and I don't know of any 1050 tis with legacy bios support.
