GTX 1050 TI (EVGA or ZOTAC)

[alexulmiste]

Hello, which one EVGA or ZOTAC will be best for my pc?

Heres the stats: https://imgur.com/TBnDw5t

whichever is cheapest and has dual fans. get the cheapest dual fan card. performance will be near identical. I have owned both brands and both brands are good. I prefer a 2 fan cooler, if a fan should fail the card can limp along until the replacement cooler/card arrives. 2 fans can spin slower and move more air than a single, equates to a quieter card but the 1050ti is a cool card anyway.

gotcha.
how small?
which case?

only 1.14 inches longer than a stock 1050ti at 5.71 inches. if the case has the inch+ I suggest it and as I said the 1050ti is a cool running card so its a matter of preference. either will do and do well.

I have the i5 x2 mini tower case.

11 inches (280mm) is the number to stay under. none of the 1050ti cards are that long that I know of. you can get literally any 1050ti and it will fit in that case. you can get a dual fan with no issues.

Thanks, But one more thing. Can you check if my system can run this videocard and will it work with windows 10? Im planning to buy that card and also upgrading to win 10.
