I think it still should work. I'm running a GTX 1080 on a motherboard from 2008 (ASUS P6T Deluxe).

Yes, it will work fine.

GPU's are PCIE cards. They are backward compatible. So most modern GPU's will be PCIE 3.0, and they fit and work fine in a PCIE 2.0 slot.

The 1050 does not need any extra power cables, and will power itself from the slot.

Just make sure you have a good enough PSU to run it. A decent 450w PSU is fine for that.

so it doesn't matter what version of BIOS i have on the mbd ?

That can make a difference. It would always be advisable to have an up to date bios though anyway.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from baha.ayadi : "GPU Compatibility with Older Motherboard"

is asrock H61M-HVGS with a BIOS version of 2012 can be compatible with GTX1050 ?

i have my doubts because the mbd is old (2011) and theoretically a pcie 2.0 x16 can handle any new gpu but they told me that you need to update the bios. and the last version is in 2012 ... can a 2017 gpu work in mbd with 2012 bios version ?

and thank you so much !!

"can a 2017 gpu work in mbd with 2012 bios version ? "

My BIOS on my ASUS P6T Deluxe is from 2010 and it runs the 1080 just fine.
