Some questions about the 1050 TI.

[TomasPistonCraft]

I heard about the 1050TI being released, and decided that's the card I need, but I have a few problems.

My case is a low profile case - AreoCool QS-102 I heard the gpu is low profile but in the pictures I still thing my case may be too small, now most people would just say get another case, but that would mean a new PSU also, as my current PSU is a low profile one, built for this case.

My PSU is a 400 watt low profile power supply. There is no 6 pin connector like most power supplies and having a quick look online, I found most of the 1050TI's needed a 6 pin connector.

I read an article online - in fact it was on this site - about the 1050ti and it stated some of the board parteners will be making 1050ti's w/o PCI power. that must mean that the wattage needed to power the cards with PCI power (this is getting confusing) cant need much over 75watts - 75 Watts is the maximum a PCI card can take straight from a pci slot.

Does this mean I can use a MOLEX to PCI 6 Pin or a SATA power to PCI 6 Pin (or another variation) ?????


Thanks for the help, much appreciated

even cards with 6 pin power connector build in the power consumption will not going to get much higher than 75w. take MSI 1050Ti Gaming X for example. despite the card being equipped with 6 pin the power consumption still around 75w:

board partner put that 6 pin power connector for a few reason: for better overclocking stability or they can draw most of the power from the power connector to minimize the burden on motherboard. in the end that 6 pin is just another design decision board partner can take. don't think too much about it. if your PSU does not have 6 pin power connector you can try looking one without power connector. but if you end up getting one with 6 pin just use molex. problem solved.

but the issue with you right now most likely you're going to need low profile 1050ti. i haven't seen one yet but i believe they will be available later.

If a PSU doesn't have a single six-pin using adapters is probably not a good idea...

yes it will depends on how good the PSU quality as well.

Yeah considering even some OEM PSUs have 6-pins I wouldn't assume its safe to use at all with any graphics card.
