Whats the slimmest gtx 1050 ti

[huzaifajamilin]

Im lookin for gtx 1050 ti but i want it to be as slim as possible cuz i dont want it to block the pcie x1 slot (its right under the pcie x16) . I want to use the pcie x1 slot for my wifi card

The slimmest graphics cards are single-slot graphics cards. INNO3D makes the INNO3D Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 TI (1-SLOT EDITION), which I could only find at the link below.

Another viable option for a single-slot graphics card is the GeForce GT 1030, which is designed to be a low-profile graphics card.

Though, I would recommend getting a normal 1050ti that occupies two slots, and purchasing a USB wifi adapter rather than one that would occupy a PCIe slot. Many USB wifi adapters are just as good as their PCIe counterparts, and can be moved around if you get an extension cable.

What about the zotac mini gtx 1050 ti is it more slim then inno 3d cuz the inmo 3d gtx 1050 ti is not available in my area

The ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mini, though it only occupies one PCI slot cover on the case, is the length of two PCI slot covers within the case.

Here's another link for the Inno3D GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, but from Newegg:

What motherboard are you using that you have to use that slot specifically?
A much better choice, if you absolutely have to use that slot, is a PCIe riser.

But wait is there like a pcie x1 riser or extender so i can put my wifi card

But again, what motherboard?

 

[379786]

There are indeed risers for PCIe x1 slots, though that'd sure be complicating things, as you'd still have to fit your card that is now not mounted to the motherboard through the PCIe slot on the case.

Dont really know man i bought pc that somebody built with and old mother board

 

[huzaifajamilin]

Do u need a pic

 

[Gam3r01]

A picture would help

I just find out the board is probally dh61ww

 

[Gam3r01]

If you want to buy the slim card it would work, but so would a riser.

 

[huzaifajamilin]

So a mini zotac gtx 1050ti and a riser would work

 

[379786]

I don't think the Zotac would work, as I believe its cooling assembly makes it too wide and it'll contest the PCIe x1 slot's space. I'm not sure you'd be able to fit both. It seems like your options are:

1. A normal 1050ti and a USB wifi receiver.
2. The ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mini and a PCIe x1 riser to relocate your PCIe slot somewhere else for the wifi card.
3. The Inno3D GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and a PCIe wifi card.

I would recommend either the first or the second option, as both the graphics cards have better cooling assemblies, and having a wifi card directly under your graphics card may block air flow and trap heat.
