Lower spec GPUs are great for system builds for schools and users on a tight budget.
EVGA announced the market availability of a “vanilla” GTX 1050 3 GB graphics card (the Gaming 03G) and its SuperClocked variant (the SC Gaming 03G). They both carry the same 768 CUDA cores. Clocks for the Gaming 03G are NVIDIA reference (1392 MHz base, up to 1518 MHz boost, 3 GB of 7008 MHz GDDR5 memory across a 96-bit memory bus), and the SuperClocked version brings the core clocks up to 1455MHz and 1569MHz (base and boost, respectively).
The graphics cards come in a short form factor (144.78mm x 111.15mm) – a simple, single-fan cooling solution is more than enough to cool down the GPU, which only needs PCIe power to function correctly. Display outputs are set at 1x dual-link DVI-D, 1x DisplayPort 1.4, and 1x HDMI 2.0. The Gaming 03G version is available for $159.99, while the SuperClocked version comes in at $169.99. Both feature a three-year warranty.
