Enjoy the most demanding game titles with this PNY GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics card. It has 4GB of memory and a boost speed of up to 1480MHz for the maximum performance intensive games require. The XLR8 dual fan and copper heat sink of this PNY GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics card ensure efficient cooling.
Q: What wattage power supply does this graphics card require?
A: A minimum of 300W or greater is the requirement. I just installed this card on (3/18/17) into my old dell XPS 8100 pc, to replace the factory ATI Radeon HD 5770- 1GB card,. which is seriously on the blitz My factory power supply unit is rated at 350W, and it's doing the job fine so far. I did purchase a 600W PSU along with the card for $49 just in case though, but it seems that I will be able to take it back for a refund. My old motherboard has a PCI Express 2.1 x16 interface connection, which accepts this cards PCI 3.0 interface, even though the pin spacing looks a little different, and It has a six pin power connection. I hope this info helps you.
Q: This card appears to be an Emtek built card. It's going back to the store...
A: While PNY provides cards to Best Buy as Best Buy exclusives, we do not have any relationship with any company named Emtek, nor does Emtek provide the components in any of our GeForce video cards. Regards PNY Brand Champion
A: No, it does not support SLI or Crossfire. SLI is Nvidia's technology to use only Nvidia graphics cards in tandem to get greater performance, while Crossfire is proprietary to AMD graphics card. With Nvidia's 10XX series graphics cards, only the GTX 1070 and higher are able to be run in SLI. The GTX 1060 (both 6gb and 3gb versions), 1050Ti, 1050 and GT 1030 are all missing the required SLI "fingers" to which you would attach the SLI bridge required to run graphics cards in SLI. TL;DR, No.
A: It takes the six pin. If I remember correctly it comes with an adapter to go from the 4 pin to 6 pin.
A: Yes, this will run dual monitors.
A: Yes but can not use both. As both cards use pcie express you can replace the 730. Just remember this uses a plug from power supply as well. I you are unsure can look up install on youtube.
Q: will this fit into the dell xps 8300?
A: Yes, I'm using this in an XPS 8300.
Q: Are the fans idle at low temps?
A: No. The fans spin continuously.
