Joining in on other manufacturer's offerings for low-profile graphics solutions for HTPCs and other small fomr factor PCs, GALAX has recently announced that they too will be offering low-profile variants of the GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti graphics cards. With 2 GB and 4 GB of GDDR5 at 7 Gbps respectively, both over a 128 bit bus, both cards make do without any additional power connectors, making do with exclusive power delivery from the PCIe socket.

The core clocks are set at 1303 MHz and 1366 MHz base clocks for the 1050 and the 1060 Ti respectively, with boost clocks seeing a healthy (but somewhat traditional)n uplift to 1417 Mhz and 1468 Mhz. As to connectors, both cards carry 1x DisplayPort 1.4, 1x DVI-D, and 1x HDMI 2.0b. Considering the cards' characteristics, they probably won't be sold much higher than NVIDIA's reference MSRP for both cards: $139 for the GTX 1050 Ti and $109 for the GTX 1050.

Low profile, yes.
but why dual slot ?

At least if they made the DVI header removable, it would just be an option.......
 
Yeah, they could've just used a wider PCB.
 
I like and applaud that it has voltage measuring points for no purpose at all given the market segment :D
I also wonder what the back-facing header is for? The one near the VRM is for the fans, that much I can figure :)

Might be power connector, dont remember the exact size of floppy power connector but that one looks like one.
 
SOLD! The box art is so "Purge"! I love it. Can't wait for this one to hit the shelves. I was just getting used to the idea to buy Sapphire R7 250....it is a very fine card, but it has been a while on the shelves.

More than likely a USB debug port
