Question 1

Does this card support 1080p?  I'm not finding much documentation on it and none that references it.

Accepted Answer

Yes, easily.

Question 2

Does this card require an extra power connector or does it pull power only from the PCI slot?

Accepted Answer

This card does NOT require an additional power connector from the power supply and uses the 75W max power available through the PCI Express slot.  You will still need to ensure your power supply meets the minimum requirements defined by the manufacturer.

Question 3

will it work in dell optiplex 790 mt ?

Accepted Answer

I Have talked to newegg tech support. He was very helpful in answering all of my questions. Good news for Optiplex SFF users:   MSI 1050Ti should work without any issues in Dell Optiplex 9020 SFF short form factor that has a 255 watt PSU. This card only needs 75 watt from this PCIe 3.9 x16 on the slot. So you do not need to worry about the number of watt in this psu. It is better to use SSD solid state drive to keep it cool, and perhaps better air flow space around the fans. Thx

Question 4

Will this fit in a Dell Optiplex 790 sff?

Accepted Answer

I bought this for my sff optiplex 7010 and it fits, but the main power supply cable that goes to the motherboard is touching the shroud around the fans but the fans work fine so I wouldnt worry about it. Also the fans are close to the power supply so not the best airflow but this is the most powerful card for gaming you can put in a sff optiplex.

Question 5

does it come with a low profile bracket?

Accepted Answer

Yes.  Mine came with the regular bracket as well as a low profile bracket so it can be installed in both style cases.

Question 6

I am looking to upgrade my APU A4 sometime, and I was wondering if this card would work? And for those who have HTPC, silence is golden, how loud is this fan set?

Accepted Answer

At first install, t's not the quietest cooling that I have ever heard, and it is no where near the loudest cooling that I have heard. The good news is that you can install MSI's Afterburner utility to control the fans operation, so you can lower the ramp up vs. the GPU's temp. I ran a 4K video while watching the card's temp in the Afterburner utility and adjusted the fan speed to a comfortable temp.

Question 7

does it come with the low profile adapter?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Mine started life in a low profile HP and is now in a standard height machine. No additional materials were purchased.

Question 8

Excuse me but, does this component come with a half height adapter?

Accepted Answer

Hello Sasdekay,

Thank you for contacting us in regards to your question.

It will indeed come with the half-height adapter for slim or small form factor PCs.

Thank you,

Question 9

Will this work in a PCIe x16? Specs say PCIe 3.0 x16.... If yes will it be slower with the PCIe x16?

Accepted Answer

PCIe "Generation" or "Version" 3 x 16 is backwards compatible to "Generation"/"Version" 1 or 2 x 16 slots on your motherboard.  If your motherboard x 16 slot is Gen 1 or 2, your programs/cpu will not be able to take full advantage of your video card speed.  I'm no expert, but have built quite a few PC's and in my opinion, you will max out the video processing speed of the video card before you actually achieve the needs of having Gen 3 between the MB and the Vid Card.

I hope that make sense.  Since you're looking at this 1/2 height card, am presuming for a small work PC or Home Media PC, in both instances, imho, this is a great card, and the reason I bought it ;-)  I needed as much power to run several hd monitors, in a small case.

If you have a full height slot, you do have a lot more options, but at the time I bought this card, a month or so ago, it was the fastest half height card I could find.

Hope that helps....

Question 10

Does this support audio through the HDMI to the monitor/TV?

Accepted Answer

This card should be able to send audio via HDMI. In order to enable it you have to go to your windows sound menu and under the playback menu you should select "HDMI" and enable it by clicking "set as default"
