NVIDIA GTX 1050 Roundup Featuring EVGA MSI and Zotac

The second GTX 1050 is from MSI and features a single fan cooler over a silver aluminum heatsink.  MSI logo graphics can be found on the top and front of the heatsink shroud and while larger than the other two cards the shroud doesn’t actually cover the entire board.

Flipping the card around you can see what appears to be a five phase VRM and several components mounted on the backside of the PCB.  It is also interesting to see that the PCB has been drilled for a larger heatsink suggesting they planned on a different cooling solution?

The core clock is 1405Mhz and is using Hynix memory modules.

MSI is smart to include their logo on the I/O plate allowing the gamer across from you to know what video card is throwing down the Pwn.
