Pro Awesome design
This GTX 1050 Ti card has a distinctive red and black design. It also has red LED lights on the back and a white LED MSI logo on the side. You can customize the lighting style of the LEDs, choosing between flashing(light switches between on and off), breathing(light fades in and out) etc.
Cons
Con Gets a bit hot
The card has a simple cooling system. Along with an aluminium heat sink, it has one large heat pipe, which makes contact with the GPU and gets cooled off by the 2 fans. Somehow this cooling system is not as efficient as the other GTX 1050 Ti's systems. The card does get hotter than the other GTX 1050 Ti cards, reaching 67 degrees Celsius. Luckily it still doesn't have actual heat-related issues.
Con Might not fit your chassis
This is one of the largest GTX 1050 Ti cards. It measures at 23.0 cm x 13.0 cm. It might not fit any chassis, so make sure to check.
