Pros
Pro Outstandingly cool
The Zotac GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mini is outstandingly cool. The card reaches only 49 degrees C when gaming, which is considerably lower than any other GTX 1050 Ti card's temperature. Similarly to most other GTX 1050 Ti's, you can expect a temperature of only 33 degrees when idling.
Cons
Con Poor performance out of the box
Although there is a lot of room for overclocking, out of the box this card performs slightly worse than most other GTX 1050 Ti cards. It got a 6820 3DMark Score in the Firestrike test, when several cards scored around 7500.
In-game you get 49 FPS when playing Gears of War 4 in 1080p, when several other GTX 1050 Ti cards run at 53-54 FPS. If you overclock the card, you will reach approximately the same performance, it's just a bit of extra work.
Con Not a very attractive design
Compared to other GTX 1050 Ti cards, this single-fan Mini card is not as attractive. Zotac decided to go with the smallest possible size and efficient cooling instead of a stylish design.
