ASUS Announces Latest Line-Up of Gaming Graphics Cards Powered by NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 GPUs

New ROG Strix GTX 1050 Ti and GTX 1050
announced alongside ASUS Expedition, Dual, and Phoenix series gaming graphics
cards

Taipei, Taiwan (18th
October, 2016) — ASUS today announced the Republic of Gamers
(ROG) Strix GeForce® GTX 1050 Ti and Strix GeForce GTX 1050, all-new gaming
graphics cards powered by the NVIDIA® GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and GeForce GTX 1050 graphics
processing units (GPUs) that deliver ultra-fast performance, advanced cooling
and reliability, and ASUS Aura Sync technology[1] for personalized
styling.

Also
announced were the ASUS Expedition, Dual, and Phoenix series, three all-new graphics
cards series powered by the latest NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and GeForce GTX
1050 GPUs that give gamers a range of options for building the perfect gaming
PC.  Expedition series graphics cards are
built for non-stop gaming action with extra-durable designs. Dual series cards feature
color themes that perfectly match ASUS Z170-A and Z170-PRO motherboards, making
them easy to design and build a great-looking PC. Phoenix series cards feature
compact designs, making them the ideal choice for smaller gaming PCs. ASUS Expedition, Dual, and Phoenix series graphics
cards’ low power consumption when run at stock clock speed keeps them below the
75W power limit provided by PCI Express® (PCIe®) expansion slots. All power to
the graphics cards is delivered by the slot, with no need for an auxiliary
connection to the power supply.

ASUS graphics cards are produced using Auto-Extreme
technology — an industry-first 100 percent-automated production process — and
are built using premium Super Alloy Power II components that enhance
efficiency, reduce power loss, decrease component buzzing under load, and lower
thermal temperatures for unsurpassed quality and reliability. They also include
GPU Tweak II for intuitive performance tweaking. With one click, the Gaming
Booster function maximizes system performance by removing redundant processes
and allocating all available resources automatically. An included 14-day XSplit
Gamecaster premium license lets gamers easily stream or record gameplay via a
convenient, in-game overlay. The overlay also displays GPU clock speed,
temperature, and VRM usage, and has GPU Tweak II controls, so gamers can choose
a gaming profile and boost performance with just one click.

ROG
Strix GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1050 are packed with
exclusive ASUS technologies, including DirectCU II with a patented dual wing-blade
0dB fan designed to deliver maximum airflow for 30 percent-cooler and
three-times (3X) quieter performance, and ASUS FanConnect, which features a
GPU-controlled fan header to connect to a system fan for targeted supplemental
cooling.

ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and ROG Strix
GeForce GTX 1050 feature ASUS Aura Sync, RGB LED synchronization technology that
enables complete gaming system personalization when the graphics card is paired
with an Aura-enabled gaming motherboard.

ASUS Expedition
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and Expedition GeForce
GTX 1050 feature durable designs for enhanced reliability, making them the
perfect choice for heavily used gaming systems. Both graphics cards come with a
dual-ball-bearing fan that eliminates the problem of oil drying found in
sleeve-bearing fans, resulting in 2X-longer lifespans. With reduced friction, they
also run smoother, further improving card lifespan and cooling efficiency.

ASUS
operates the iCafé Lab, a testing environment that simulates the unique and demanding
conditions found in internet cafés. Expedition GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and Expedition
GeForce GTX 1050 each passed 144
hours of dedicated iCafe Lab tests — including a two-hour reboot test and
15-hour 3D Mark test with heavy loading — certifying them for use as a diskless
systems and ensuring they are ready for non-stop gaming performance. ASUS iCafé
Lab engineers also subjected Expedition series
graphics cards to lengthy stability tests with the most popular games to
ensure they deliver the very best gaming experiences.

ASUS Dual GeForce
GTX 1050 Ti and Dual GeForce GTX 1050 graphics cards share perfectly matching
color themes with ASUS Z170-A and Z170-PRO motherboards, making it easy for
users to design and build a great-looking system. Dual series cards are fully
compatible with Windows 10 and are also equipped with DirectX 12 to squeeze
more graphics performance from the CPU and prevent GPU bottlenecks.

Dual GeForce
GTX 1050 Ti and Dual GeForce GTX 1050 provide ‘sweet spot’ graphics performance
that is ideal for eSports gaming. With optimized dual fans, Dual series
graphics cards deliver 2X-greater airflow than reference cards for enhanced
cooling performance and a more pleasant gaming and computing environment.

ASUS Phoenix
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and Phoenix GeForce GTX 1050 feature compact designs that
makes them the perfect fit for smaller gaming PCs. Phoenix series graphics
cards come with a dual-ball-bearing fan that eliminates the problem of oil
drying found in sleeve-bearing fans, resulting in 2X-longer lifespans. With
reduced friction, they also run smoother, further improving card lifespan and
cooling efficiency.
