I have a Alienware x51 r2
the motherboard is a mini itx

I do not know what 1050 ti I have to get.
I remember one of my friends saying the one wouldn't work for me because I didn't have a power connector or something.

I am on amazon now and there are like 4-5 different models

I would prefer 4GB if I have a choice.


Thank you so much

it depends on size
of case
power supply

Its an alienware x51 r2
the case is a small case.. possibly a mini itx case is wht it is called

The PSU is external only 220 watt but I was told the 1050 TI can run off the motherboards power only needs 50 watt


just need to know which one will fit.

Evga 1050ti should work, your case says it fits dual slot cards, and this card is small. It draws power directly from the mobos so there isn't any need for a cable to it. 75w is all it needs to run.

So you mean this model?

not the TI SC or TI SSC

I plan on purchasing one of these in the next 5 hours after I get home from work so I appreciate any and all help.

Yeah that's the one I was looking at. It's small enough I would bet.

Ok thank you I will prob be ordering soon.

I know for sure a 2 fan model won't work
or at least a friend told me that

just wanted to say my
Zotac GEForce GTX 1050 Ti is here

I will be installing it shortly. I never installed a GPU and I am not even sure where the GPU is in my computer, but I will figure it out!

Will let you guys know how it works in a day or two

thanks again for help.

Dont even have to wait a day.
The GPU upgrade is baller.
Its at least 2x better than my last one.
I am running a lot of games as high as they go now with no issues at all.


Hardest part with installing the GPU was when I was plugging my monitor in.. I couldnt get the damn screws to go all the way.. there would be like 1/2 inch of space between the connectors.
I had these little screw adapters (?) attached to it. I had to remove them.

I took me over 15 minutes of fucking with it to figure that out.

Sorry can't edit posts.

Congratulation with the upgrade!
