Palit, an Nvidia Graphics Card manufacturer known for cost-effective graphics cards has announced GeForce GTX 1050 Ti KalmX which is a passively cooled graphics card in the Palit KalmX silent graphics cards lineup.
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is a powerful mid-range graphics card in the GeForce 10 series lineup which is based on the Pascal GPU architecture. Generally, passive cooling is not employed for powerful graphics cards because they generate a lot of heat and to keep their temperature in-check you will require a bigger heatsink which makes the card bulky and it will also occupy too much space in your computer case. Also, there are only a few good gaming graphics cards that have a passive cooling solution. The launch of Palit GeForce GTX 1050 Ti KalmX will make it the most powerful passively cooled or silent graphics card as of now. Powerful Passively Cooled Graphics Card is a great choice for powerful HTPC and for users who want to build a relatively silent gaming PC.
