Palit may not be everyone’s first choice for NVIDIA cards, but they sure know how to innovate. Their latest offering takes the GTX 1050Ti, a fine budget card for 1080p gaming, and strips it of its fans. Instead, a large passive ‘KALMX’ cooler is attached. This is a first for the GTX 1050Ti, but not for Palit, who have done the same thing before with the GTX 750Ti.

The usage of a passive cooler makes it a 0dB card – staying absolutely silent (there may still be coil whine) while transfering heat through its copper base and two nickel plated heat pipes to a sizeable stack of nickel plated fins. This version of the GTX 1050Ti lacks external power, so it will not be the most powerful variant, nor will overclocking be a viable option. But what could be possible is a 100% silent build with Streacom’s DB4 – itself a fanless ITX case that uses its own body as a CPU heatsink. Check out the pictures below:
