GTX 1060 fake?

Go to solution Solved by AugOwnz,

That is a gts 450, there are a lot of fakes on ebay (named gtx 960, 1060 etc.) that are only gts 450s. The shader count is a dead giveaway. It's a known scam.

I stupidly purchased a GTX 1060 for $80 from ebay. After checking it with GPU-Z, it says it's legit. But I still don't trust it. I ran a few benchmarks and games, both did badly compared to my old GPU, HD5870. My system specs:

Phenom II x4 970

8GB DDR3 1333

 

Here are my results for this GPU. What do you think? Did I get flim-flamed?

This post is old already, so just wanna to ask again.
I found a seller from china, they sell gtx 1060 3gb.

They said it's a brand new product of 2020, they didn't state the manufacturer.

They said it's not a fake product like others, should I trust them?
The parcel is nearby now, so should I reject it?
 

To avoid being tracked please use the link in the attachment about the product details.

There's a 3 star review, if it's bad it should be 1... or it's just a fake review also?

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

I think if it have a VGA port it can't be a GTX 10XX serie, because analog display was not supported anymore on this generation.

 

So I could be wrong but in my mind : GTX 1050 or 1060 with VGA output = 99% chances to be a scam.

It's fake! Newer GPU's don't have VGA ports.
