Posted January 16, 2019 Hey guys, After watching Linus' latest video, I hopped onto taobao to see if there were any cards available for cheap. Sure enough, I found one. Link here It is supposedly an XFX RX570 or 470 black wolf (黑狼）? It seems like a good price at 350 yuan or USD 52. Is it worth it? It does seem a little worrying though as I have never bought anything from Taobao. Also, I'm not sure about the shipping rates to Singapore, which is where I live. Just to note, I won't use this as my primary card in my PC (I already have a Zotac 1070Ti AMP so there doesn't seem to be a point). If this is worth it then i would seriously consider buying it. Also, I may lend the card to my friend for him to play CS-GO on his laptop. His is the ASUS X556UQ and is currently using a USB wifi adapter so there is a free Mini PCI-Express slot. My intention is to buy a PCIe X16 to Mini PCIe adapter and a power supply. But I have read that the slot is only x1. He currently has a 940m and a 6200u so will there be any performance gains when it is hooked up that way? Thanks.

If I google RX570 Black Wolf or Black Edition the one with the red fans does appear. even if it is a 470 is it still worth it?

It might be real with the wrong pictures, so i'm not sure. I never buy outside of retail. for reference Spoiler xfx 570 black edition (black wolf doesn't exist on rx500) Spoiler xfx 470d blackwolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the TaoBao service I'm buying from does have a 14 day return service. So I guess I'm going to go for it Lastly, any idea on the PCIe X16 to X1 solution?

And the seller has around 355 sales on the P106 that it sells and 345 of them are good, so it should be reputable enough. Lastly, I dont really need the card to last. I will only occasionally use it or lend it to others.
