Can you tell ???

[RoryRB]

From just looking at this pcb can you tell if its a good card or not. 

 

Hint: Its an rx570 4gb

It looks dirty but we can't really tell you if the card is good or bad from one poor quality photo of it's pcb.... in fact with this alone we can't even testify it is an actual RX570.

Well its used and have crossed referenced cereal numbers so its as real as i can tell, just dirty with a bent bit where you attach it to the case (for some reason forgot what it is called)

I'm pretty sure you're missing an aspect of the videocard.. Cooling or something..?

/s

 

As said above, this is a blurry picture of a dusty PCB. I couldn't tell you if this is working or not; you should really have this seller test the card.

Is that a pull from an OEM system or something?

Edit: Oh wait, I see the Devil in the background now.

Yeah that's really not how this works. The thing could look brand new but cause BSOD's left and right or not let the system POST at all.

I wanted to leave it out as its covered in branding and wanted an un-bias opinion

Yeah an ebay fi d, powercolour reddevil rx570 4gb, but with a little unlisted damage (shipping i assume). Would a pair of pliers do the trick cause its impossible by hand

Idk tbh because it depends on what material it is, it could break or it could come out good.

Yeah i don't think it will fit with it like that

 

Edit: Now i see why YT's use an open test bench to try used cards

That depends on if it's a reference PCB or custom from the partner manufacturer.

 

If it's a reference PCB then chances are it's only as good as any other RX570. If it's a custom PCB then it depends on the layout and sourced components. Does it have stronger power delivery? More phases? Filtering? Etc.

Yes. That's a steel plate, and if you're careful about it, it's very safe to bend back into usable shape. Just remove it from the GPU first to reduce risk to the card itself.

As long as it worked... Just remember to not risk it in the future.

Yeah i was already told off, but if it works it works, at the expense of a dented table though.
