Is this GPU fake

[Reuben Raine]

This is an ebay listing for a GTX 1030. It is priced at £37.91. I think this is too good to be true.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GTX1030-2GB-D5-128BIT-Graphics-Card-DISPLAY-DVI-Video-Gaming-Graphics-Card-HDMI/333267658601?hash=item4d984ce769:g:p2QAAOSwS4ddK-xX

Please help

probably fake but the price is not too good to be true

 

on some of the pictures it has D-SUB video output... Pascal cards dont have D-SUB or any analog output.

Thanks, i am probably going to get a GTX 960 instead, as i have found a trusted buyer and it is in my budget.

 

I love your profile picture GIF by the way.

It's fake.

• No brand/manufacturer details
• No model number
• Generic cooler and shroud design
• GT1030's (most) don't have VGA ports (there are a few special VGA versions that have them, but most Pascal generation cards don't have VGA ports)
• GT1030's don't require additional power (pictured card has a 6pin power connector)
• It claims to have 2 x 90mm fans for "Large wind capacity and strong heat dissipation" despite clearly only have one fan in the pictures
• The "Video Output" image showing DisplayPort and HDMI is clearly fake since the card pictured above clearly has a VGA port
• If you look closely at the fan plugged in to the fan header you can see that the fan doesn't properly fit in the fan header. It's a 2pin fan plugged in to a 3pin socket. This indicates that the fan/cooler isn't original to the card.
• The Nvidia feature picture is from a GTX1660
• Included CD with "Nvidia Drivers" on it (this is because if you download the drivers from the Nvidia website it won't work with the card)
• Product description: "GTX 1030 Ti is built with the Turing architecture, get bigger performance boosts in modern games."... No such thing as a GTX 1030 Ti, and 1000 series cards are Pascal not Turing.
• "Memory: 2GB. Memory Interface Width: 192Bit" (GT 1030 has 64bit memory bus width)
• Another image describes it as the "GTX1030" (no such thing) and "128bit" (see above)

 

 

 

 

They couldn't make it any more obvious if they put "FAKE! THIS CARD IS FAKE!" in the listing title.

yes also they even refereed to it as a 1660 in the image

so yes it is 100% fake

Probably a GTX 460 or something older. Try to find a used GTX 780 or 970, they can be had for around $50

I seriously wonder why ebay does not shut down such shops since they sell fake products and even make straight up false product descriptions. Thats fraud.
