So I recently purchased this GPU on eBay, as seen in the pictures. It was a good price in fact, too good to be true. I didn’t want to miss the opportunity so my impulses got the best of me and I went straight ahead and purchased it. Later on I looked at the images in closer detail, realizing that they seem a bit off. My instincts are telling me that this isn’t an Radeon rx 580. Just by the pictures shown, can anyone confirm that this GPU is legit? I also dug into a bit of research (and I mean A LOT of research...) trying to see if any I can find the GPU that was shown in the picture. And I couldn’t find it. There were a lot of GPUs that looked similar, but not the one I purchased. This led me to further speculation that it could be a counterfeit. I’m not very familiar with AMD and their GPUs, and I’m definitely no expert. Anybody who knows a ton about GPUs mind helping me out with this? Thank you!

One easy way to test is benchmarks.  Just run it and see how it compares against how that card is known to perform.  If it matches up, you don't necessarily know for certain that it's what it says, but at that point, does it even matter?   If it doesn't match though you know something is wrong.

 

At least this has a decent looking cooler and the correct outputs.  Too many fakes I see are obviously trash and still have VGA ports lol

It's also a good sign that GPU-Z isn't flagging it.  They did an update a while back that was designed to detect and flag fake cards.  Not sure if that has been defeated yet.

Looking up the Device ID: 1002 67DF and the Subsystem ID: 1043 0521, it looks like an Asus RX580 8GB. The seller might just have changed the cooler.

Thanks for the advice, I feel a lot more confident now that my GPU seems legit.
