Is this eBay listing legit? Does a RX560 with only one video output exist? Thanks for your help!

Looks like these are specifically advertised as mining videocards.

On the PowerColor site I do see it mentioned having multiple video outputs though.

Keep in mind it's sometimes possible to find RX 470 or 570 cards for 50-70 USD too. Might be worth it over the RX 560.

It's a mining version card.

On SOME cards, you can upload the standard bios (from the card with all connectors) and then it works fine with all games like a regular card.

AMD RX cards are easy to flash and Techpowerup has a database of BIOSes from most manufacturers.

 

But, like people above said, you'll find regular RX 470 and RX 570 starting from around 70-75$ ... they're worth it, perfectly fine for 1080p gaming on a budget.

 

Here's an example, a RX 470 with a problem fan for 70$ : https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sapphire-Radeon-RX-470-4GB-Nitro-B1-Fan-Defect/153844590709

 

Just remove the fan and attach a 92-120mm fan with zip ties to the card and you're fine.

I think it is the budget RX 560d with 896 stream processors, not 1024 stream processors.

I atcually went a head and bought this card "new" for $60. I have this exact card and use a DVI to HDMI cable to get video. I have to say it's not a bad card. I can OC it all day to get that extra little kick. With most enhancements enabled in the settings I average bare minimum 60FPS with modern triple a titles on High/Very High. Depends on the game mostly.

 

The only thing I don't like is the single fan. I have a side mounted 120MM fan to help move air around it. I plan on getting ht NZXT water cooler kit and water cooling this and seeing how far I can push it before I upgrade.
