Does this HD7670 need any external power?

Good morning, everyone!

I made a post yesterday asking people if a GTX 1050ti I found on Amazon for 80 euros was fake or not because the price was too good to be true, and everybody said it was fake. So I started searching for another cheap graphics card online, and I found this: https://www.amazon.it/Grafica-Display-processore-Componenti-Computer/dp/B08NCK9YJ6/ref=sr_1_50?__mk_it_IT=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&dchild=1&keywords=scheda+video&qid=1614927835&sr=8-50

While I think it looks like a really nice card, before purchasing it I need to know if it requires any external power from the PSU, cuz mine is pretty weak (240 watts) and so I'd like to know in advance if I need to change that too.  Thank you all in advance, I'm new to PC building and to the LTT channel but you really look like a great community!

It's "Currently Unavailable" for me, but also, I'm 90% sure this is a fake card.

What price is it for you?

I agree that this is a fake card.

Maybe look for a used card on ebay such as a 970. You will find better value there.

it's 55 bucks, but I don't think it's fake. And even if it is, they're claiming 4GB of GDDR5 VRAM which doesn't look that bad, and that has to be true cuz it's kind of illegal to lie about the specs, i guess

Uhhhhh no, that's not how that works. I don't know if it's a fake or not, but it looks suspicious to me. I wouldn't buy it. 

Yeah, that's a fake card. If you buy it you'll be throwing your money away.

Just because it's illegal doesn't mean it isn't done.

That is not a real card. The 7670 was basic "display adapter" card for OEM's circa 2012 and they made them with 512MB or 1GB of RAM, certainly never 4GB. You wouldn't want to use a 7670 anyway.

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

Did he use a real HD 7670 or this fake one?
Because this is a FAKE card.

The HD 7670 never had 4GB of VRAM, and in the current market, there are no gaming GPUs for $55.

oh wait, i went to check and the indian dude only did an installing video, not a benchmark. the benchmark was made by another channel and he didn't even show the card, he just directly showed the benchmarks. so i guess y'all are right lol

You can buy an HD 7770 (a real one) for about ~$60 on eBay, and that's a card that can actually deliver a playable experience in a lot of modern and semi-modern games, and will do even better with less demanding esports stuff like League.

AliExpress although IMO that's riskier than eBay. eBay's buyer protections are really good. 

 

The R7 250X is also basically the same card as the 7770 rebranded if you wanted to search for that.
