Is this a real GPU or am I getting scammed ?

[Lalit Kumar]

Hey so I'm looking for an old AMD GPU for kvm and found a listing for Sapphire R7 250X. This is the image he posted on the listing. I am confused here. The sticker below Radeon is peeled off and I couldn't find a similar looking card when I googled Sapphire R7 250X 1GB ? It's a 4 hour drive so I just wanted some input here before I go out checking this GPU. Thanks !

Prob a scam, i dont think anything would explain why there would be such a specific cut to the card model while not making a mess to the rest of the sticker so def a deliberate cut, moron cant even scam properly xD

Yeah, definitely an HD 6770. You can probably find a super decent deal for a basic display card online. Have it shipped directly to instead of having to drive for hours to pick it up. Gas cost alone for a drive of that length is more than if you were to just buy a GT 730 brand new and have it shipped to you.

I'm looking into AMD gpus right now. I recently started exploring KVMs and I was successful in making a few Windows VMs with Dual and Single NVIDIA GPUs. I wanted to do a Mac OS one. He replied tho, he said he doesn't know much about GPUs and he'd sell it to me for around 25$. I didn't go through with the deal mainly because the 6770 can only run upto 10.13 which i've already tried on my GTX 1050.

AMD doesn't really make basic display cards, at least not like Nvidia does, you're going to be looking at the RX line if it needs to be a newer card. I'd recommend looking at the recommended specs for what you're trying to accomplish before going out and buying whatever card you can. As for MacOS virtual machines I don't know a whole lot. I do have a buddy who has a "hackintosh" build using pretty old hardware and he was still able to get Big Sur on it. If I remember correctly it's a 4th Gen i5 with a GTX 650 and at least with having MacOS actually installed on the machine it works with the newer versions of MacOS on his old hardware.
