GPU Legit Check

[arCheese]

Hello everyone, I'm new here. I don't know much about PC building, but I managed to build my own PC in 2018 with a crappy 2 GB GPU. Now I want to upgrade my GPU to a much more decent one. I saw online this used 8GB RTX2070 gpu (see attached pic) with a price of 227 USD, but I hesitated to buy it because I searched for the gpu on the Zotac website but couldn't find it there.

Questions: Is this GPU card real, or is it fake? or recommend me any decent 8GB gpu card with a price range of 200–250 USD.

As far as I can tell, that style of cooler was only present on the 16 series/2060 Super, it was not present on the 2070. Plus the spec page describes a 2070, not a 2070 Super like you were looking for. 

 

I wouldn't get it, the price doesn't seem too great anyway (granted, I'm in the US with a pretty competitive used market, so take that for what you will), and it's probably fake.

I'm inclined to agree that it's a fake product. Just doing a Google search reveals a 2070 that's similar, but not quite the same, therefore most likely fake.

Plus reverse image searching that cooler brings you to this:

It's definitely a cooler that Zotac has made, so it's probably not some obscure China PC café only SKU similar to the 1060 5GB or something along those lines, and judging by the orientation of the logos on the fans it's an actual photo of the GPU, it's just probably not a 2070 or a 2070 Super.

Thank you; it helps me a lot.

From this website mainly China, but I was almost tempted to buy it due to the high ratings and reviews. like this one.

Ok, but one question no1 yet asked - why going RTX 2000 series ??? For just $30 more than that used GPU you can get BRAND NEW ASRock Challenger D OC Radeon RX 6650 XT which is exactly the same in performance. I bet if you search your local used market you can find 6700XT for that kind of money.
