Shady GPU on Ebay

[Rune]

So I was looking for some cheapo cards on Ebay and came across a supposed 780ti. It's at $25 right now, and everything looked okay until I saw the back of the pcb.

 

 

The only reference I could find to an "EVGA108" was the GT 740, of which this is obviously not, and my 780ti never had that top sticker on it (not to mention the model number is wrong). This looks shady as hell, but for $25 I might be willing to do it. Supposedly the seller is in new york. Can anyone confirm either way?

Try it if it is not what the sealer described it as Ebay has your back.

If you look at the back of this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487002

 

it has different stickers.

not sure what to say about it

I say do it.  If you get a 780ti that works, yay! If you get a 740, you can either return it or suck it up and use it for something else.

EDIT: That PCB matches.  I say go for it.

the 740 doesn't need a 8pin+6pin extra power

My 980TI has a sticker in the exact same spot at the top..

 

 

They're EVGA reference coolers.

 

 

But, it may be different for 780tis.

All of these things are what have me very confused. The pcb looks identical, but the stickers are wrong and a few of the stamps are in the wrong place. Something is definitely off, but I don't know if it is worth the risk of blowing up a computer for

The made in china one? Does the model number match correctly for you?

Yup, they're different numbers to mine though.

I found two more with the "EVGA108" and sticker at the top, although they are slightly different model numbers.

Looks sketchy if serial doesn't match. Idk,  tread carefully. EBay got your back if it doesn't match though. If you do proceed with this listed item, make sure it's on same country you're in. You don't wanna pay shipping cost if you're returning it for a refund.

Hm....yeah..I think I will let this one go. The Newegg picture of the same model as this guy is claiming definitely looked different, so something is not quite right. the CE stamp is in a totally different place as well.
