True. I don't have those cards so I Googled both but as Billy_Mays says look at the box. And what Google results told me is also true. That's not 960 it's 660Ti.

If he is scamming be sure to report it under fraud. Shit like this is why I hate buying second hand sometimes.

Yep and I would warn some person (authorities that this guy is a scammer) so then he could get a warning and told not to do that any more

960 uses the strix cooler. The card shown uses one of the DirectCUII cooler line-up so something is clearly wrong.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

Spying on everyone to fight against terrorism is like shooting a mosquito with a cannon

i hate buying used. reason ^ these kind of scenarios... prefer to buy new, guaranteed warranty coverage and security of a genuine purchase especially with electronics you don't really wanna gimp on such benefits... unless its super old& have uses for it [ie discontinued after many many years]

people think we are stupid which is somewhat funny/sad at the same time, but pretty sure we do extensive research before plunging into deep things...

Want to see IF this guy is trying to sell me a 660ti instead of a 960.

These are the pictures, im pretty dure thats a 660ti not a 960

-snip-

Pretty simple way to find out - get him to send you a picture of the label on the back of the GPU (Which should show Model, SN, etc).

For Sale: Meraki Bundle
