I do not know if any of you ever bought on alibaba but that seems very legit, one costs &800 and a lot of 100 costs $5 for one. It is probably a brand that no one wants over there and thus has to be sold like that.

 

The real problem with this is the length of time it takes to get to you and what condition it will get to you in.

I don't recommend any of them, buying an item that costs under $100 is fine, IMO, when you don't know the real condition of the item other than what is shown on a website but $800 and then it is a hardware part, it isn't worth the risk IMO. Another thing, you don't even know how the cooling performance is with this. The only time i would risk this kind of purchase is if i was walking down the street in China and saw the GPU on sale, i would be able to test it or request it be tested.

 

You have to understand there will be, according to the destination country, import duties, an extraordinary wait time, according to the shipping type and an almost not worth it warranty that may very be half way expired by the time you get it.

 

I bought a $55 dollar 4k camera like the go pro and it is fine but look at the cost, then i had to pay in addition to the cost of the camera, import duties and electronics taxes. Now the condition was brand new when i got it and the packaging didn't have any damage but it took almost two months to get to me. You couldn't track the frigging thing until UPS got it and that was like three weeks.

Wait, wait... look at the specs. It advertises 11GB of video memory, but lets take a look at the specs... 1Gb of video memory. and i'm not sure if a 1080Ti has 1ghz memory clock.

1080Ti's have GDDR5X not DDR5
Memory interface is 352 bit not 256 bit like they advertise it.
