So I was browsing amazon when I came across this $80 Amazon GPU that’s from this company called NXDA. Apparently it’s supposed to be similar to the GTX 960. I would love to see Linus do a review of it and see if its actually worth it or if it’s some marketing bs. 

 

The NXDA 960:

Its not a manufacturer. Its a fake name. Some groups in china buy large stocks of retired gts 450/gtx 460/gtx 550ti and the sell them as 1050s or 1060s under the xhvga name to scam people.

All I see is a GTX 550, which is still a scam because there is nothing called a GTX 550, nor does any Fermi card come with 4GB GDDR5.

sounds kinda like the $200 4790k I ordered from ThaiComputerStore on Amazon. Wishful thinking, but I got my money back through amazon so no harm done. 

 

buy and post results?

This is actually a GTX 550 or GTS 450 flashed to GTX 960.

It still has the GTX 550/GTS 450 performance but it will more likely crash in games when the game exceeds more than 1GB VRAM.

In actual this has 1GB GDDR5 or 1GB GDDR3/DDR3.

So the 80$ is not worth it you can get a used GTX 960 for 80$ or less.
