Unbranded GPU yay or nay

[Spartan3578]

So I build pc's my friends is I have a keen interest and a good knowledge of hardware and software but in the process of upgrading my friends aincent desktop from DDR to ddr3 with parts I already own he asked me to look for a cheep GPU now I instantly thought of a gtx 950 as i have one and it is good so whilst looking for one second hand one I came across this on eBay https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F332608074281 now there seam to be lots selling them I normally tend to stay away from unbranded or brands I don't know but with this being so cheep I an abit tempted but I don't want to east mine and my friends money so thought I would ask here as I love watching the videos and I know I'll get an honest answer

Too shady for me.

Thats looks more like a GTS 450.

 

What GTX 960 has a VGA port on it?

That won't even be real. A 960 for less than £40? c'mon.

 

Or if you do actually receive something it'll be like one of these, in which case you'll have to spend more money on a proper card afterwards.

I have compared it to a standard 960 on nvidia site and their is a fair amount of difference in the MHz but that could be down to cheepness

It is not down to Cheapness...

The card you found is not a GTX 960 if you really checked on the Nvidia webside you could see that there is a Huge difference between this card and a real GTX 960...

 

Don't buy this crap from Ebay do yourself a favor.

It's not just the frequency and VRAM capacity; there's also CUDA cores and I/O to look at.

 

The GTX 960s had DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort. If there's anything other than those 3, it's a dead giveaway that it's a fake.

Also just noticed in the ad, they list "192 stream processors". Stream Processors are strictly AMD, so that's another giveaway.

Not to mention they're using some unreleased and next level memory called "GRRD 5"
