So I was looking around, trying to find some cheap parts, and then I found this. A $65 1050 TI. Does anyone know if this is even close to legit? The most worrying part is the fact that there is a VGA OUTPUT ON THE SIDE.

Probably a 750ti based on the I/O

Well ok. It may be a problem that I already bought one, but the return policy has basically no conditions, so...

if you take off the heatsink and clean off the TIM from the die, you will be able to determine what GPU you have.

 

I mistakenly bought one of these like a year ago (couldn't pass up the deal) then did research and found out it was fake. I contacted ebay about my suspicion and they were able to cancel the sale due to false tracking information being sent.

 

(another way to tell for sure that it is fake is that the seller will instantly send the tracking info and say it has shipped as soon as you buy it)

 

Also the Nvidia Geforce 10 series does not support VGA port in any way whatsoever. (not even dvi to VGA)

@TVwazhere @Augamemerald not a 750ti, from the auction description it's a GTS 450 as @Theguywhobea mentioned!

 

eBay auction ;

Quote

Core frequency: 783 MHz

 

GTS 450 (from nVidia webstie) ;

Quote

Graphics Clock (MHz) 783 MHz

 

 

so yeah ... if it was a 750ti then it would've been acceptable, but a GTS 450 is much much slower, the 750ti is more than twice as powerful!

As far as I can tell, it is a 750 TI, which might actually be good enough for what I want to play.

these are commonly GTS 450 or GTX 550ti.

 

I will be surprised if you get a 750 ti. Although, if you do get a 750 ti, this wont be that bad of a deal.

it won't be a 750ti for sure, this scam was happening before and they were selling 9800 and 450 as 750ti. They simply updated their listing to sell 1050ti instead of 750ti xD
