Hi,

I saw below deal on ebay and it is hard to believe. Can anyone help me to understand how is it possible for this price?

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GTX1060-6G-HDMI-VGA-DVI-GDDR5-19…

I probably won't buy but it might be helpful for other people and it would be good to have some more depth information on the card and the pricing.

Cheers,

        How many red flags do you want? Seller feedback is 98.4 percent. That is way too low for me.

        They also use Comic Sans font.

        Avoid.

    It's labelled as unbranded. So it's likely a generic card from china. The pictures without a box proves it

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S28FZvymSDc, deducted they were GTS 450s or similar.

    Seriously, what 1060 or other high-end GPU has a VGA port?

    • MSG on 30/12/2018 - 23:25

      Seconded. You can normally tell the fake ones apart by their (relatively ancient) ports.

    Very rarely, it's a card that is not supposed to be sold here. But they are usually priced maybe 20% less than retail. At this price, you would think that it is a $70 card with gtx 1060 firmware or other random stuff. Good news is that if it is not as described, you can make a claim for a refund.

    The scam works the same as those fake micro sd cards

    you think you have a 1060 but you get a fake card that tells you its a 1060 but isnt

    Merged from Unbranded 1060 $100?
