Can I trust this 780?

[ThaGoatSmuggla]

Im wondering if I could trust buying this gtx780, it looks too good to be true and ive never seen a cooler like that on a 780, what are your opinions? Even if its a fake card (never heard of that before) its still very cheap if it can run most games well...

That doesn't look legit at all, the price, pictures, the broken English, nothing looks right.

you can trust the 780, idk if you can trust the seller, pay with pay-pal so if it dosent arrive you can get your money back.

Looking at the product details, this is a sham.
Not a single one of the detailed product specifications fall in line with the actual item from Nvidia.

Their page says 128-bit with 192 Stream processors at 1163mhz.
The GTX 780 is 384bit with 2304 Stream processors at 863Mhz, do not buy this.

Do you think it would even be worth trying at a low price like that? if anything it should still be better than the intergrated graphics on my little brothers PC I would hope :/

Thank you! would the card still be worth the low price? would it run games like payday 2, minecraft and cs go for my little brother? He has an amd apu with 512MB of ddr3 vram :/

you would find a better card on ebay for a simular price

Honestly, I don't even think you would receive anything at all from the seller.

Package Size:
8cm x 8cm x 4cm (3.15in x 3.15in x 1.57in)

I can't think of any video card that small.

The specs are completely off as azathoth pointed out. Also the 780 has 3GB of VRAM, not 4. You should look for something else as that ad is totally wrong.

Something like this would work for your little brother:

Hey, I've been using that site for months now it's a good site but you need to know what are you buying, do not buy that card it's essentially a GT 720 with a modified bios, and yeah it will run CS GO and minecraft better than your integrated card but it's not a stable card and you'll run into crashes etc
With that price you can get a legit card that will perform better than this faked card.
Good luck.

Thanks for all the answers! If anyone knows somewhere to get cheaper parts refurbished etc like EVGAs B stock that would be great!
