Fake Graphics card?

[xemion_lan]

It's my first time buying a second hand good from Ebay and i want to be reassured that I won't get scammed. How can I tell if a gpu is fake? and how can I test if the gpu will run at expected levels?

the gpu that i am interested in purchasing: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MSI-GeForce-GTX-970-GAMING-4G-4096-MB-Graphics-Card-Boxed-/222172216334?hash=item33ba7efc0e:g:G-cAAOSwzJ5XdZcq

Doesn't seem like a fake card, the truth of it you will find out when you plug it in your computer and check the specs with something like GPU-Z, but most fake cards aren't "branded" with known labels like MSI.

no way anyone can tell you that.. ebay -used = buyer beware that's the kind of thing you won't know until after the fact ? you can know for sure he did not do a bad OC on the card and caused it damage ?

I would if nothing else be 100% sure you can use that e-bay money back guarantee thing if there was a issue and needed recourse .

thing is used is used and sold as is

tough call only you can decide on whats best for you

Seller does have 100% positive feedback...Sounds legit to me.
