FAKE GTX 1050Ti?!

[justinwjyee]

Hi! I JUST bought a GTX 1050 Ti of eBay for $92AUD. The seller's name is 'finetech007'. Has anybody here purchased this product yet, or if not, please validate the authenticity!

Can you link to what you purchased, or provide a picture of it?
Fake cards are all over ebay, and the 750Ti/1050Ti is a popular target.

THERE ARE TONS OF FAKE CARDS ON EBAY. Be very careful. The old advice is the best advice, "if it's too good to be true it probably is". I believe Gamers Nexus and Jayz 2 Cents both did You Tube videos on the fake cards on the market and what to look for.

You'll most likely end up with a GTX 450-460 instead of a 1050ti.

Why would you ask people about this AFTER you already bought it? It's on its way, so you'll know soon enough.

Just found a GTX 1050 from that seller has and you have likely been had. Big give away was the fact it had a VGA port and the specs and clocks are wrong for a GTX 1050.

Immediately ask for a refund and report this scam to ebay. You can get your money back and Ebay has actually been working on banning these accounts from selling.

Yea, what bignastyid said easy way to spot fakes is to see if it has a VGA port, 1xxx series card just dont have them.
usualy 1xxx have at least 1 HDMI and 1 DP, some have DVI but never more then 1 dvi port.
