fake unbranded 650 ti?

[minimin2000]

found a really cheap GTX 650 Ti 2gb graphics card on eBay for only £35 brand new from china but it looks really dodgy and some people say that its just a re-branded 8800 and I'm looking to buy this but actually want to know if its legit and some even say that nvidia drivers don't work with it :/ so tell me guys if this is legit

Don't recommend buying technology stuff from china 😛 Go the safer way and buy one of the well known and common brands.

Don't buy it. Its advertised ddr3 but the 650 ti should be using ddr5.

It might be cheap, but it might also not work^^ Buy a GTX 750ti instead 😉

on a budget up to £50 🙁 and the card need to support dx11 and run something like far cry 4 so recommend me a card like that

You wont get much with that budget :/

The gtx 460 uses ddr5 so it would be a downgrade not an upgrade. A true 650Ti would be an upgrade but the card in that link is obviously not a 650ti.

Probably something similar to this: http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardware/2014/08/28/fake-gtx-660/1

There's a whole lot of nothing on the back of that board.

NO, you should save enough for something like the 750ti or a Radeon 265/270

To reiterate, no, it's not.

Seriously think about it! You're a dodgy merchant selling graphics card D disguised as a premium graphics card A at price £x which is an utter bargain for an A card. Now, do you set price £x to be more or less than you could sell card D for?

Whatever that card is, it's not worth £35 or more because if it was they wouldn't need to disguise it as a more expensive card, would they?

It's not just a question of it being a slow card - there's plenty of other components other than the graphics chip. It might not work at all with any software, it might be glitchy as hell, it might run for a bit and then fail, it might draw too much current when a cheap and nasty component fails and fry your motherboard.

See if you can get a second hand R7 260X, it will be able to run it at a decent frame rate on medium settings.

No man, it will be worse than t he gtx 460 if it has ddr 3.

I have purchased stuff from yall-uk before and the quality wasn't great. Granted I was only buying battery packs and extra thumbsticks for Xbox controllers, but one batch of thumbsticks didn't fit and about 25 % of the battery packs couldn't actually fit two AA batteries in them. I could not recommend them for complex electronics if they can't get decently manufactured plastic items.
