This is exactly the kind on "news" that could wait for confirmation rather than posting to incite speculation. Is this a "why you can trust Tom's" reviewer that doesn't have a PC to plug a card into? admin, keep up practicing your writing but you don't have to post omniscient musing. Looking for something real, ty .

Temu are dirt merchants, same as Ali Express, and not to be trusted.

A free GPU that you "won" from an ad. Yeah I wouldn't put that in my rig.

Temu is a junk merchant, with a deservedly bad rep.

But the cost of a single medium grade GPU is a cheap price to pay for a bit of good advertising.

Then would you put it in the rest of the rig that you paid for? I'm not defending Temu in any way. Only maybe if speculation is the standard, then I'm good at fiction and maybe... does Tom's have openings?

😂 I'm just saying that this was too soon after all the pre-election "news" for my taste. I'm okay with differing opinions. But I wouldn't put a 4060 straight from Nvidia into my PC. For free, I'm might put it in my SO's. How about this: A sanitation worker found... No wait, that one's been done. Maybe "A guy found a listings for a Corvette for $250 USD and it was perfect" ... I don't want to turn to Entertainment Tonight for my tech news, right?

Why not?

You say that like Walmart and Amazon have reliable products. Often times, Temu and Ali Express have the exact same products that are imported to sell on Amazon or eBay at higher prices.

That said...I only buy cheap stuff from them. Temu's costume jewelry is fantastic.

Don't you have an old spare rig that you can put stuff in, disconnected from Internet?

You could also always flash a generic RTX 4060 bios onto it, or the Palit bios.

meh, AliExpress has been pretty trustworthy in a while, especially for freaky stuff like mobile CPUs glued onto a desktop socket adapter, or mobile GPUs soldered on a desktop GPU board, etc.

Fake graphics card for fake news.
