I found a weird version of Asus Titan X and I'm curious if it's legit

[legions91]

Hey guys. I found a semi-black semi-white version of Asus's Titan X (GPU-Z and back of the card information look legit) for sell.

Every other version of Titan X i saw was fully black. Is it modified/limited/fake?

Well, the shroud is a first generation TITAN's. But that is also the same one for the Titan X (maxwell). Can you see what color the heatsink underneath is?

Can you post the GPU-Z image? Chances are either the shroud was replaced (unlikely) or the GPU-Z information is faked (possible)

Uhh, that's just a 'Titan' card. http://www.nvidia.com/gtx-700-graphics-cards/gtx-titan-black/
Not a Titan X. Or Titan XP. Or a Titan Z.

The VBIOS can be edited to show a better card than what it actually is.

You're better off running common benchmarks and comparing the results to the results for various TITAN models to see which one is the closest match.

I think we are overlooking the fact that the OP said they found it for sale. Meaning they don't actually have the card themselves but is looking to buy it but wants to know if it is legit or not.

And unless this seller put the TITAN shroud on a TITAN X (for possibly legit reasons like the TITAN crapped out and the cooler on the TITAN X went bad) I'd say that they are lying and it's just a regular old TITAN.
Or they are dumb and don't know what they have.

Yeah. The GPU-Z screenshot I posted was sent by the guy. I can ask him to take o photo of heatsink, if it's even remotely possible.

Update, apparently it IS a real card, and its just a base model titan.

However, the fan is silver in this model, so something is different.

Looks just like it. Standard Titan looks more silver-ish. I dunno. I'm gonna ask the guy to provide some benchmark scores or something.

EDIT: He sent me a Firestrike Standard test -

What do you guys think?

Thats a tad under the typical TITANX scores Im seeing, but not by much. Its a good bit above the regular titans scores however.
Ask him where he got it that its white? If the firestrike is indeed legit, those scores are about right.
