A GTX 650Ti 384bit card does not exist. It probably a 8800 ultra with an modded BIOS.
It's a fake.

 

[13thmonkey]

it may or may not be fake, there may be GDDR3 650's but if you look down at the 'what's included', it claims a 650ti. I'd say fake or at least dodgy. It'll perform as well as any 650 gddr3 card if that's what it is.

don't do it, or do it and get paypal to sort it out, but the bios may have been doctored so it'll be difficult to prove it's not what they say it is.

i have never ever heard of Nvidia using a Wide bus for their low end card Hell they dont even use a wide bus for their high end they just make do with fast memory i would say fake lol also GDDR3 on GPU's SUCK period

Fake. The 650 comes with GDDR5 memory 128 bit wide.
But the biggest giveaway, it's a fake is that it shows (in the specs) it has 64 shader cores, while the 650 comes with 384.
Stay away from it at all costs. If possible report against the product.

 

[13thmonkey]

Good points about the bus width, it's fake or they are incorrectly advertising it

 

[Unolocogringo]

Definitely a fake.
650 and 650ti models have a 128bit memory interface. 650ti boost models have a 192bit memory interface.
The device ID shows it as a Gigabyte OEM model ,but the shaders running at twice the core clock means it is a Kepler, 4 or 5 series card. not a Fermi 6 series card.
And GDDR3 series cards are a lot slower than GDDR5 series cards.
Lots of fake or missleading info in the ad.

As I am sure you can already see from the above posts there is something not right with it and the secs are about impossible. There are various sellers of this card in the UK and US a majority shipped from Honk Kong. I cannot fathom how they all have sold a quantity of them and continue to do so without being reported and closed down for it, especially as its a high risk because all the accounts sell loads of other stuff and are doing well.

 

[13thmonkey]

i've tweeted ebay, with a link, their response was 'use the report button' so i suggest we all do, lets shut em down.

 

[simon12]

I just had a look at reporting it and none of the options seem appropriate any ideas?

 

[13thmonkey]

I've gone for fraudulent, but you are right there is no good option.

If you want cheap try bidding on used Radeon 68xx parts they frequently sell seriously cheap and can outperform many newer budget cards. Make sure your power supply is up to it though.
