Looks fake, MSI does not make a single fan GPU that's not a blower style.

The only legit 1080 ITX card that I'm aware of is this Gigabyte.

The pick looks like either a 950 or 1050 to me.

That's an msi gtx 1050. The end cap has the DP, hdmi and dvi ports, no vga, so it's not a pre-10 series card.

There's plenty of scams out there that use a custom gbios. So when you run a program like Gpu-Z to read the specifics of the card, it comes back as a gtx 1080, as that's a programable listing. However, if you look at the rest of the stats and compare them, the bandwidth is different, Texture/pixel fillrate will be different etc

example : This is a gtx970 2Gb for sale, look at the GPU-Z report

This is my 970

the only thing the same is the top 4 lines, but ppl are gullible or ignorant and would only see the top 4 lines and believe what it says. Dude is trying to play you with a false bios. Soon as you try to upgrade, you'd need nvidia to discover your gpu automatically, and it'd come back as a gtx1050 driver set.

Its a scam.
