Seems good to me something that is a bit faster than a 3060ti for around 87% of the price. The naming is no worse than what Nvidia and AMD have done.

A quick look on Amazon.com show me that the $389 is a sale price and the normal price is closer to $489 which makes this only 69% which make it even better.

They are also doing it with 3060M GPUs. Actually quite decent, a very low power 6GB 3060, but with more CUDA cores than the desktop version.

Problem is you have to use their drivers that you download from a google drive...

That is actually a great deal for the $$ along with the 6 GB 3060 version I've seen.

The issue is with getting genuine drivers to install. If they can't fix that then no one is really going to want that, and team green will never bless these cards I would guess.

Too bad, because they would sell like hotcakes.

if, and that is a big if, you know what you are buying, it does not sound like too bad of a thing.

similar to 3060ti yet a lot cheaper and stronger is certain specific workloads.

but if someone is tricked into thinking they are buying a cheap (read too good to be true) 3070ti, then it is of course a scam.

i honestly don't have a problem with this so long as it is very clearly made 100% obvious what you are buying.

but coming out of china and the suspect drivers and so on, would keep me very far away from buying one.

I wouldn't say it's anymore "bogus" than nVidia and AMD calling their mobile parts by desktop names and appending an M even though they have nowhere near the performance of those parts, or when AMD and nVidia take older parts and rebadge them with newer series model names so you end up with parts which don't actually support the features that that series does.

As it stands for about $350 with currency conversion from a listing on a Russian website linked to Ali Express, for a card with 3060 like performance, which costs about $350 on Newegg, it's about right. I wouldn't buy it, and I wouldn't advise anyone who doesn't absolutely need a new GPU to buy any GPU at all in this age of insane prices.

There are fake goods on China's Aliexpress ?!

I think the reason why it's cheap is cause these cards were originally ment to be used for mining, but then the crypto crash happened.
Which is why if you look at other cards similarly priced as this one, they seem to all have the same cheap and simple heatsink design since these were originally ment to run on custom firmware and underclocked/undervolted. Have seen these cards before, years ago and some if not most of them used to only have one display output.

If you still want to get one of these cheap cards to try out , I would suggest getting the AMD ones like the RX 6600M which really cheap and unlike this card (nvidia 3000 risc/mllse) that you have to use the custom driver that the seller provides you, the AMD 6000 cards (51RISC or MLLSE) you can just download the officiall drivers from AMD and they work out of the box

I Actually own two of these (RX6600M and RX6600 MLLSE) i just wanted to try them out since ived used ex mining cards before, and so far ived had them for a few months now the haven't experienced any seriouse problems with them yet.

The only problem I had so far are the temps due the crappy heatsinks it comes with (card runs hot at around 75c+ under heavy load using default fan curve, and around 60-65c using custom fan curve) so overclocking is pretty much impossible and undervolting doesn't do much for it, so you need a decent amount of airflow near the gpu for these if you plan to buy them for testing.

seems like it would be a good deal but the drivers are , well sketchy

 

[hannibal]

Why the normal 3070ti mobile drivers would not work?
The world is full of laptops that has the same chip...

Both AMD and Nvidia mobile parts have found their way into desktop cards.

They still tend to perform well per watt, and the price on this is just fine while it provides more than adequate 1080p performance.

But of a mistake calling it a 3070ti, that'll disappoint some folks when they don't get the perf #'s they expected.

But then again, the gpu vendors have had no problems selling mobile 3070/3080 products that don't perform like a desktop, without pointing that out?
