It's ebay. The point of ebay is to scam people.

"Cooler type: Water cooler" on the "770" :lol:

Anyone recognise what is the original graphic card PCB used for the fake GTX 770?

Those look like passive Gt x(possibly 2?)30s with aftermarket coolers screwed on imo.

I love the fact that they have D-Sub ports.

Actually it has an SLI bridge bit.
GTs450 prehaps?

Missing a few shaders I feel.. mmm

I'd never buy from Aliexpress anyway, your highly unlikely to get the product and the fight to get your cash back will be a long haul.

Im pretty sure anyone wiith decent common sense and/or knowledge in regards to electronics would know this is a scam, though been seeing a lot of these lately, is the world getting dumber? and that feedback score... possibly an account that was stolen during the eBay breach thing?

Thanks for the info

These showed up on Newegg as well,needless to say there was a bit of shouting going on at the newegg staff.I read about it on another forum.

They were doing an "Amazon" selling on behalf of someone else.

Is it not just a hacked bios or something....?

Surely drivers would be an issue?

I miss when GPU's looked like this

I modified my gtx 570 bios so that it shows up as a gtx 590 along with increasing the voltage range. It was pretty easy to do. I think that the fake gtx 770 is based on 8xxx series card, so when the NVIDIA stops supporting 8xxx in their latest driviers, that fake gtx 770 will probably make the latest drivers crash

0/10 needs more stupid branding like my limited edition 295x2 I have here
