Gaming in 4k on a £30/$35 Scam GPU.

[@BudgetBuildsOfficial]

Just a heads up that 4k is processing as uploading in 4k 60Fps can take its time, and I have infact received a £20 Refund for what was a £30 card, so these things will cost you around £10....Which isn't half bad.

[@BGlevelextreme]

Found this on my local ebay www.ebay.de/itm/fur-Nvidia-Geforce-1GB-GTX750-Ti-DDR5-192Bit-PCI-Express-Videokarten-Lufter/382376514912?_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D49132%26meid%3Dfc3529ef37424a7f850f4745d5853cd1%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D173151983604%26itm%3D382376514912&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851 It seems like it's the same. It says Replacement for GTX 750ti and in the description it says Chipset GPU: GTX 750TI but also something like second development of GTX550ti how are my chances to get a refund?

[@techventure3186]

Can you explain what eBay said to only refund you 20 pound?

[@JordLikesCars]

not bad £10 for a 550ti ;)

[@ConanRider]

Partial refund as he gets to keep the 550ti anyway.

[@flighted2513]

or for a spare in case your main gpu dies so you can still do productivity stuff

[@tiborklein5349]

Here's a video idea: Since this "750Ti" comes with a reflashed BIOS, it probably has driver compatibility issues. It would be interesting to see how it performs against a legit 550Ti.

[@philscomputerlab]

Awww, thanks for the mention :D I'm surprised this thing can do 4K. All my gear is 1080p, so this is something I cannot test, so cheers for looking into that.

[@BudgetBuildsOfficial]

PhilsComputerLab: Cheers for looking into how to flash the BIOS back, I reckon I'll have a go flashing this one soon.

[@philscomputerlab]

Yea they are well worth it. You never know when you need it, BIOS flashing can fail, so this is a good way to flash it even if the card doesn't display anything.

[@SianaGearz]

There's always DSR.

[@itizjuan]

you can turn on dsr in nvidia control panel- dsr 4x on a 1080p display will make your gpu output 4k, then downscale to 1080p

What a catchy name for a card

[@SilverSonic1992]

I actually decided to buy one of these scam cards. The one I bought was claiming to be a MSI GTX 1080 Ti for around $60 USD. I bought it, knowing I could just get my money back with eBay. Anyway, it took a few weeks to get here (as most do), and when it finally arrived, it was actually what was shown in the stock eBay photos. It wasn't brand new at all, It was pretty beat-up and it was simply bubble wrapped. At this point it was probably just a "shell swap" of an older card or something right? Well, I tested it out in my i7-4790 rig just to see. Got drivers, which surprisingly installed, and then went to go check GPU-Z... It was actually a legitimate card! I don't even get it! I probably checked the stats like 80 times in disbelieve. However, the card was in pretty terrible condition honestly. Both of the fans weren't working probably, it was covered in dust the plastic was cracked, and the back panel was just completely gone for some reason. The NVIDIA display driver also frequently crashed upon switching resolution for some odd reason. I guess it goes to show it is possible to get a legitimate card, if you are extremely lucky, just don't expect it to be in good condition. This one was probably used for bitcoin mining or something, and since the fans stopped working, the card could no longer be cooled and overheated, so it was sold as brand new to try to get some profit I guess.

[@adamwan267]

Slap some case fan on the GPU heatsink and it probably could run fine again

[@michaelbruh126]

They can update the BIOS or something like that to add a different name to the GPU, so yeah it's prob not a 1080ti

[@adwaitagnome]

that's on the better side of scams. Atleast you did not get an absolute potato like most scam graphics cards are, it's still a scam though.

[@BudgetBuildsOfficial]

+Devin Hepburn: Any GTX750Ti 1GB DDR5 card will actually be a GTX550Ti.

[@adwaitagnome]

yep

[@Knaeckebrotsaege]

Nope, not all of them. I have a "GTX 750Ti" and a "GTX960" that are both actually a GTS 450. And a "Asus" "GTX770" that I'm not actually sure of what it is, but since it doesn't work with official drivers past the 400-series cutoff (where nvidia removed support from pre-400-series cards from their driver packs), I suspect it might actually be as ancient as a 9800GTX/GTS250, although the remains of what was printed on the Die (printing came off with the thermal chewing gum they used) lead me to a 9800M GT notebook GPU (!?!)

[@adwaitagnome]

I'm just kinda curios, how did you get scammed for graphics cards so many times?

[@Knaeckebrotsaege]

I didn't. Bought them on purpose as curiosities, in some cases from other people who got scammed and tried to re-scam by selling them as "lightly used, don't need it" on ebay again with the same fake model numbers etc., just with the slight advantage of being local (so no month worth of waiting on shipping) and usually a bit cheaper. Oldest fake card I have is a Geforce "GT(S)240" which is actually a pathetic Geforce 7300GS :D

[@estate-tidus1007]

Sega gt 2002 or something I think

[@MaTtRoSiTy]

Its actually quite surprising how many games you can play at 4k with a modest card. I played almost every game I had at 4k when I had a 970, though obviously new AAA titles were out of reach...

[@neilmoulang90]

Terraria is a great game, but all the weapons enemies and bosses get a lot more demanding closer to the end of the game and what I've found with my PC is that in a frame rate that started off in the high fifties in the early game ends up in the low twenties at the low twenties closer to the end.

[@Jeidjeneudejendu]

[@neilmoulang90]

XtraGamingHD core 2 duo e7500 and a gt 710. Terrible, I know but my point is still valid

[@toaster_bloke9999]

It's surprising how (relatively) demanding it is tbh, I remember the integrated on the motherboard for my old FX-6300 was a 15fps slideshow at 800x600 on minimum settings even when it could do age of empires III fine at 1280x1024

[@badtexture1062]

Any decent graphics card will get you by in Terraria. It can be quite demanding, but you should place the blame on your processor. If my Q45 can handle that game, anything can, and throwing an R9 280 in there really didn't help much on my Pentium.

[@DuhFishu]

yup ^. i have a spare computer with an a8 5700 and added a 650ti and maxed out the game with 1080p. can also run fortnite 1080p medium with 60-80fps avg.

[@SungaM_official]

Very good and informative video :) Always cool seeing old hardware being pushed to its absolute limit.

[@MANOFBLADE]

I'm really surprised that my old GTX 550ti can handle some modern games in 1080p with somewhat acceptable fps. Great video man 👍

[@ConstantGains]

How much better would a 560 ti be?

[@TheRealFobican]

Seeing this happen in skyrim not with a built in intel gpu but with a separate gpu is even more of a pain.

What the F***?? People are running GTA 5 in high settings just by wasting $35? And I can't even run it properly in my $1000+ laptop.

[@zerozeroone4424]

Cause a desktop will always out perform a laptop

[@jelleptic]

When did you buy that laptop?

[@jakegarrett8109]

Lol, $1000 should be getting a GTX 1060 mobile. I was recently looking at a super high end laptops (full blown Ryzen 1700 desktop chip, yes, real socket so you can put 1800x or whatever you want) with RX 580m for $1500. At that price you can get 1070 mobile chips with 120 Hz Gsync screens. Obviously the 1070 would be better for gaming, but I was looking at it for mobile workstation use. Decided I could live without it though. Or he's comparing it to old prices, like my i5 2520m with HD3000 potato TM graphics ($1200 in 2012, but I got it for $150 refurbished on Newegg). So I call it a $150 max laptop, and really I bought that a while ago, so its not even worth that (except I've upgraded RAM and SSD, so maybe $200 price).

[@McGreish]

There's a new Ryzen AMD chip that's shipping with Intel Processors that's meant to be around the performance of a 1050/1060 and laptops with those will be coming out starting in spring, so well I can't vouch for previous laptops though my 2014 HP Laptop with NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M can run GTA, not on the best settings of course but playable. Don't know much about fake GPUs but well I don't see why you should have any issues (suggesting your specs are good on your laptop, which for $1000+ which was the price range of mine, it should be if you're bumping down the settings).

[@AFPMPU]

Yup, here in our country a used GTX 550 ti which is plenty here is being sold around that price as well.

The problem with the scam cards, even when you know it's a scam card, when everything identifies a 550Ti 1GB as a 750Ti, the latter is expected to have 2GB of GDDR5... but it really only has 1GB... so some games will try and use 2GB on the "750Ti" and when it goes over the 1GB the card actually has, you can have weird issues and/or crashes.
