Bought a < £60 1050ti from China. Let's see what it's all about.

Looking forward to seeing the results!

It could well be a 1050ti, these ropey looking cards are made to be sold directly to internet cafe/gaming centres in the far east rather than home users.

The 5Gb 1060 is another example.

As I've already pointed out, the memory on the card is only 768MB, so it's nothing from the last 4-5 generations of card, has to be a 4 or 5 series card. :)
 
The only 768Mb cards I can think of are GTX8800 and a gtx 460 so my moneys on the 460

There are some odd variants of the 550 (ti) sometimes sold as 64x cards that have 768MB and/or the AIB might not have fully populated it.

It looks to me like a 450 board with a slightly newer core (which if it is Fermi would be possible) on there so who knows what it is.
 
It definitely isn't a 1050ti, you just have to look at all the videos on Youtube of people who have done the same thing. They're always a GTS 450 or a 550ti etc.

Surprised the scam is still going to be honest, the bay is flooded with them if you search for a card and sort by cheapest.
 
You can tell what these are by looking at the memory and core clock speed. They usually stick a GPU-Z report on the advert - they seem to be able to trick it with a bios reflash on all the other data, but not those two clock speeds

Last one I checked was a gtx 650, IIRC
