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

Haha, well it most certainly isn't a 1050Ti (They all have 4x1gb ram modules as well).

I too am interested to know what it actually is!

Come on OP, put us out of our misery :D
 
He's under NDA. NV don't want it known it's a prototype for their new budget range, stolen from a factory. They're aiming to cut costs by using an old parts bin and just slapping in a new processor and memory.....and it'll still be faster than AMD's top end next gen :P
 
Don't... last night I found out that ati flash and flashed cards aren't too keen on 1803 so this morning am building a pc just so I can flash a card that is causing me problems. Today lads I promise.

In the mean time it's time to get building... all this because ati flash doesn't work on 1803 and all my machines have been updated, mind you at least ill have a build that I can just throw together for any card without messing around :)

So a little update, shows up in windows at 1050ti, install the latest nvidia drivers... nothing, the card is not installed properly. The same as all sketchy things it comes with a burned dvd with some driver files and of course I haven't had a machine with a dvd drive in forever. I had to dig out a really old XP laptop which took about 20 mins to boot then another 20 mins to copy files off of the dvd onto a usb key but now the drivers are installing so lets see what we get. For anybody out there wondering should I buy some sketchy gpu? At this point the answer is probably not. :D

And the results are in gpuz lies to me:

Bus width and bandwidth, the number of shaders and the pixel fillrate would be right for a 550ti but the texture fill rate is way down for one of those even (maybe not picked up properly with the clocks/fudged other info).

Definitely looks to me like a 450 PCB with a 550(ti) core on it (perfectly possible as the 500 series were drop in compatible).

Loving this.

Similar scenario as my " 7960X " purchase in the CPU forum.

Did it run VGA Doom at more than 60 fps ? :D
