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

[CREATIVE!11]

Well given that the RAM on the card is EOL, and the chips are 1Gb each (Gigabit notice), and there are 6 chips that I can see, that nets you a whopping 768MB of RAM.

LMAO.

RIP OP. I cant wait for results.

Looking forward to seeing the results!

Given it's date stamped 1202, it ain't a GTX 1050 Ti!

GTS 450 / GTX 550 most likely.

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.

It really isn’t a 1050Ti.

Until it's run you won't know. They appear to be using all sorts of odds and sods to put them together.

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.

 

[Minstadave]

The die also looks nothing like a gp107

The die and PCB look like a 450 or 550 as
mentioned.

 

[MeatLoaf]

The only 768Mb cards I can think of are GTX8800 and a gtx 460 so my moneys on the 460

Plus it would need an additional decoder/modulator chip to create SVGA signal. The GPU can't do that natively, at all.

No chance with a 2012 fab date....

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.

 

[AiiR]

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.

 

[Habakkuk]

Oh good - I was hoping someone would do this so I wouldn't have to

 

[cheesyboy]

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

 

[vvalter]

Was looking at these exact cards this morning, quite a few of them on eBay, no way it's a real 1050ti, but still interested in the results!

 

[Jono8]

Shouldn't all 1050ti's have a display port connection? Mine does (and no VGA)...

Yes
