@@DawidDoesTechStuff If you want fake graphics cards with a different GPU: Try to find GTX 1050 2gb that looks like this: images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61Q1%2BVkaupL._SX425_.jpg They will almost always be the same GPU (I won't spoil what it is, but it's more than twice as good as the gts 450 and still gets driver updates from nvidia) I reflashed one myself, and other than the temp sensor reporting incorrect temperatures, it works well.

4:43 Certain types of GPUs, usually older/unrecognized ones, actually do that pretty often on modern motherboards, so it doesn't *always* mean fake. I have used a genuine Nvidia 660 Ti as a test card where I work, and it has started doing this on newer X570 and Z490 chipsets. We are actually considering retiring it because it just doesn't always play nice with newer chipsets, most notably a lot of the X570.
Flash all the graphics card to stock and try using differentsliauto to sli them! github.com/EmberVulpix/DifferentSLIAuto EDIT: also fortnite and many other games anti cheat does not let you run games with test mode enabled for disabling signature enforcement (dse) so if you use DriverSigner from unknowncheats then you dont have to use dse and that way you can play fortnite and other games with anti cheat engines. im not sure if driversigner is detected by anti cheat yet, if it is then the game will not run
From what ive seen, you can get them working by installing the drivers included in the install disc. They did something weird with them that allows them to install.
Eh, I think it’s more like people looking to upgrade so the list the gpu as a legit 450 on wish, eBay or Amazon etc. and this Chinese company goes and buys every single one along with other cheap cards. Buy and flip.
I didn’t have any recent head injuries, just a few hundred American football concussions in school, some boxing after that in college...switched to judo. Now I’m just a Cyber Ninja. I still remembered though =) Can’t forget a Dawid vid ;)
I had two GPUs delivered with bent brackets. FedEx made me wait a week and denied my claim. USPS got back to me in 1 day and sent me a $50 check. So go postal service!
IIRC, there are a TON of cyber cafes in China and several years ago, they bought up a massive amount of GTS 450 GPUs to put in the computers so they can also do light gaming. Well, all those GPUs are aging out now and they have a huge bulk of them and nowhere to put them so...they cleaned them up, threw a fake BIOS on them, and sell them to unsuspecting buyers via eBay, Wish, Amazon, etc. I wish I remembered exactly where I saw this. I know it was from a YT video, but I cannot for the life of me remember when or where I saw, or who made it.
They will work if you install the drivers on the driver disk since those are tweaked drivers. It’s actually interesting when that happens because sometimes the drivers tell the game the gpu has more vram than it does which causes the game to break
You should do a video where you literally return the card, but buy a gts 450 and return that. When the scammer asks: "Why isnt this the GTX 970" or whatever card you bought, just tell them that it's the same gpu. Or just do any video about scamming a scammer (if u want to of course) cuz it would be pretty cool to be able to say "I scammed a scammer"
I definitely want to see that SLI video. It's going to be hell for you... Take one for the team. Ps- be sure to benchmark 4 of them against the cards they were actually supposed to be.
Dawid at 2:30 in the video you said "shroud" color when referring to the covering on the graphics card... You forgot to include Shroud's head popping up this time! lol I always find that funny when you do that.
A while back, I looked on Amazon for some 4-port Intel gigabit cards to use in a diy router. I found two that were the same exact knockoff cards. Both listings were made within a couple days of each other, but had pictures that were from a different angle to make them seem different. In both you could see the embossed name of some random Chinese company. And they had the same chips of every fake card. As well, both listed the seller as the "manufacturer". And if you went to the seller's page itself, they mainly sold cheap jewelry. Reporting the listings as fake did nothing at the time... Edit: And both sellers were listed at different addresses, but were actually the fame building somewhere in California if I remember correctly.
I think the dead giveaway is that the fan assembly is larger than the card (you don't see that on actual, legit copies of cards from major manufacturers like EVGA, GIGABYTE, ASUS, etc) generally have cooling fan assemblies that are the same length of the card--even the cheap ones from major brands). My GTX 970 was huge (about 14 inches, had 3 coolin fans and required 2-8 pin power connectors).
To your first question, my guess is that they may have been defective units that someone bought up and "rebuilt" and sell as a GTX 970. All the GTX 970's Iive seen have been larger, and require at least 2-6 pin connectors, although mine was a 2-8pin design with 3 fans. Either way, they were big cards (physically), much bigger than that, so the size in relation to the cooler is a dead giveaway.
Will the BIOS of these cards allow you to re-flash them as GTS 450 and install the right driver? Before you trash them I wondered if you can make them work.
Be careful Dawid, I saw another video where one of these fake GPUs actually short circuited the motherboard because it was set up that way, so there are actually scammers that want to fry their costumers.
I mean, if you need a plug-in placeholder card you can order one and then just ask for a refund. It worked magically on Aliexpress for me. Got like about 50% of items refunded because they were not what the description said. Being a Diamond level buyer on Ali also helped a lot.
Easy way to spot the scam from the listing if you are unsure, especially if they are selling as 1060's etc is that the VGA port has not been on the NVidia cards from a very long time. If it has a VGA port and purports to be a newish card it is very, very likely to be a fake card
I recon they are not linked to one dude, but rather to one factory/warehouse where they build them and then third parties sell them scamming people elsewhere.
GTS 450s were popular in Chinese gaming cafes so there was an absolute abundance of them. What probably happened is some board partner wanted to get rid of a whole ton of backstock and sold bulk dies to a shady company who is now reballing them on to cheap PCBs and reflashing them as higher end GPUs. Pretty basic yet very effective scam
speaking of things, im REALLY considering grabbing a RTX 3070 when its released..... ive been eyeing the 5700 xt red devil for a while now and i need a gpu upgrade. im still using a RX-580 8gb Red Devil. its been a good gpu for me and the fact i got it for $175usd back in mid-2017 and its done its job pretty well since i got it. its just that i recently built a new pc with the Ryzen 5 3600 cpu and i really want to get the most out of the cpu as i really can without overclocking it. so, right now, im sitting here going "5700xt Red Devil vs. RTX 3070"....ugh. fml....
@@bartsiebelink2694 i am leaning towards the 3070 pretty hard. i do like the way the 5700xt red devil looks, but id get more out of the 3070 for performance. plus, there is only a small price difference... i have a feeling the 3070 is gonna be HUGELY popular.
Just because it’s what I’m doing, I’d say maybe go a lil higher then a 3600 if you’re getting a 3070, I have a 3600 with my 2070 super but when I shortly go up to a 3080 I will 100% be getting a 4th gen Ryzen 7 to pair with it just so there’s no bottleneck Kinda worried it’ll hold it back but ofc I could end up being wrong!
@@connorosullivan3500 to be fair, my previous system was a FX-8350 i had OCd to 4.7ghz. it did its job for a while.just going from that to the R5 3600 was a pretty big jump imo. i do have a Asrock x570 Phantom Gaming 4 mobo, so i could upgrade cpu in the future when its time, but i really want to stay with the 3600 for a while. i wanna see if itll last as long as my old 8350 did. that being said, im sure that when its time for an upgrade, cpu pricing will be a little better and i could probably pick up a 3700x for a decent price when that time comes. lol... but yeah, my rx-580 8gb red devil is starting to really show its age these days. its still a decent 1080p card for the money and i'll always like the card, but its about that time for upgrading and between the 5700xt red devil and the 3070, im starting to really lean more towards the 3070 the more i look at it...October needs to hurry up. lol
Basically there is an aliexpress listing where you can customize that particular GPU in a few different color schemes and all these wish and amazon sellers essentially dropship from that one dude
Awesome, love the content. I have what I suspect is a GTS420, wouldn't mind using it as a display adapter to test motherboards. Could you make a video (or link me to a good one) on how to flash the bios to the correct one ?
I'm confused. Your hear of people being prosecuted for fake trainers, fake perfume or fake watches.....yet these fake GPU's are still available on major selling sites? If the sites are aware of them being fake surely they are involved in the scam by allowing them to be sold ?
You do know, in the BIOS you can select to turn off the on board graphics! but if your card fails, ya will need another card to put into it so it can continue functioning. the "scam cards" work grate for that.

I have a gts 450 here ... it was given to me by my sister's friend ... the interesting thing is that it's a legit one from a reputable brand with the sli finger on it. Not even sure if it's still works.
My family has a box of about 20 gts 450s for engineering purposes. Was on an robotics team, and they r nice for using a old CPU. They have SLI, lol. My little brother used them from 2013-2015
Find one of those four PCI Express slot motherboards and just cram it full of GTS 450s. I think you'll be able to force SLI through API in benchmarking software.
at 5:03 why does it say display adaptors with an 'o'? i checked my device manager and its spelt adapters with an 'e'. It even says network adapters with an e just below on yours. perhaps the scammers made a typo when they spoof the card name.
I don't understand why they don't just leave these cards with a gts450 bios. What's the point in trying to pretend that they're what they were sold as when they don't work anyway
You said it takes a lot to get them to work what do you actually have to do to make them work, thank you your channel is really good and I'm such a Nubian novice at this. Thanks

why they don't just sell the card as a gtx 560 460 what ever they really are is beyond me then they will work much better sure they won't work with directx 10 11 or 12 but oh well they will atleast run as what they are and not crash from trying to be something that they are not

Is this a good strategy to get a gt 450 for free? You order a scam card then amazon/ebay refunds you and you're left with a free 450.
Gotta love how nvidia is marketing their GPUs with 8k in mind whilst most people run 1080p AT MOST
meanwhile I'm running a 768p monitor as my main.
Ewww. 1440P for the last 7 years for me.
People most commanly play 1080p, but the most people play most the time is 1440
I feel like most systems CAN run 1440+ but most gamers play 1080 as most competitive games require high frames so lower res
I run a 1x1080 monitor for the widescreen experience ;)

I have a gts 450 here ... it was given to me by my sister's friend ... the interesting thing is that it's a legit one from a reputable brand with the sli finger on it. Not even sure if it's still works.
It seems that GPU markings are sanded off.
I did it to geforce 6200 tc old GPU for lul. Just use sandpaper and do it.
My family has a box of about 20 gts 450s for engineering purposes. Was on an robotics team, and they r nice for using a old CPU. They have SLI, lol. My little brother used them from 2013-2015
dude you got to flash the bios and use sli with them that sounds awesome
so there are people who have commented 3 hours ago when the vid was uploaded 1 min ago?
Patreon suppprters
people from patreon probably
Time difference
It's not Patreon, I don't know how that keeps happening.
Find one of those four PCI Express slot motherboards and just cram it full of GTS 450s. I think you'll be able to force SLI through API in benchmarking software.
at 5:03 why does it say display adaptors with an 'o'? i checked my device manager and its spelt adapters with an 'e'. It even says network adapters with an e just below on yours. perhaps the scammers made a typo when they spoof the card name.
Instead of Ctrl+Alt+Del, try Ctrl+Shift+Esc. This brings up the Task Manager straight away.
I don't understand why they don't just leave these cards with a gts450 bios. What's the point in trying to pretend that they're what they were sold as when they don't work anyway
Lol at aio bit, a lot of tech UA-camrs probably hate GN Steve now.
You know it's a scam card when one of the fans is way offset from the heatsink and PCB itself.
I can imagine these videos 10 years from now and people getting scammed by getting a 3080 instead...
Random head popping up when revealing the white fake graphics card?
i thought the inlet and outlet for the aio is suppose to be above the pump
You said it takes a lot to get them to work what do you actually have to do to make them work, thank you your channel is really good and I'm such a Nubian novice at this. Thanks
