I Bought a $74 Mystery GPU From Amazon & Got a MASSIVE Surprise

So I’ve been noticing a lot of these Amazon listings for mystery GPUs like this one for $74 stating you have a chance to get something as good as an RTX 3080.

Now obviously that’s way too good to be true and only a fool would buy this, so of course I did.

But to my surprise a brand new 3090 T.. Just kidding

Right away taking a look at the package I can tell you things were not looking good as it was way too small for a 3080, and upon opening it my worst fears were confirmed… it was trash.

After disassembling the card I found out it was an HD 6450 which goes for $9 on eBay… so yeah… I basically lit $65 on fire.

Don’t Buy These

Amazon needs to BAN that crud off their site.

I love how they also put AIO liquid coolers on that image. Just goes to show just how little they actually know about PC parts…

[explosive_memes]

I like how one of the "cards" in the Amazon post is a CPU cooler

[truth]

I have been WAITING for anyone in the tech space of YouTube to talk about this so hats off to you.

I bought a Genesis keyboard and it was defective. I didn't memorize the brand name so later I bought a pair of Genesis speakers for my PC. The sound quality was crap, but this time I did notice and remember the brand. Genesis - never again.

I've noticed a lot of gpu scams pop up on amazon and ebay recently

Anybody notice that the listing straight up had aio coolers on the pictures

"Right away I got a 3090..."😂😂

[enthusiastvoid]

Am I the only one who noticed that 2 of the “GPUs” on the image for the Amazon thing was an AIO lol

[miketheevolutionslayer]

If it's too good to be true then that should be enough proof right

[ramshacks]

Why not sue the guy he's literally advertising the gpus names that you will probably win but since you got scammed you can sue the seller for false advertisement

[techlord]

It's a way for them to get rid of old Tech and people keep falling for it.

I just got a RTX 3080 for my racing simulator what games should I get?

[iamyou]

Plot twist: someone got scammed by this and then used this to get their money back and then the process got repeated over and over

[jdog]

I love how there is a picture of a aio on the picture of the mystery box

[a.pigeon]

My pc: finally a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary

[aegiscaleb]

Damn this is even worse than the random steam key listings

This is the shit they pull from old recycled Pcs .. if you want laughs I have an hd Radeon 5700 (2013) card in my system... these are one of the earlier pcie 2.0 cards when 720p and 1080p hd was first becoming a thing...
