GTX 560 (Help!!!!)

[Zeus MK]

Salutations,


i recently came to know about this Graphic Card, it's badged as "GTX 560" But i suspect it's not what it claims to be, i am to find out what it really is...

This is what it looks like,




and the GPU Z is the strangest by far i have came across


the real reference 560 goes like this


...............
Please look at the GPU Z very carefully as it has amused me,
Its a GTX560 with 64Unified Shaders!, 512MB, DDR3!
and G110.. what is that?

-Overall quality is also flimsy

-It says MSI on the cooler and GPUZ, the vendor claims that they ordered special 512MB versions of GTX560 and MSI made it specially for them
the Cooler and overall looks are identical to 9600GT card of MSI, the vendor said it is re-furbished, may be possible that the chip is low end 560 and the cooler and heat sink is 9600GT's. or may be possible that it's only 9600GT

-also note that it does not requie external 6pin PSU connection

-the performance on a core2duo was only 9FPS on 1024x768 on furmark!
..................
Experts please assist what is it because il buy 10 pieces if it's real 560 but not even a single if it's not.

Some sort of fake/copy. Take a cooler off and take a picture of the GPU/PCB.

I'm gonna say. Those are true 9600GT cards. If you are after one of those then buy them. Else it is a scam. They have nothing to do with the GTX560 or any other GTX. Only the 9600 had 64SP from what i remember no GF110 had that few not even the GF108 if remember correctly. If you have one in your hands just try and look for DIrectx SUpport in a DX11 game. If it doesn't support dx11 is is definitely and old chip with a modded bios.

Just as i suspected.
It looks like it's some sort of Cheap Chinese copy., used the name of MSI
The 9600GT Rebaged as GTX560 and a modded bios.

Yea Cheapo quality too.

So this is an Example for all of us.

a contribution in Knowledge for all of us that scams like these are also available on the market.
so Be aware !

this is also an alarm to MSI, lookout some one is using your name!

Thank GOD i didn't bought a single piece

Thank you all for your contributions

I remember MSI 9600GT and 9600GSO card with similar cooler shroud like those picture.
MSI call it "seaweed blade" or something like that.
