Gallant ladies and beautiful gentlemen (or the other way round), can this be a legit 1080?
It certainly isn't standard Zotac Mini or Zotac AMP — the heatsink is very different. The seller claims the card is shorter than average and insists on calling it a mini (though he does say he has no idea which manufacturer it is from), though it doesn't look like an ITX form-factor to me. Cooler has pipes but seems basic. Can't associate the shroud design with any company in the market, but I doubt a fake artist would go to the lengths of having it perforated.
I've asked him for a CPU-Z screenshot, but I'm still waiting. He's shown me some sort of screenshot, but it only shows the card reporting as a 1080, which may be the matter of a fake BIOS, obviously. I don't doubt his intentions — he's been registered on the auction site for like 15 years with all positive opinions. He doesn't seem like the type to get duped without noticing. But he isn't a hardcore gamer, so who knows. He got the card in Germany (we're both in Poland), and I know there have been some Chinese fakes over yonder.
