GPU-Z finally can detect counterfeit video cards which have been a plague for years.

Now with mining cards with 4GB becoming useless as the DAG has grown to big, there may be some abused cards surfacing on fleabay. I will not even pay 10 cents on the dollar for Polaris cards MSRP. Reason the card needs complete refurbishment.

Many miners have resorted to modifying the cards, this means the VBIOS may not be correct when the card is dumped fleabay.

Polaris cards are fine for 1920x1080 gaming. I have an article on my site with more.

The bios would show 1050/to 780, 960, 730 but the die is GF106 or GF116...
