GPU-Z Can Now Detect Fake NVIDIA Graphics Cards (bleepingcomputer.com)
An anonymous reader shares a report: Sellers have been modifying lower end NVIDIA graphics cards and selling them more powerful cards online. In a recent version of the GPU-Z graphics card information utility, TechPowerUp has added the ability to now detect these fake NVIDIA cards. This new feature allows buyers of cards to detect if the card is actually a relabled NVIDIA G84, G86, G92, G94, G96, GT215, GT216, GT218, GF108, GF106, GF114, GF116, GF119, or GK106 GPU by displaying an exclamation point where the NVIDIA logo would normally appear and also prepends the string "[FAKE]" before the card's name.
You mean that $69 1080TI I bought from aliexpress isn't real?
I browse on +1 so AC's need not respond, I won't see it.
SuperKendall can be annoying, but he's mostly rational (emphasis on mostly). Sometimes he's spot-on, other times he's in low Earth orbit wondering where all the oxygen went.
However, "1110101" guy, or "Binary Bro" as we call him, is a flat out brain-fucked douchebag, and is as dogmatic as a meth-addled fundamentalist preacher from the backwoods of Alabama.
Logic and facts and *proof* are just impediments to Binary Bro's way of 'thinking'. Don't waste a moment of your life engaging with him- it's about as productive as shooting a BB gun at a battleship. He's impervious to reason or truth or ANYTHING that conflicts with his world view.
