Hello everyone and Welcome back to a new Budget Builds Video where today we're taking a deep dive into a strange set of graphics cards that have managed to find their way over onto eBay UK, the set of cards being sold are all Terascale, and are (or by the end of this case were) being sold with the same set of sketchy benchmarks.
So join me today as we find out what performance they're claiming from these cards, how these scams work, and more importantly as we confront the scammers with our findings.
Apparently its easier to make up benchmarks and sell these cards than just sell them by themselves...Truely a strange situation we're dealing with today.

I bought gta 4 when it first came out, ran horribly on my at the time, core 2 duo + 512mb 4850 (I think, can't recall 100% there), I stopped playing it right around where you get the first girl friend. I then decided to give it another go a couple of months ago on my now 7700 + 6gb 1060, ran acceptably. Had to wait over 10 years to finally play this thing.

@mruczyslaw50 4 года назад

You have to use commandline to even make it run normally on today's hardware, on more than 2GB VRAM GPU it glitches out graphics options so you can't change anything because it thinks your video memory is always overloaded. I mean, at least I had this issue in both tested GPUs - Radeon RX 480 4GB and Geforce GTX 1080 8GB

@yotoprules9361 4 года назад

@@mruczyslaw50 I have the some problem, I think it's also a problem since Windows 8 and higher. But once you get it working its not too bad, except its probably the least consistent performance I've seen in any game ever and it barely touches my gtx 1080.i could easily get 200fos maxed out if it took advantage of it

The same thing happened to me with some car parts. I ordered a set of tail lights, only to find out that they were likely QC failed lights or some knockoff 3rd shift lights. Sent them back and was promptly blocked. I go to order from another seller, only to find that I have been blocked from them as well. There are lots of sellers out there with many accounts, artificially inflating the presence of their products. This is either not allowed by eBay or somewhat of a grey area, but eBay doesn't care as these sellers pay their seller fees and listing fees.

As someone who owns a HD4870 and played Borderlands 2 and Crysis on it, I pretty much agree, those titles pretty much perform as expected. And I'd love to get a HD 4770 and 4830 and compare how they do nowadays. (The 4830 being a replacement for the 4770 to increase yield of RV770 chips and because of manufacturing cost. Same with the 4730 and 4670) Oh a 2nd 4870 to test some Crossfire fun.

But surely they have very tech savvy people working there who can proof read over these ads, or an algorithm. Like they say, prevention is better than cure 😜

@TheSpotify95 Год назад

12:52 Did you just mention the HD3450? That card can get 30fps in both CS GO and GTA 5, but you have to use 240p resolution in both. The 3450 absolutely won't hit anywhere near those benchmarks, if the seller is using the same benchmarks as what he posted for the 4890.

So I'm just curious as to what exactly you said to Ebay to try and get your money back for something like graphics card specs that don't match up? Like how exactly do you prove that to Ebay in a way that allows them to take you seriously? Am just curious because I have had to open cases before thru Ebay, but never for something like this. I imagine it might be kind of hard to get them to take you seriously with something like this. How do you do it? What exactly do you tell them to convince you to side with you in your Ebay case?

Sold my original Ryzen 1800X on eBay a few weeks ago. The first bidder gave my an offer 50% less than the reserve, with some sob story about him being a starving student, and he had a "Suite" in his mailing address. I've seen more than one drop-ship scam, so I asked him where he lived. He confirmed it was Azerbaijan. I informed him it was against eBay policy to post a drop-ship address, then blocked him from any future bids. Sellers are at a serious disadvantage, and there are lots of bullshit artists slithering around.

@fwingebritson 4 года назад

good video, however, the second and about seventeenth pins on the card are discolored which indicates either carbon deposits or other issues that could affect the performance of the card. Also, i would say "buyer beware," seriously, if a buyer wants to get a cheap card for modern games, they should know better to make sure they get something that supports at least directx11 and not some card that supports directx 11 (10), and there are a lot of cards out there that do that which makes the manufacturers look as much a scammer as the scammers on ebay.
