⚠️ Warning! Localmaxxers buying used GPUs, this is getting ridiculous.
VideoCardz reports that Russian GPU repair specialist VIK-on found incredibly convincing fake RTX 4090 boards.
Now he has found similar replicas being sold in China for just $52. 👀
And apparently they can look👻frighteningly real
🎮 Fake AD102 package
💾 Fake Micron-style memory markings
🔧 Proper-looking BGA soldering
👀 Convincing enough to fool buyers
A scammer can buy one for about $52 then list it somewhere else as 💀 “Dead RTX 4090” | 🔧 “Easy repair project” | 💰 $350
One buyer got caught exactly this way according to the article.
Cheap used GPU deal, just be careful.
