The $530 price should have been a warning
WTF?
!It’s not just the RTX 5090 that’s experiencing high demand.
One trick is to use a die from an RTX 3090 series in the Lovelace flagship.
At first glance, the card looks brand new.
The swap is made possible as the GPUs are pin-compatible and nearly identical in size.
One of the most obvious warnings that there would be something wrong with this card was the price.
As fakes go, this one is very convincing.
There was also a lack of labelling on the memory chips.
However, the fake RTX 4090 in this instance didn’t even work.
We’ve seen plenty of instances of these fake Frankenstein cards in the past.
