well from the looks of it yes it is. and DDR3 is just a typo(try scrolling down there is a screen shot of GPU-Z it says GDDR3). the reason it's low because they're the manufacturer of t he card in question. (it comes direct from the factory in china and it looks like the vendor was supposed to be asus) and you might think it's cheap but actually will have to pay for tax when it gets to your country. for how much that i don't know try searching google on how much percentage your tax is gonna be.


btw the same card is also sold here http://www.moosoinc.com/NVIDIA-GEFORCE-GTX770-2G-DDR3-PCI-E-Video-Card_p_130.html although the price seems to be 75$

oh 1 more thing it seems that this card is an OEM one.

@Eduello Acutally your thinking of Alibaba.com that site has a history of scam's but aliexpres.com haven't got any problems in any dealings with them.

just one advise though don't use your credit card instead try using paypal or something similar.

Its still fake as hell. Look at the specs.
Definitely not a GTX770. Maybe a 9800 or something with a hacked BIOS

All of those cards have suspicious pricing, false specs and non-related pictures (a GTX 770 does not look like that). They can't all be typos, they're fake.

Sorry but I don't agree with you.
Few points:
1. No vendor
2. 256Bit DDR3 on the pack and 384bit DDR3 on the site
3. GTX770s don't come in DDR3 they only come in GDDR5 variants.
4. A legit GTX770 is easily $250.
5. Card is too short. A 770 would atleast be 10 inches in size. See here: http://www.flipkart.com/msi-nvidia-n770-tf-2gd5-oc-2-gb-gddr5-graphics-card/p/itmdmhfzhtuk8cff?pid=GRCDMHFZHTUK8CFF&otracker=from-search&srno=t_1&query=770&ref=fc7bf93c-4bd9-4027-b27b-0045c80c4921
260 cm in length.
6. Chinese seller(probably selling fake cards - got to see a deal for a GTX770 for $25 some months back).

My advice: Stay away.

Don't know what made you think it's legit, but it's not.

Here's the GPU-Z screenshot of that "GTX 770" compared to a GPU-Z screenshot from an actual GTX 770. The real one is on the right.

Some of the differences are downright comical. Just enough was faked in the screenshot to score some cheap bucks.

ok i ask a friend who do buissness mostly with aliexpress, this is what he forwarded me:

"Jim: so what do you think is it legit? i mean a real GTX770?

Cheng Liu: 2 things really. first the card it a fake. they just modified an old card to make them look like a gtx770. they can do this since they already have all the equipment.

Jim: and 2nd?

Cheng Liu: it could be a reject card. one of those that didn't meet up to the specs of the vendor.

Jim: ok, thanks cheng, oh and about our order. we received it give give me a couple of hours i'm gonna post a feedback.

<9/17/204 10:13am>"


oh btw i changed my opinion bout it..maybe it is a "legit" but rejected card. nevertheless after i read that and how they can modify an old card to looks like a completely new one. fake.
