a 780 for $90 bucks.. of course its fake!

No chance it's for real. You couldn't buy the shroud for $90 much less the whole thing. I'll be interested to see what you actually receive if anything...

Its sold from mainland china, it certainly isn't going to be an EVGA card, perhaps an EGVA card, and I highly doubt it will work properly, and i am extremely doubtful it will be a GTX 780.

I'd watch whatever you ordered that card with very very carefully, you may notice other strange purchases occurring.

Might be broken instead of fake?

 

[Jaxem]

Again, almost certainly not, because:

1. It would be very difficult to get a supply of broken cards in any reliable fasion

2. Broken 780's are going for $200-$300

If you read the fraud reviews on this website http://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.aliexpress.com you can clearly see that it is a scam. Apparently what they do is when you go through with your order they cancel it. After that they increase the price by 500% of the original price, from there they try to con you and scam you out of giving them more money through paypal gifts, not actually business transactions. http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?t=138767 The website is also said to be linked to some of the Alibaba scams going through some of them same people. http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?p=994068

I would call the credit card company, and cancel or reverse the payment and then cancel the card and reissue a new account and card #.

I'm curious. But how does a broken card still sell for that high? To what level of broken? Just wondering...

I don't mean to be rude, but it is unclear how you ever thought that could be legitimate
The first thing that caught my eye was the title, no capital letters. Any proffesional seller would have their English perfected to sell you the product, that's a nice tip there. As someone has previously mentioned, check out the seller ratings websites. And thirdly, just use common sense. Why/How would someone be able to sell that for that price without making a ridiculous loss? Anyway, there's some tips for the future, for now, try and cancel the payment through your credit card company.

well what can i say AliBaba and the 40,000 Thieves

I think if they actually ship you something that looks like a gtx 780 but is actually a paper weight it would make a really nice but expensive prank gift fora friend. Just an idea
