Watch out for fake GPUs more than ever, as scammers try to take advantage of higher prices
TweakTown | 21.01.2026 02:58TL;DR: GPU scams seem to be becoming more commonplace - and bolder - such as the case of an RTX 5080 reportedly purchased from Amazon, which turned out to be an RTX 5060 Ti. Another case flagged up was a second-hand GPU in China bought cheaply (to repair) which turned out to be worthless, with its RTX 4080 chip switched for a mobile RTX 3060. With scams of various kinds happening, as components become pricier in the RAM crisis, be cautious with your online purchases.
