Isn't it amazing what the Chinese have been able to re-cycle, essentially transplanting the actual GPU die/package, over to a "new" PCB (?), and slapping a new cooler on there, and re-selling it as quasi-new/re-built, for a very reasonable price, given the "extra mfg and labor costs". Which in my mine, represents that most of a GPU's support PCB components are just pennies of cost.

I watched Gamers Nexus go to EVGA and how they transplanted a GPU from a 4090. I would imagine that these maybe the same process or they get stripped down and clean dipped and a new fan assembly put on. Donno but the price is fair for what you get.

Decent price, but without a decent warranty, one may as well just buy a better new card, or buy a used card. Could probably still get a good used 5700XT for under $200, that would likely be the better deal.

Yeah buyer beware. These may have mining BIOS on them which tend to kill PCIe slots. At the very least, use them on a cheap disposable mobo.
