**The Dual Molex to Six-Pin Converter: A Necessary Evil**

As we begin our experiment, a fun fact emerges: Molex is actually Dr. Evil's connector of choice. Fortunately, this is a dead connector standard because it truly is the worst. Let's fire up the system and see what happens if I start uncontrollably vomiting - that'll be a sign that it irradiated me and fission did indeed happen.

**The First Test: Unsuccessful Output**

There we go! Hmm, maybe the iGPU is still running the show. Let me let me switch over all these components plugged into each other gives off such a strong chemical smell that it smells like it's already been on fire. Try disabling the iGPU so let's see if that has done anything.

**The Second Test: A Different Outcome**

So after trying various configurations, I couldn't actually get this to output a signal on the cheapest PC of R, which is weird because I've used the graphics card with it before and it was fine. And then after I plugged this in, graphics cards don't work in that system anymore - so that's a little bit dodgy.

**Installing Windows: A Signal Appears**

What I'm going to do now is try it in a different test bed which I'm actually installing Windows on now at the moment. As you can see, it's outputting a signal! So if it doesn't output a signal with this, means there's probably something wrong with the graphics card - which would be a first. I've actually never had a scam graphics card not at least output a signal.

**The Power Supply: A Fission Reaction**

And on a final note, don't worry; I'm still using the fission reaction power supply for the testing. Okay, so this is system number two which we've now confirmed worked before we plugged this in. So let's see what happens - fans spinning up! Things are happening! Let's see if we get a video out!

**A Video Out: No Radiation Sickness... Yet**

Yay! We've got a video out! Nothing's caught on fire, exploded, and I haven't been irradiated as far as I can tell. Although granted, radiation sickness does take a while to set in - so I may still start uncontrollably vomiting.

**Fake Graphics Card Behavior: A Standard Feature**

So it does the standard fake graphics card thing of just outputting a signal in the middle of the display for some reason; I don't know why it does that. Let's try and install GTX 1050 Ti drivers and see what NVIDIA's driver suite makes of this card.

**GPU-Z: A Graphics Card Sniffer Dog**

Well, that's not a very good sign! Okay, let's try that again; it probably won't work but let's just have a look. So apparently every time we try and install official graphics card drivers on this system, it just blows screens of death.

**GPU-Z: A Unique Twist**

So let's have a look at what GPU-Z - which is like the fake graphics card sniffer dog has to say about this graphics card. That's actually really interesting! This is the first fake graphics card that somehow scammed its way past the GPU-Z; it doesn't show you anything!

**The Cooler: A Scooby-Doo Villain Reveal**

Look at that! That's one of the things I really like about doing videos about these scam graphics cards because every time you get one and have a look at it, there's some other unique twist on the issue with that. Let's peel off the cooler and see how this definitely isn't a GTS 450!

**The Cooler: A Plot Twist**

Okay, it's this Scooby-Doo villain reveal time! We'll find out that it's actually my uncle - take the cooler off! Oh plot twist of the century! I bet none of you saw that coming. It was just another damn GTS 450!

**A Variant of a Variant: The Mystery Deepens**

Although interestingly with the normal versions of the GTS 450 they actually have the number GF 106, 250 KAA1, whereas this is 110, KAA1! Now I can't find any specific information about that variant online other than a couple of Alibaba posts - so that may just have something to do with the memory configuration.

**The Reason Behind Fake GTS 450s: A Mystery**

I still don't know why all these fake cards are based on the GTS 450. Maybe there's some weird chromatic reason for it like if you were a really bad person in a previous life, you just get reincarnated as a GTS 450 - to be used in a scam graphics card!

**A Warning: Don't Buy Graphics Cards Online (If You're Canadian)**

Uh anyway, stay safe out there! And if you're Canadian, apparently, you shouldn't buy graphics cards online! If you like this video, don't forget to like and subscribe for more content - thanks for watching!

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enit seems like the scam graphics card herpes has finally spread over the walmart if you go onto walmart's website and search graphics cards look at these listings it just looks like searching graphics cards on wish.com look at that one this one's not fake potentially but they're charging over 600 dollars for an hd 7970 but i think the cream of the crop of all of these listings is this one i didn't know that there was a thermometer edition gt7 thinny although i have to point out that this is a little bit of clickbait because this isn't walmart.com this is actually walmart canada if you go on walmart.com's website and search graphics cards it's what you'd expect just a very depressing lineup of graphics cards but there aren't really any scam cards in there in fact this is something that i've kind of noticed it was the same with amazon as well amazon canada just has a bunch of fake graphics card listings on there whereas amazon.com you really had to look for a fake graphics card on that website now i'm not entirely sure what that means but apparently canadians are really susceptible to falling for graphics card scams and on that note obviously as a resident of canada i can't be presented with a list of scam graphics cards and not actually buy one so i bought one to have a look for myself but i decided to get one that i've never actually seen before and that i don't already own one of so i went with this overseas edition gtx 1050ti which seems really legit and with that let's have a look at this gtx 1050 ti and see what it act i i can't even finish that sentence obviously it's going to be a gts 450 but maybe this one sets fire to something this time and here we have the package fresh off of walmart's website now for those of you that have watched any of my wish videos in the past you'll recognize this packaging because well it looks like a fake wish graphics card you know you can tell by the plastic that looks like it's fresh from the yangtze river um it took much faster to ship though it only took about three weeks so with that let's see here on the bottom it says we've got a computer components in here uh so that's exciting let's get into the box the box has a little label on it the only thing that i can make out on it here is that it says gtx 1050 ti i can't wait to see this overseas model gtx 1050 ti because i'm sure it's gonna be very legit okay there we go this is the graphics card with the driver disc that comes along with it this is surprisingly little packaging for it being shipped overseas like usually they use this like pink bubble wrap material to to protect the graphics garden this is just a normal anti-static bag so yeah that's not great for international shipping i mean look at that that's good right oh what a beauty this is actually a card that i've not seen before there there are a couple of very common fake graphics card like cooler designs and pcb designs and this is this is a new one uh i'm gonna assume that it's fake at this point because well i mean again there are there are really easy ways to identify these cards one of which is the rear i o not many modern graphics cards have triassic period video outs and then there's the just memory modules on the back and this is almost definitely a gts 450 it will we'll clarify that later on but i mean you can just tell from this pcb design so what i'm going to do now is i'm going to throw this into a system and we're going to see how it behaves and if they've made any changes to these cards if they've gotten any better at hiding the fact that this is not a real graphics card so i've decided to use the cheapest build evar to test this little walmart graphics card and considering that that means that we're gonna be pairing an almost definitely fake walmart graphics card with a cool max power supply i'd be disappointed if we don't get at least a mild fission reaction and considering the fact that the coolmax power supply doesn't have a six-pin pci express power connector we're gonna have to use this dual molex to six-pin converter and fun fact molex is actually dr evil's connector of choice i'm really glad that this is a dead connector standard because it really is the worst okay let's fire it up and see what happens if i start uncontrollably vomiting you'll know that it irradiated me and fission did actually happen there we go hmm maybe the igbo is still running the show let me let me switch over all of these components plugged into each other gives off such a strong chemical smell that it
