I saw them selling GPU really cheap in Shopee, to the point that I was thinking it was close to the "too good to be true" area.

But quick google showed that they are selling older gen GPU cheap globally, they are legit. I don't mind paying lower $$$ for previous gen GPU, I don't need the new features that much.

Now, have anybody bought any GPU from them before? Do they last? Most importantly, will they fry my other component?

FWIW, I'm not gonna play latest AAA-game at ultra setting. My intention is to play games that are from 2-3 years ago at single monitor 1080p high/ultra settings, I do have dual monitors 1080p setup (the other monitor is just idle when I'm playing game).

Selling older-gen GPU as new means that the GPU die is harvested from cards where the GPU board is not working. Video memory also might be from a GPU board that is not working.

Your money your choice but smaller brands in Malaysia have a real problem with refunds or exchanges ...

I won't trust these no name nonsense. Can't trust that "new" unit is exactly new or some "refurbished" unit that will not last as long as expected

why bother taking the risk...?

i purchased my 2nd hand 6600xt like half a year ago, guess its from mining machine, still working fine

i usually avoid when the shop name has random mix characters and numbers.
Like that shop qiympxp6m2.
100% they are scammers.
