How to check if GPU REALLY is reference?! - newbiecat - 03-28-2019 hey guys, does someone know if it's possible to identify a GPU (specifically a GTX 1080) as reference/founders edition without looking at the fan/cooler? i'm asking, cuz i'm about to buy a used gtx 1080 and the seller admits to having used it with watercooling and just recently put the original cooler back on. so i was thinking: is it technically possible, someone just buys an original cooler (~10bucks) and slaps it on a non-reference card to make it look like reference/FE and no one could ever tell the difference ?!? ...lol, guess i sound a little paranoid... but it's a lot of money for me... and i'm buying off the internet and people do crazy stuff on the internet... ^^ anyways, thanks in advance!

The others don't. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:NVIDIA-GTX-1070-FoundersEdition-FL.jpg RE: How to check if GPU REALLY is reference?! - powermi - 05-28-2019 Are reference cards even those ones mounted by PC markers, like Dell, as default on their systems? BTW whats the difference in between Founders and Refecence? Thanks RE: How to check if GPU REALLY is reference?! - undeath - 05-28-2019 the picture you posted is reference design. it matches flomac's description. reference = founders
