GPU Verification Standard
Proof or it doesn't list.
Every GPU on GPU Circle is verified against this public standard before it can be sold. Real evidence, no exceptions. If a seller can't produce it, the card doesn't go live.
Technical evidence
6 real card photographs, plus a separate readable serial-label close-up. No stock images or deceptive edits.
- Full card — front and coolerSharp, well lit, and showing this exact physical card.
- Full card — back and PCBSharp, well lit, and showing this exact physical card.
- Display portsSharp, well lit, and showing this exact physical card.
- Power connectors and PCB edgeSharp, well lit, and showing this exact physical card.
- Installed and powered onSharp, well lit, and showing this exact physical card.
- Timestamp note beside the complete cardSharp, well lit, and showing this exact physical card.
- Serial / label close-upUploaded separately, sharp enough for moderation to match the typed serial.
GPU identity
Prepare a GPU-Z text export from the actual card before filling in the listing form. After the listing is created, upload a separate GPU-Z screenshot with the listing ID visible on screen. The text export and screenshot are different evidence files; both must describe this exact card's model, BIOS and memory. The separate serial-label photograph identifies the physical unit.
BIOS & device IDs
BIOS version, device ID and subvendor ID must be present, internally consistent and valid for the claimed model. This is what catches a re-flashed card sold as something it isn't.
Performance test
A FurMark 2 test run for at least 15 minutes, with temperatures, clocks and artifact detection. Upload its strict UTF-8 TXT result or FurMark CSV monitoring log. Existing paid 3DMark results may be supplementary but never replace FurMark; 3DMark normally requires Steam, and sellers are not asked to install it. We look for no crashes, thermal throttling or visual artifacts, and publish the curve rather than only a verdict.
Disclosures & grade
Honest history, clear condition, fair grade. Every one of these is mandatory and shown on the listing.
- Mining useYes / no / unknown — unknown is an acceptable answer, silence is not.
- Repairs or replacementsRepaste, pads, fans, reflow, anything.
- OverclockedWhether the card has been run outside stock.
- Water-cooling conversionOriginal cooler removed or replaced.
- Physical conditionCosmetic wear must be disclosed. Smoke, liquid damage, structural cracks, PCB damage, or missing cooling parts make the card ineligible.
Condition grades
No visible wear, original packaging and accessories, reviewed test evidence, no repairs.
Light cosmetic wear, fully functional, reviewed test evidence required, nothing beyond a repaste.
Visible wear or minor cosmetic damage, functional, may run warm or loud — every issue photographed.
Functional and safe but heavily worn, or maintenance recommended. Mandatory evidence requirements still apply.
A claimed grade mismatch is reviewed as potentially not-as-described. No refund or account action is automatic. See the full rules.
