I cant claim to know about the internal workings of a gpu so thank you for providing that. Ill be sitting down with the OP in a few hours and will discuss this concern in person, and get back to you as soon as possible on the details.

...Which talked about different memory modules being used in the cards...

You see, that's the problem. I mean it's fine for you to not know the difference between memory module and memory chip and their manufacturers.

But for s1 selling 10000 GPUs directly from nVidia.. Like cptfisher said - it smells.
I mean you would expect at least some basic technical expertise, right?

Anyone who is in the GPU business for more than a month knows which memory nVidia and AMD uses.
And what's more suspicious, Kingston is not memory manufacturer. Meaning they buy memory chips and solder them onto PCBs, then sell this product, which is called "memory module".

nVidia and AMD cards have memory chips soldered directly to their GPU cards. New AMD GPUs even have memory on die with the core.

So yeah.. it is all alarming and ofc I don't understand how "sitting down" can really solve anything.
Escrow can, yes. But even then, freezing medium-large amount of money is not really good idea. Because money frozen on the bank account/escrow don't make more money.

I cant speak for the organizers, but I will do my best to try and clear it up today and report back to everyone. We only spoke briefly on the phone and don't know anything about how they arranged the deal, other than it had something to do with memory. But I will absolutely find out.
