GTX 650 Ti would be pretty close though your card has slower memory and less TMUs according to the screenshot. The fake bios could also be the reason.

Yea fake bios likely report wrong info as there are 400 series cards with flashed bios claim to be 2x the ram it really has. I would doubt that card has more then 1gb memory on it even though claims 4.

Very common if fake bios is put on card that claims more ram then it has in the system. System will try to use said ram and when it tries to write to it crashing is a thing that can happen. The picture is a little hard to read but looks like GK10*-220-A1 is what i make out of it which is comes back to a GTX 650TI. GK is Kepler gpu which if it was a gtx 1050 it would start with GP for Pascal.

but is it common for gpu-z to not be able to detect the correct memory size?

afaik GPU-Z uses the FW to report vRAM, so if the FW is spoofed, the readout would be too

If you already have the cover off the PCB take a pic of the memory chips and post it here along with the quantity
