I'm going to guess... a GeForce GTX 750 Ti?
 
Please provide more details as you're being very vague
 
No one can possibly know without more information, and probably pictures. Especially under the cooler.
 
Yup, pics needed. You says its likely a fake, which means if the software is faked, a software based identification attempt wont provide any reliable info, you need physical inspection for identification

Clear close up legible images of the writing on the gpu chip , vram chips, back of pcb
 
pic? and try to use the latest driver
does it accept the latest driver, if not likely you got fake card
 
This is the NVIDIA Geforce GTX 750TI.

Just a GPU-z isn't enough to 100% identify the card. Problem is they know how to modify the bios on the card to report back fake info. They could take that card and make it say its a 2080ti to gpu-z. What would need it pictures of the physical card and picture of the gpu die with thermal paste cleaned off. There will be numbers and markings on it they don't take time to remove. Sadly what you could have is more like a card 2-3 generation's older then 700 series.

Never wise to buy stuff straight from china as this is a known and wide spread problem of old cards being modified to claim newer card. Its one those "too good to be true deal's"
 
Take the card apart, take pics of clean gpu die-clear text, take pic of a clean ram chip-clear text, take pic of all ram chips and gpu die at once, take pic of white stickers on back- clear text, take pic of cooler.

Most fake cards are OEM style.

Except that's not possible since Pascal, since the BIOS is signed.
 
You'll need to remove the cooler from the card itself so the numbers/info printed on the GPU's die can be seen.
Once that info is known we can then tell you what it really is.

Tell me, who uses a Pascal chip when making a fake card? Sounds like a good deal to me...

I think what he means is you can only fake certain cards and the 10 series and up are harder to fake, i wouldn't say impossible though, you can't mod a bios but you can force flash some crap on.
 
Here is a Fleabay ad for same card from china.

Here it is on newegg.

Does yours have the MSI Scripting in the PCI bracket?

Here is a 1GB model

Here is a 2GB Model

It appears legitimate due to clock speeds, attempt to upload the bios to the database from gpu-z, if it says it is already in the database, copy the link down and post that link here.

Yup spi flasher is what all these fake cards use
 
Wait, I'm dumb, GTX 750 is Maxwell not Pascal, so it is possible this card could be a fake. But I don't think so because it seems that scammers can't/don't edit the "BIOS Version" string, which remains that of the actual underlying card, i.e. it's a dead giveaway.

i got it from china with fake box and i checked real gtx 750 ti and my gpu is weaker i just want to know what gpu i have

What doe "weaker" mean, lower performance? Are you sure the card you compared this one to is identical in terms of clock speeds? Are you sure this card is not throttling? There are so many factors in play that going straight to assuming the card is a fake is not a particularly logical thing to do.
 
My own advice, NEVER RISK BUYING FROM CHINA. There is a huge chans you get scammed. For example stage lights (moving heads) can be half the price.... you may get a look alike even with a western company logo, but the inside (pieces) may be much weaker/cheaper parts that may break anytime. Youtubers have ordered gpus and got a gpu but older/lower model...as suggested, they will try to cover up the stuff by manipulating the bios. Some CPUs had their info removed, buying from there could become really expensive, and get you pissed off.

Just stay away of "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 TI for 60$ , HURRY UP!".
