Is this a fake card?

Devon68 · Feb 22, 2015

I was looking at gpu's on a site I usually like to browse thru and came across this card and it seems a bit suspicious to me. I really is not my problem but I wouldn't want someone to buy an fake gpu.
Can someone conform this is legit or fake.
With the info I found online, it definitely looks fake, plus I like to follow every card available but this does not look like anything that nVidia would put out.

Fake.

The PCB reminds me more of a 8800/9800GT. The 650 should have 384 Shaders, the 650Ti should have 768. The GPU-Z screenshot only shows 128...

Plus, the PCB shouldn't have an SLI connector.

Fake, most likely a 9800 GT. It's also not possible for a GTX 650 to have a 256 bit memory bus.

@Devon68

All credit to you Dude, and i mean that.

1 having such a deep interest to do research like this.
2. having the knowledge to identify such a specific item
3. having the sense to get confirmation from a knowledgeable community.
4 having the conviction and morality to do something about it.

From "an oldie" ...well done ! :toast:

I wish you could get a speech bubble from your avatar.

@Devon68 are you from serbia? Damn i thought you can get things like this only if you buy from shady chinese websites not europe... And 75 euros for that, what a rip off. I just wonder if they guy is aware about it and tries to cheat people or he doesnt know any better himself

DDR3 and 28nm. Helluva combination LOL. I think the late 8/9 series was 55nm?

There are 28nm cards with DDR3.

Any there will probably be 14nm cards with DDR3 in the future too! Long live DDR3!

It's an obvious fake. It's using China Export fake CE logo.

Wouldn't want to speculate as to what it is.
