Hey guys, I just recently bought a GTX 750ti, I know its a bit outdated but its all I could afford at the moment.
I was looking it up on google and found a lot of articles and youtube videos about fake gtx750ti's popping up so i wanted to ask you If this is one like it

It looks exactly like this one here

This is the GPU-Z info it came up with.

If its required I can find time later to remove the cooler and take a look under :D

Thank you in advance for your help.

Do you see the brand name "Colorful" anywhere on the card? Google "Colorful GTX 750 Ti". Can you find any Colorful GTX 750 Ti that looks like that?

No and no? Then there's your answer. ;)

It could be fake. Colorful is a Chinese brand and as far as I know there should be some of their markings on the GPU, including their dragon logo or "igame" logo. If there are none of these and if the GPU doesn't look like a real Colorful product, it's definitely fake.

This is the best way of Confirming what you have ( be sure to take Clear Photo's of the Board, GPU, and Memory chips).
along with ANY STICKERS WITH INFO
this will help confirm your Cards identity and if its a fake may help you get a Refund

And no it has no "Colorful" markings anywhere except for a Nvidia logo on the fans.
Thats all.

OK I will do it tomorrow, its late now and I have a project open at the moment so cant afford to lose time on that at the moment.
I just want to be 100% sure because I bought this new from a close friend of mine and most importantly I want to make sure if its fake or not so I can inform him not to buy from whoever he is getting them from.

Yeah it actually looks fine to me too. I don’t see anything obvious that’s out of order.

Yeah don't jump ship yet, get a clear picture of all ram chips surrounding the gpu die and a close up of 1 where the text is legible, get a clear pic of gpu die text, and all white stickers on back of card, sometimes they are on a side of the heatsink too.
