Is this Jingsha Graphic Card GTX 960 a fake?

Hi,
recently I bought this card: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002310945074.html.

GPU-Z shows the information reported by the graphic card firmware. However, when I press the Lookup button, it opens a webpage that reports a fake card.

After that, I did a benchmark using UserBenchmark that shows that the graphic card performs very low compared to the average for a Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 but the average performance of the card that says techpowerup that it is (GTS 450), is worse in UserBenchmark than the one that I got with this Jingsha card.

What do you think?

How could I know if it is a mistake in the lookup in GPU-Z or if the card is really a fake?

Thanks so much.

The specs actually line up with real one. Have you performed actual tests in games and such?

Good idea. I just run the UNIGINE Superposition benchmark at medium settings and the FPS are the same as an EVGA GeForce GTX 960 2GB SSC of this video:
The Jingsha model I'm using is 2GB too. This sounds as good news since the CPU-Z lookup shows the card is a fake and UserBenchmark rates it very low.

But why, the lookup of CPU-Z would report it is a fake card?

Looks like a bug in the database.

Update to a recent GeForce driver (466.77 atm) ; a fake GPU would crash with r400+ drivers.

Also: in GPU-Z click advanced tab, select CUDA from pulldown menu
a real Maxwell reads "compute capability 5.x"
a fake GPU with Fermi reads "compute capability 2.x"

I did update the drivers and checked that it has "compute capability 5.x".
Then the card seems to be 100% legit. Thank you so much.
