Is this a fake Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 TI?

[xWiimarco]

I just bought this Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 TI and i tested it, but it looks underperforming and it doesn't run games like GTA V (i've got a i5 650 so it should run). It can't even run 1080p videos and i can't feel difference
between this card and my old one (Nvidia quadro fx3700). Please help me, thanks a lot!

Where did you buy it? Was it an almost too good to be true deal and from some some dodgy Chinese marketplace? somethings definitely not right, probably a gt 610 or similar bios flashed to show as a 750ti if you answered yes to any or all of the questions above........

 

[xWiimarco]

I bought it on ebay and i paid it around 130€

If Bought New ( and Sold as new )
Ask for your money back
IF as NdMk2o1o said

Ask Seller to refund if he refuses take to dispute/arbitration

Everything point you posted seems to indicate that the card is not a 750 Ti. Did the seller have a lot of positive feedbacks or just a new guy trying to sell something quick?

Yup, get a refund if you can, no doubt about it.

NVIDIA won't be too happy about such fakes either as it gives them a bad name, so you might want to send them an email about it to help them fight this. They won't help you directly though.

U could try to use Aida64 under PCI / AGP Video to see what it says not sure doe if it read the bios of the card but it don't need any drivers for the video card.

otherwise pop off the cooler and clean the gpu and take a pic of it and look up the numbers...

If the pics don't show correct GPU they will help you prove you been ripped off and help you get refund

Did You install the drivers ? Which brand is it supposed to be ?

 

[xWiimarco]

I've installed all the drivers from the nvidia site, it is supposed to be nvidia

 

[Caring1]

Definitely dodgy, they have the right device ID, but not much else.

 

[jboydgolfer]

Link the sellers page.the sale listing
Also,there was some fakes on Amazon a while back, i remember running into them when shoping for my nephews 750ti

Btw,another fake like yours...iirc,they take a much older card,put on some rando shroud,then flash a semi compatible firmware,and sell it at a WAY lower price hoping to grab people who want to buy cheap,and that what they get CHEAP.

 

[xWiimarco]

Just a little update

 

[NdMk2o1o]

Don't bother taking the cooler off just open up a dispute with PayPal and be done with it, either way it's a dud card.

Meant to be, but it doesn't look like a reference card from them.

I'll open a dispute with PayPal as fast as i can, thanks

This is what we know , i mean manufacturer of the card not the chip ?

I ve never seen such a GTX 750 ti

 

[jboydgolfer]

My guess is that its a 650. Thats what they used for the amazon ones iirc,

 

[FYFI13]

No OpenCL, CUDA and PhysX support on your GPU-Z screenshot, looks like the driver isn't properly installed.

Probably a Fermi card. I was looking in the past, out of curiosity, about these GPUs on eBay and Chinese shops, and while they do say 750Ti or GTX 960 or whatever in the name and GPU fields, what those crooks can not seems to be able to change, is the BIOS version. That 70.something BIOS version, is pointing to a 400 or 500 series card. A GTX 460 or a GTX 550 Ti would be a guess. Googling 750Ti's GPUz screenshots show BIOS versions 82.something. If it was a 650 the BIOS version would have been 80.something.

Another example of a fake Nvidia card on a Chinese shop is this one.

[little cat]

oh yeah. the hybrid leviathan NviAMD.

"Radeon GM206"

LOL, didn't see that.
That is probably a stupid mistake from the person inserting the data into their database. I don't think Chinese shops want to mess with Chinese companies like Colorful. I believe that card IS a real GTX 960. Anyway, Radeon GM206, By AMidia!
