Never owned a GTX 960 but I feel like the ports are way off. Looking at some photos on Google of genuine ones I'm almost sure the one you have is fake.
Also, what is that monstrosity of a controller in the first picture, lol.
Or connect it and look at the hardware id strings.Only real way to tell is to pop off that cooler, clean the thermal paste off and look at the etched part number on the gpu die.
Aren't those read through the card's firmware? The fake gpus get flashed with one that tricks even gpu-z or hwinfo into thinking they're newer gpus.Or connect it and look at the hardware id strings.
Doesn't that mess the driver too then? I've never actually seen one of these.Aren't those read through the card's firmware? The fake gpus get flashed with one that tricks even gpu-z or hwinfo into thinking they're newer gpus.
Somewhat. Jayztwocents and Gamersnexus did videos on fake gpus. The fake cards run "normally" but the performance is awful because they're typically gtx 650 ti inside with a custom gtx 960 firmware.Doesn't that mess the driver too then? I've never actually seen one of these.

That's basically what happens when you try to run demanding games on fairly weak and old hardware. It's not a definitive answer into saying it's all solely due to the firmware hack.they caused crashes and artifacts,

No one ever checks the $1Faking a 960 is sorta like putting alot of effort into counterfeiting $1 bills
