Trying to help a local guy identify his graphics card, which has a sticker claiming it's an ASUS GTX 770. I did some digging and found this website selling cards that match the physical appearance:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/GTX-...op-PC-Game-Video-Graphic-Card/1506578340.html

The card runs off a single a 6-pin power, single SLI connector, has VGA/DVI/HDMI outputs, and a core clock of 650MHz, 800MHz GDDR3 RAM, etc... I'm thinking this might actually be a 9600 GT?

I use that link because it has a GPU-Z screenshot included, which I'm assuming is photoshopped. That, or maybe the BIOS on the card has been flashed so that it lies?

Anyone else have any insight to share on this? Also, is there any way to report or shut down the vendor for selling fake cards?
 
No, it's been going on forever. This is why you buy from reputable dealer.
 
112 shaders is a 9800, isn't it? The 384-bit bus width has to be bogus, along with it's 38.4GBps transfer.

All in all, it's pretty bogus.
 
Alibaba guys are scammers. I got a email from their site saying someone selling iPhone 6 plus for 190 bucks lol , it too good to be true , so I just went on talking with them and requested some pictures :D ,when I saw it I was shocked it was pictures of real iPhone 6 plus. Still I didn't want to get it because of bad stories I heard before about Alibaba, I guess the outside looks like real apple but logic board must be Chinese android lol .


Yes it's a 9800 . He must have changed values in vbios and flashed it , or maybe that gpu-z shot is photoshopped .
 
That exact ddr3 card has made the rounds several times ... sad story, lol.
 
Alright, thanks guys. Seemed pretty cut and dry to me, but it's the first time I've come across this kind of thing in the computer hardware arena. Just figured I'd do a quick sanity check. :)
 
Those things flooded eBay a while ago I feel bad for people who don't know any better
