I purchased a dell xps 8700 from costco.ca and it said it comes with a Nvidia Geforce GTX 645 today I received my computer and opened it to look at the card and I compared it with images of the GTX 645 on Geforce's official site and they are not the same. Did I get scammed and maybe they put in a cheaper card? I'm not that computer savvy and any help or insight is greatly appreciated thank you.

I included this link to compare the original card to the pictures of mine.

The geforce image does not necessarily have to match the Dell OEM model. Dell can change the PCB, change the memory type, change the GPU and memory speeds and still call it a GTX645. You can download a small program called GPUZ and it will give you the video card model/type and speeds. Don't expect miracles from a 645 though, it isn't a high end card, more like low-mid and if Dell used slower VRAM memory it won't help.
