Hi All, I did get taken with a fake GTX 1050ti card. I did get a refund and I wanted to see which GPU is present. Here is the number I found. P4Y664.M01. I can't find anything on the internet with this GPU number. The card does have 4 GB DDR5 memory so it wasn't a total loss.

A picture of the PCB would certainly give more information. I could make a guess of what generation of nvidia core it's using based on it's size, I could tell if it does indeed have 4gb of GDDR5. I could compare it to other nvidia cards and make a guess as to what it is. A GPU-Z screenshot would also be helpful.

What is not giving me any information is those numbers you provided. If the card is fake they are likely just arbitrary numbers that don't mean anything, I cant find anything on those numbers.

EDIT: If GPU-Z says its a GT 450, it is probably a GT 450.

This number is on the GPU itself. I removed the heat sink and that is the number that is imprinted on the chip itself. Here is exactly what is on the chip.

NVIDIA
12B3B376 1112A1
S Taiwan
P4Y664.M01

A picture would not give any more information.

I got a refund for the card so it is a free card, although I can only use low settings for the modern games. I was just wondering since GPU-z shows the card as a GT 450.

Thanks to everyone who helped me with this. I'll just keep it stored in a drawer. I appreciate your time and experience you spent with my problem. Moral of the story, stick with reputable companies for purchases. Thanks again.

If you do not know how to better identify a GPU, on what basis are you informing others, who have experience identifying these mystery GPUs, what information they do or do not need?

Unless you have Wonder Woman's invisible GPU in her invisible PC on her invisible plane, seeing the actual PCB can provide clues as to the origin of the GPU.
