Yes, it's fake. It's a very common fake card and instantly recognisable as a fake, but if you're not familiar with those fake GPUs one obvious giveaway is that it has a VGA port. Pascal cards (GTX 10X0 cards) did not have VGA ports.

Yup, it's fake...

Actually there's only so much fake gpu heatsink and shroud model (i think it was only 7 different model)

Looks like one of those GTS 450 with a firmware hack. They all have the same cooler and shroud.
