The box claims that the card is a GeForce GTX 660, but they are nothing but BIOS manipulated old cards from the Fermi generation.

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA

    Boy, I would not be a happy camper if I was sold this under the premise it was a 660 GPU.

    first thing is this has been happening for years ...counterfeiters in asia have been doing it with every generation
    I remember fake fermi cards using g80 chips
     
    I haven't seen a year there hasn't been NVidia counterfeit cards 
     
    This is a NON story IMO
    the only thing of interest was it was traced to a possible card maker and an Asian manufacturer
     
    think of some of the Fake product coming from 3rd world countries - the  legit manufacturers and the fake ones can be in the same country
    when you get a producer selling you product ...you may not know if they are the real deal or not
     
    let alone companies that buy batches of chips and then sell them later -
    speculative buying or maybe wanted to make cards or did for awhile and then want to get out and have overstock to want to get rid of
     
    so old stock may go to some unscrupulous people who make fake cards and then sell to 3rd world countries
    ie bargain cards 
     
    If it looks like too good of a deal then it is... check before you buy
