I really doubt that counterfeiters would miss a detail that significant, you should buy one to try if they accept returns.

I buy in bulk, and someone recently suggested buying directly from the OEM for Sapphire, which would mean the exact same card, but not exactly from sapphire, it would basically be a brand less card, for much cheaper.
So unbranded/counterfiets exist. But they usually state upfront that this is not from any brand, and sell in simple brown boxes. This looks more like localized Box art, check with local Sapphire contact just to be sure.

It also come with 3 years warranty!!!, it's not country specific because i only find it in this store with a lower price than other stores , other stores have the original box with black backgorund colour.

Sapphire has only has a 2 year warranty and they don't sell direct unless you buy a few thousand gpus on a regular basis so I see two red flags.  Box is definitely different than the North American variety.
