Yeston GPUs, are they legit?

Hi guys, i've been looking around for a new gpu for quite a bit of time now, and i have stumbled across this:

I have some concerns here, mainly the fact that they state the chipset manufacturer is NVIDIA, on a amd card. Strange, right?. I have heard good and seen good reviews on some of their other gpus, example is the GTX 1050. It has a ton of god reviews and some videos about it. What do you guys think about this. Am I going to get ripped off if i order this?

My concern is why order from aliexpress? And why a 4gb card when the 550 is nowhere near powerful enough to utilize 4gb vram?

I gather that Yeston is a Chinese company which hasn't made as big a name for itself yet in the videocard market. That being the case, I'd rather buy a known brand.

what do you mean by it not being powerful enough? im ordering from aliexpress because no known provider in my country sells these gpus, and i find them to be pretty cheap
