They open up fine and to me they load up faster then the preloaded card.

Nah, it's not simply based on genuine or fake. Design matters. Reading PDFs off a card is a different criteria from running an operating system from the card. A card can be good at reading 100MB PDFs but quite awful at, say, running Linux.
Benchmark the card with CrystalDiskMark (at least 100MB). If you get random 4K writes in 1-2MB/s range, it should be fine.
