what is currently used to find duplicates when running an audit?

I ran an audit for a platform, with known duplicates, but the files have different names. Sadly not a single file was found as duplicate when I ran tue audit, so I assume that the duplicate tag is set only if there are 2 files with the same name, and not checking things like size or CRC?

 A duplicate game is duplicate if any of the following are true:
The file is the same as another game
The title and platform are the same as another game
The GamesDb ID that is assigned is assigned to another game

Thanks, so 2 rom files should be matched as duplicate if the gamesDB ID would match, from what I see here.

In my case I need to check and verify; as the title is different for sure, although the game file should be the same as they are the same rom file from what I can remember
