but they sent me GTS250 which they flashed the video card to show ASUS GTX750 TI 2048MB

the drivers will not work properly and the screen lags because it thinks it is asus 750ti but the real is gts250

If u use Nvflash u need to write: nvflash -4 -5 -6 filename.rom

If i am not mistaking this will overwrite almost everything if not everything.

Hmm, only now I ask myself if there's a hardware or software lockout to prevent flashing. Does that even exist?

There aren't that many commands you can try.

Any chance of filing a dispute with eBay first? It's probably going to be pretty annoying and lengthy to go through, but it's likely the best thing to do.

This is as I feared, you bought the cards from a site with quite high risks of getting ripped off. I've known about this site for some time, a few relatives of mine buy electronic components from there, and it's 50/50 that they got ripped off on what they sent off.

GPU's in bulk are especially known to be reflashed cards.

You've been defrauded, so why don't you try to get your money back instead, like rcoon said?

I wouldn't put much hope into a refund from these jokers either unless you paid by credit card then contact your card service and see if they will do a charge back.

You Are flashing from a command prompt (dos box ) you should have booted to command prompt only

If that's the card (s) then they also want a "DAMM" good cleaning

Purchasing from alibaba.com is like rolling a dice. I purchased an aluminum HTPC case from there once. Cheap as hell. Got it and threw it away. Scratches all over the places, missing pieces, bent places.

That place is a joke.

That sounds only good on paper. Seller asked me to send it back and the shipping cost alone was triple of what I paid it for. Not worth it and the seller probably knew that.
