Fake video card GForce GTX 1050ti...Downgrade bios to GTS 450...

[T4C Fantasy]

Heh, it’s kind of working on me. It might be fun to get one and try to get it working going by sasqui’s post.

buy one not in db so i can add when you validate xD

please dont take offense, none was intended. But you have to understand that When someone wont answer questions , and only provides specific info that they want, it can be the cause of uncertainty. Nothing about my request was an assumption, it was a request, and i explained why i requested that information. you can very simply alleviate my concerns, or ignore them.
can you explain how you came to possess the fake card ?


Good morning. I bought the video card from www.wish.com.
As the delivery time was exceeded by two months I made the request for money reimbursement (euro 63).
Money has been reimbursed without any problems, but in the meantime the video card package has come.
I left a message to this site but told me I do not have to return it.
Now I try if I can change her bios and bring it to the original configuration if possible.
Thanks for understanding

EDIT: It's a GV-N450TC-1GI

I'm gonna quote my own damn post seeing as it got lost amongst the crap. ^ That's your GPU, go forth in the wild and find a BIOS for it.

it's like looking for a needle in a grass field... thank you.

Hey just got here by this post, i got 2 faked 1060 with about the same board but 1,5gb of vram on it, if you got any further in flashing these, you might want to share how.
Only way i found so far was a hard flash with bios clamp like mentioned above but as i got these for free and wont invest a penny in them this might be the last chance for them to live as a working part.
to be clear i do this with professional interest in how to recycle these as free gifts or replacements,

as these are flashed to pretend to be 1060 3gb they will crash or make quite colorful screens when pushed above 1,5gb of used vram:

thank you

Get a die and memory shot please, all parts clean

 

[YakHunter]

memory is 6x H5GQ1H24AFR
https://www.skhynix.com/eolproducts.view.do?pronm=GDDR5+SDRAM&srnm=H5GQ1H24AFR&rk=26&rc=graphics

gpu got cleaned of markings except serials

thx for any help, they seem to work if memory is capped at 1,5 gb and newer shader are disabled with modified drivers but thats not a true solution

Can you give us a clear picture of the GPU die please or give us all the readouts of the code on that die please?

A gpuz shot would tell me everything i need

Its a GF106 GTS 450 from what i can see

Too bad there isn't a way to look up in database by memory chip brand/model, chip count too...

With it being a GTS 450 it will only have for GDDR5 either, 1024 or 2048MB at most, it will not have 3072 or 1536MB. Most Likely, he is missing 512MB and if trying to put a 3072 Bios on won't work because the memory size isn't physically there.

they can do 1.5 and 3gb though its been done in the fakes

1.5GB

yes the fake bios lies about memory, but a 450 GTS can have 512 1024 1536 2048 and 4096 memory

I wonder why the database doesn't show 4096, unless if it is in Unverified

thats a silly amount of memory back then its a revision 2 450 though

Heres a white paper of the memory, trying to decipher what ram capacity he has on that card physically.

@T4C Fantasy this is looking to be a 450GTS OEM card with the memory chip count being 6,192 Bit Bus= 8X32bitX6 chips= 1536MB Ram(1.5GB), over a 8 chip card which is a 256Bit Bus 8X32bitX8chips

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/599/geforce-gts-450-oem

@YakHunter try this bios, it is infact a 1.5GB card unfortunately, as there were no GF106 with 3072MB ram only 1024, 1536, 2048, unverified 4096. Your chip count is stated above by math

here is a gpu-z shot as requested:

All i got left is 1 questions:
Is there a working bios editor to get all connectors working with a 1,5gb bios. Nibitor 5.9 and 6.06 as wont open the rom file?

thank you all for the help and i keep you posted what happens

Put the stock bios i gave you on the card as is, there are 2 other bios files too, medion and Dell.

seems this been going on for some time with 1060's like his

https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/891717-gtx-1060-fake/

we all know fakes been around for ever . I guess its why you should use the brands authorized retailers .

https://wccftech.com/fake-nvidia-graphic-cards-flood-world-markets/

https://www.techpowerup.com/134319/sapphire-hd-5550-rebranded-to-hd-6390-for-russian-market?cp=2

thing is even if that card you got was a name brand like evga or sapphire asus , ect ... matching the correct bios would be a lot easier -

'' there are 2 other bios files too, medion and Dell'' that can be OEM proprietary and that medion the uk prebuilt deal makes it worse there about one of the most propritory upgrade unfriendly around form the few guys I dealt with with them .

this was the only thing I found on that card as far as looking the same maybe to help get a manufacture from it but the link is a bust and bad

with that ill assume this card is a knock off for 3ed / non freemarket world places like inda china Pakistan Russia sales only and then they did like the in the links on fakes above and you bought in to it

even back in Apr 8, 2014 flashing may not be a go

heres a vid in here that may help ?

https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/893940-reflashing-fake-gtx-960-to-the-orginal-card/

by the time you buy the tool you may as well just paperweight that card and get a real one

Considering by the GPU Die and Ram array, I gave the Nvidia OEM bios to try first and fore most. It is infact an OEM card due to the 1.5GB ram.

I don't know the few forums I seen with this same type card used guys were not able to flash except that guy in the vid with the rom programmer tool [I almost bought one for something and just said screw it . the new part I was going to use it on was only 125 bucks and then it was new ]

some times when you get hosed you get pretty wet sad to say . I been there
