Hello, I have a problem that I do not fully understand what happens or why it happens. The problem is that windows does not recognize my gt 220 instead it recognizes a gt 505 or a 9500m gs, in fact it recognizes them both at the same time on the same board, something I never saw, but hey, if anyone has any solution please do not hesitate to answer.
I even tried to change the BIOS but it does not allow me because the id of the hardware is different, the id of the gt 220 is 0A20 and the one of the board that appears to me is 0A30 I don't know what to test.
I leave a picture of what happens

there are no geforce 9500 gs with those specifications

Well the Specs on the RH side read pretty close to GT 220 specs. Have you completely wiped previous driver and installed new one?

Do you have a GPU-z screenshot as well, as this may help.

EDIT: it’s possible you may need to go way back to the 190 or 191 series drivers for proper recognition.

I tried more than once to install a working driver, I had to modify the driver to be able to install it because it does not recognize the id of the pci.
and something that happens is that it reaches 105 ° C, which when the plate worked did not even reach 80 ° C

See my edit above. What driver are you trying to install for it?

Windows 10? 64 bit or 32 bit?

OK, 342.01 from 2016 is the newest I found as well.

So, next issue is are you sure it is a GT220?

You might try 341.92. Thats is close to the 190 or 191 ending I suggested above.

Also 341.81 and 341.74, which are legacy drivers for that card I believe.

Unfortunately my brain is half-fogged needing to go to bed. I am currently out of ideas. There are literally dozens of much more able minds here that can diagnose this better and likely will over the next 24 hours. It may need some patience, as people are awake at different times worldwide.

Take the shroud off the card and clean the die up and post a pic of that and the Vram chips with the numbers clearly visible.

Eyyyy I had one of those.

You used DDU to clean up other drivers right? Is windows auto installing drivers?

Did you make sure windows auto install is off?
You are suspecting that windows is automatically installing a newer driver that is not going to work, huh?

What is the manufacturer of the card? EVGA as the GPU-z states?

i ask because it may be it has a wrong BIOS. There are only two for EVGA. The closest one ends in 2 not 7 as yours states. 7 belongs to ASUS.

If someone used a blade to cut that label they might have damaged a trace or knocked a cap off.

the real problem is that it does not recognize the hardware id that uses the gt 220 (0A20) instead it recognizes an id (0A30).
EDIT: oh and also I already tried to change the BIOS but for that error that I told you it is impossible for me to make the change.

I really do not think it is something of importance because before the video card was automatically recognized by windows and could easily install the driver of the nvidia page

Hopefully that will help you flash this EVGA bios on to your card.
Everything matches the GPU-z screenshot except the problematic device ID.

exactly the problem is the hardware id does not allow me to change the BIOS for that reason it is like putting a BIOS of a 2080 ti in a 1080 (the explanation is quite simplified but I think the point is understood)simply you cant unless you change certain things, I think I need the system used by the manufacturers of fake video cards used to do something like that.

I did suspect it. Depending on how old the card is I used it would try to stick the wrong drivers on and give me headaches. It's extremely rare but it's happened. (To me at least)
