All those who go online and buy a 1050/ Ti that is non branded, let alone 960, 750, 730 etc or ATI/AMD cards from China are asking for getting a bogus card.
I'm just going to say this, Stop buying them and buy Cards from the AIC/AIB Lists.
AMD/Nvidia
Asus, AsRock, Biostar, Gigabyte, MSI.
AMD
AMD, HIS, PowerColor/TUL, Sapphire, Visiontek, Yeston, XFX.
Nvidia
Nvidia, EVGA, Galaxy/Galax/KFA, Gainward/Palit, Zotac
The best thing to do is send the fake card back for money back as they are pretty much worthless in any games today.
Otherwise use them as a troubleshooting card for a system suspected of not POSTing.
These are the Examples of Fake 1050, 960, 730 cards
If you insist on restoring the card, majority have GF116 or GF106 gpu die which are either 450 GTS or GTX 550/550Ti.
Follow directions.
Verify what video outputs you have physically on the card. DVI, HDMI, VGA, DP
Pull heatsink off card, verify gpu die you have and what memory chips you have-Samsung, Hynix, Micron, Elpida, Infineon/Qimonda.
You must verify the memory on the card by brand, capacity. The model info on the chips will tell you in Gb which is Gigabits/Gibibits, go on a search engine and look for DataSheets/Spec Sheets for your memory model. Count the chips front to back of card as they are typically clam shelled.
To find the total Capacity in GB of your card
If 1 chip is:
1 Gb it equals 0.125 GB
2 Gb it equals 0.250 GB
You then multiply by the actual amount of chips on the card so
0.125 GB x4 chips= 512 MB or 0.5 GB
0.125 GB x8 chips = 1024 MB or 1.0 GB
Etc.
Once you know how much memory the gpu has click one of the following links and just adjust it for memory amount.
Please ensure to review the bios details for what memory size and brand is contained and video ports, the bios must match your card in those ways otherwise it may brick.
Warning- 550ti clock speeds are higher and may not be controllable with the fake card heatsinks, could damage the gpu die and memory.
