Hi Everyone !
Sorry for my bad english ^^"

I have problem : Have bought 1050Ti on Cdiscount and receive it.
But, in first, the GCU install proprely, and after, Freeze in my desktop.
i think is a problem with Geforce Experience.. But nope
After, i watch video on Youtube about fake Graphic Card..
and after verification, my Chip on GCU is GF116-400-A1. i go on this site for search Bios and use nvflash on Windows but have problem :
--> What Bios i Choose ?
Same people on this forum said : GTS450 or GTX-550Ti but not work....
I know this : Have 4 Chips ELPIDA W1032BBBG-50-F on the board and NVDIA GF116-400-A1.
Is all
Please, how can fix that ? is possible ?
Just working for this moment because i command real 1050Ti next month

Thank you in advance for yours answer

Hi all, I have the same card (fake 1050ti) which I anno actually sorted while tried to flash a working bios. After that I put it away but now I'm trying to resurrect this thing again. One of the MOSFETs was sorted so I changed from another broken card.
Did anybody found a working bios for these? I flashed a lot now but either I don't get picture or it's just blocky. I tried to flash 512MB and 1GB BIOSes as well.
GPU: GF116-400-A1
VRAM: 8x ELPIDA W1032BBBG-50-F

Should I just try all of the compatible BIOSes or what should I do?

What video ports are on the card, get a pic of all ram chips surrounding the gpu core to include on the back of the card please.

I only flashed bios which supports ELPIDA ram
Erm it says hynix there

I tried multiple bios with elpida support all of them produce this blocky image.

I made a picture from the bios chip as well.
There are very few components on this gpu...

There are 4 on the front and 4 on the back. In the previous post you can see a mem chip

Yeah, I know but in this video the 1GB bios didn't work even if there was physicaly that much ram. That's why I also tried 512MB BIOSes.

Unfortunately non of that BIOSes worked correctly, I will experiment with more BIOSes.

I found the original bioses:


Can I modify it somehow to make it report a GTX 550ti and 1GB ram?

Thanks:laugh: I can't return the card.
I keep trying with different 550ti bioses

I'v found a bios for gts 450. The guy probably tried to write back the id and stuff and now it's recognised as gts 450 and gpuz info is correct, screen not corrupt but it still displayed as fake.

Are you able to post the original BIOS?

If you've got one that shows the right ram size and detects as a 450, I'd leave well enough alone on that. If they've jacked with the resistors in the back of the card that control the hwid and what is on the bios differs, it's going to say fake.

I see, thanks for the info. I modified the bios to work on a bit higher clocks but it's working now well enough.

The original fake bios must be one of these. Both work.
