- Chinese company buys HD 6450
- modifies BIOS so that the device ID is one that is currently unused and not supported by the official driver
- bundles special driver that shows the card as HD 6850
- Profit!

I must express my sincere admiration for your dedication to GPU-Z by even including cards like these! :)

Edit:
By the way, will the memory usage readout ever be changed for Windows 8 in any future version of GPU-Z? The dedicated memory useage never goes above 0 as far as I know, so I guess it has become a bit redundant?

The idea is that the unlucky buyer can use GPU-Z to get real info on the card and possibly get his $$ back

Yep, I can certainly understand that.

However, I would imagine that of all the people using GPU-Z, only a very small fraction would ever need it for that exact purpose, so I found it admirable that you still choose included it your piece of software. :)

I got no further info for you. I saw a submission that had an unknown GPU (because GPU-Z didn't know about the device Id), took a look at the data, determined it's fake. Added device id. Gotta wait for a submisison using working GPU-Z

Not exactly a 0.6.8 observation (but a 0.6.7 one)... but why did it take so long to implement a Texture Mapping Unit readout?

We didn't have enough data. TMU count isn't something the driver will report.
