Have you identified what actual GPU you have? /edit actually that screenshot says what base model it is at least. GF116 was used in several mid tier 4/5/600 cards.

What firmware are you trying to flash?

You can flash all the 1050 Ti firmware in the world and they won't magically turn your fake card into a real one.

Like @Calenhad suggested, the first step is to identify the card you have: look at the GPU, memory chips. Then you look up a BIOS for that exact model in the TPU DB and try to flash that.
If you can confirm you did all that and still get errors, someone will be able to assist you.

Doesn’t look like any standard config for a GF116 I’ve ever saw. Not with 24/12 ROPs/TMUs. But it does report 192 cores, so maaaaaaybe a 550Ti BIOS will resurrect it? Hard to say, fake GPUs are a hassle and a prime reason why if a deal seems too good to be true it IS.
Do take it apart and see what the markings on the chip and memory say though, that’s the best play here.

It’s not a 1050Ti. You can’t magically turn it into one. Disassemble the card and post photos of the PCB, GPU chip and memory chips.

Cleaning off the GPU chip fully would help. And talking a close up photo of the memory chips (dark grey rectangles around the GPU) so that the markings are visible. Or, really, a close up on one of them.

But the markings make me think a GTS 450 V2.

Well, the markings definitely do suggest a 450 V2. But the memory is running at a different speed… Hmm, what about that memory chip photo I mentioned?

Yes, exactly. A close up of one will do, just to see the markings.

Are all four chips identical in terms of markings?

Well, my best guess is still either a GTS 450 Rev.2 or a GTX 550Ti. Could try a BIOS for one of those from the database. Otherwise, wait for more input from the community, maybe someone will have a better idea than me in this.
