Fake video card GForce GTX 1050ti...Downgrade bios to GTS 450...

Reading this thread makes me want to buy a "fake 1060" just to play around with it :laugh: :laugh:
 
I don't know the few forums I seen with this same type card used guys were not able to flash except that guy in the vid with the rom programmer tool [I almost bought one for something and just said screw it . the new part I was going to use it on was only 125 bucks and then it was new ]

some times when you get hosed you get pretty wet sad to say . I been there

Considering Inno3D have such boards for non US markets, I would of returned it right away.

Dude if you live in the US you could have probably went to a automotive parts store and found the O-rings and compared their sizes got the right ones for the type of chemicals you're dealing with LOL.

Yak Hunter was trying to get more memory out of the card that just physically doesn't have it for 4:50 considering 450s only had 1.5 or 2 or 1 or 512

ya, I don't know just seems more like one of them blackmarket for scam use deals more and more . some back ally china factory found the tooling and cranked them out before the cops showed up or just for the poor non free world markets

I'd just chalk this ol'girl up to lesson learned

good luck

I know I know, you mentioned that to me in another post and I was considering it but I already had an order that was shipping out, so I asked them to stick this in with the shipment.
 
So first Thx you all for:
-rom suggestions,
-links
and getting me in the right direction.
I got these f***ers working using a CH341A (Black edition) programmer and CH341A Programmer software version 1.29 from SkyGz.com.
Set to PMC PM25LV512A as the used Chip on this cars is not supported i got it working as a
Asus 550ti with 1GB V-ram and 900 mhz core.
http://gpuz.techpowerup.com/18/08/26/4xq.png
There is 1 bios for a point of view GTX 550 ti with 1,5 gb v-ram which is present on these but it wont work ege cause fragment and will crash if set to high resolution.
But at least they wont crash in games anymore.

Thanks for pics
Give me some time, for all I know I might find that heatsink in the database of 450 GTS. There are 93 verified files

Ok

Here is 1 bios example, it may work, it may not, be on the look out through the bios list for the files that have 1 hdmi, 1 vga, 1 dvi-i in the description.

I'm no expert but that chip was used on the MMX mobile Card (discrete laptop card)
flashing a bios from that card will Brick your card.
Please upload Pictures of your Card and any white stickers found on it also GPUz screen shots
Pictures to include clear shots of GPU die and of the board without cooler please

@eidairaman1 may be able to help you

Why would you bother with an obviously outdated, fake, incompetent GPU, just open a dispute on paypal, trash the card and hope for the best

Fair and reasonable just bare in mind that Vendor might Refuse Refund if you have attempted Flashing

When you have resolved your Dispute and if the Vendor does not want Card Returned then you can try to resurect this Frankinmonster Fake
 
gts 450 have sli support too, source: i owned one
Which has nothing to do with my statement, card in question from OP was a fake 1050 ti. It doesn't have sli fingers (1050 ti) read the whole thread next time
 
Still hard to understand people that buying fake card but refuse to return it instead trying to fix it

Please attempt to upload the gpu bios to the bios collection in gpu- z by clicking the arrow button next to the uefi check box, gpu-z should tell you the bios is already in the database with a link to the specific file, copy that link and post it here please.
