Hello, I'm very sad because of a situation, I bought a fake GTX 1050 IT video card on the Aliexpress platform, I checked the chip of the card and is with the numbers (nvidia 12b8b543 1135A1 S TAIWAN PBG972. M01) I would like to receive a help for me to find out what the original Bios of this board, because it is giving error in updates, since I thank you from the heart! I don't know what else to do.

Most of these are GTS 450's or GTX 550 Ti's, definitely not 1050 Ti's.
There are lots of YouTube videos on this subject.
Moral: don't buy cheap graphics cards on Aliexpress.

No driver downloaded from NVIDIA's website is going to work with your card. Your best bet is to find the driver on a CD that came with the card(if any).
Even then, you could experience crashes in modern games.
Try to return the card if you can.

I think it's a 550Ti, based on this page: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/nvidia-gf116.g88
Look at the second-last row. The specs of that match with the specs of this card.

Most likely a GPU from 2011! Looks like GPU-Z, can't be fooled so easily!

Aliexpress has a warranty.

show them these pictures and you'll get a refund (sometimes even without sending the card back)
