Need help to identify [FAKE] NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

[Mihoo]

Hello,

Could you please help me to identify what ROM I should use to flash [FAKE] NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti.

Chip details:
NVIDIA
12B7B193 1128A1
S TAIWAN
PBH000.M03

Image of core and details from GPU-Z attached.

- Thank you in advanced

Something based off GF106, probably GTS 540.

I checked this page:
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/nvidia-gf106.g83
... and I don't see GTS 540 on the list.

My bad, it's GTS 450

Thank You.
From what I read You used word "probably" so we are not 100% sure.
But from what I see on other posts, 100% identification will be hard.

Not only is it a fake, but the ROM has been unprofessionally uploaded.
With nvflash I have error - Falcon reset control is disallowed! (PLM=0x00000000x) - similar issue like on below link:
https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...050ti-downgrade-bios-to-gts-450.242351/page-4
Looks like I need to buy hardware flashing tool to flash ROM to previous version ;-(

Bloody chinese scammers.
In fact, I am also an idiot because I was pulled over by the low price!
Ehh... waisting of time and money.

What part of GF116 made you think it's a GF106?

Count the ram chips and get close ups of each.

With this FAKE card, GPU-Z detecting GPU as GF116 - but hard me to say is it detection based on hardware or based on actual ROM? But NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should be reported as GP107 - so I don't see a match here either (during PC POST card showing as NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti but year is 2006-2011 which looks like edited ROM (BIOS)). This gives additional doubts about the authenticity of the GPU-Z readings. Based on the inscriptions from the GPU, I am able to believe that it is GF116.

Looks like there is 4 x Hynix chips on each side of card - 8 x Hynix chips in total.

Hynix memory chip code name: H5GQ1H24AFR

Open gpu-z again and attempt to upload the bios through gpu-z to the vga bios collection/database, you should get a warning the bios is already in the collection/database with a link to it, post the link here please.

Also ram chips are 1Gibibit each.

1 Gibibit=0.125 GibiBytes so *8= 1 GibiByte (GigaByte)
You have a 1GB card

GPU-z reads from the core.

Thank You Sir and yes you are right - I get a warning that bios is already in the database. Link below:

And thank you for the RAM part explanation.

Thank you / so looks like we can be sure that we have here GF116.

Something's still off. 550Ti is almost exclusively 1 or 2GB. The only 4GB model I have dug up is a Point of View. Not sure of that's any help, their website looks abandoned.

We have already determined after the count of number of RAM cubes that we are dealing with a card with 1GB of RAM.

I know, but the BIOS you linked to says it's for a 4GB card.

aaahhhh... yes.. You are right ;-)

 

[Caring1]

Because that Bios is for a fake card where the amount of memory has been altered.

This is probably a waste of time for you, but there is a long list of GTX550Ti Vbios for the 1GB card in the database:

TechPowerUp

Extensive repository of graphics card BIOS image files. Our database covers submissions categorized by GPU vendor, type, and board partner variant.

www.techpowerup.com

You might have luck with an ASUS Vbios as they seem to be the most compatible, but it will need to be force flashed onto your card.

Upwards? How would that work?

That list is useful, that right BIOS is probably in there. :thumbup:

I assume to force flashed I need tool like this: https://allegro.pl/oferta/mini-programator-eeprom-i-flash-bios-na-ch341a-9996162048

Not necessary unless you need to reprogram the bios chip.
Early version of atiflash should do it.

hello guys i'm new here and if i'm doing something i'm sorry
I want to ask if you can help me with my fake graphics gtx 750TI
the memory number is elpida w2032bbbg-60-f
i tried to fix that problem myself but i can not find the bios that matches this graphic.
now I want to ask you:
can you help me find the right bios for this graphic with chip number: gk106-220-a1
will I need to install the bios in a special way
with eeprom flash bios usb programmer module?
thank you in advance.

Its kepler, yeah we will try.

Looks like they put a GK 106 chip on a GK107 PCB

They used a Zotac bios due to version number.

Hmm im not sure point of view exists anymore but we shall look

For sure a 1GB card

@impero you know the tools

Rest of files make sure the bios you pic has 1 DVI-D, 1 HDMI, 1 VGA and Elpida conined in details

Hello
After you managed to find the correct BIOS file for your card, below you have the syntsx you must use in order to flash your card.
Download Nvflash tool.
Put it in root (C and you must make a copy of the BIOS you intend to flash in that folder, and rename it something like : nvidia.rom
Open CMD with admin privileges
In cmd window you will write the following commands : 1st : cd\ and press enter ; 2nd: cd nvflash
Now you will write the actual command to write the BIOS :
nvflash -f nvidia.rom
