Hi everyone.

I recently bought a cheap Gigabyte 1650 Gddr6, Windforce OC I believe. The problem was no image out in neither of outputs.

Anyway, I installed the card taking the output from the igpu to see if gpuz recognized it, and seeing that it did, but it didn't show all the data, I installed the nvidia drivers to do it. So gpuz recognized the card well but there is some data that it doesn't show.

When reboot I connect the hdmi to the card and then it gave image but gpuz still not show all data.

There are all images and the stock bios I have:

This board has been flashed with wrong bios, as it's bios does not even know what GPU is on board. On Nvidia bios page you show here it just say GPU board, so the bios has no info what GPU chip it is, clearly someone has flashed a wrong Bios in this card. Or the flashing did go wrong while busy writing.

Because of this the GPU on this card cannot initialize and hence no image on screen. Te card works but the GPU is clearly not initialized.
You will have to find a good Bios for this card and flash it with a good one, take care as another bad bios can brick your card.
Then you have to solder the Bios chip from the board and flash it with a programmer.

I can be wrong, but your card looks like the known scam on ebay, ali and wish.
