FAKE GT 730 CARD

chensoonwei · Jan 6, 2022

Bought from Taobao,found it is fake. Wonder what is the original chips of this card. And how to flash back the original BIOS. Thanks.

micropage7 · Jan 6, 2022

why don't you complain and return the card than sweating for something that may not work?

if you wanna try please put the pic of memory and the GPU, just try your luck

ExcuseMeWtf · Jan 6, 2022

It doesn't line up with any actual GF116 cards in TPU database:

NVIDIA GF116 GPU Specs

192 Cores, 32 TMUs, 24 ROPs

www.techpowerup.com

In fact I can't find any exact match for those specs.

It looks like weird neutered POS. If anything, closer to GF108,

NVIDIA GF108 GPU Specs

96 Cores, 16 TMUs, 8 ROPs

www.techpowerup.com

but even more neutered. "Because f*** you, that's why."

Going to need pictures of the card with the cooler off so i can identify the ram and possibly the chip itself.

yes, will do it

Damn, people fake other cards as GT730... but who would fake a GT730 lmao.

Yup, why not just return it? Even a real GT 730 is pretty weak anyway and no longer supported by NVIDIA with new drivers. Brand new, real low end cards don't cost much so just get one of those.

That's what I've been wondering as this thread isn't the first time I've seen a fake GT 730.

Exactly. Or just get an used one which is a legit one.

I cant find ANYTHING on this card.

Ive ran all the numbers and I think even the numbers on the memory is fake because nothing comes up. They've used some sort of heat imprinting method to print false numbers on the RAM.

0MF27 D9KPT or NHF091.01W doesnt lead to any graphics cards that uses the same or similar part numbers.

Maybe @eidairaman1 might know more but I cant help you.

My suggestion would be to throw the card away or try and get a refund - Its not worth fixing.

Mr.Scott · Jan 8, 2022

It is a GF 119 core and the memory is Micron.

Honestly, just return it. Not worth the hassle.

found one of these in the so obviously fake packaging

Ugh, imagine using that thing.

"we make IT happens" I'm dying :laugh:

The box art is something what a typical pre-teen gamer would probably make with some photoshopping.

I especially hate the way they nobble them to make them impossible to fix. It's not enough that they've f*cked over the customer, they make sure that they stay f*cked. I so despise these criminals.

TaoBao is like Aliexpress or Gearbest but mainly for China AFAIK

I don't screw with fake cards any longer. Not worth the time and effort for obsolete parts.

I like how VGA is such a great feature it's pointed out twice on the same side of the box.

VGA might be actual legit great feature today. Especially in industrial or strict corporate setup where you can't just replace almost everything. There's crap ton of monitors, projectors, KVMs still relying on VGA. One of the lost feature when 710/730 is retired.

i got a hdmi to vga converter. works fine. wasnt too expensive

ExcuseMeWtf · Jan 10, 2022

^Yeah, but it must be an active converter. There are scam passive ones that don't work too.

All you have to do is just "refine your search parameters", here:

So they probably just re-soldered mobile chip on top of 730 card & flash in BIOS.
