I got this gpu from aliexpress and as I expected it was fake, I got a CH341A Bios flashing tool but I can't find the bios chip, can anyone help me identify the bios chip or identify what type of card it is, I can link more pictures if needed, and there's a few chips on the front and one on the back, and also please don't mind the volume thing as I screenshotted the pictures for a quick compressing solution as the pictures were originally too big and I hope someone can help me.

remove the cooler and see what is written on the chip, it's that simple

edit: you already did it, remove the paste and read it

Worthless piece of hardware.... Only good for display in case your CPU doesn't have iGPU.

Guide: Flashing with a hardware programmer

Lets get physical So; you tried flashing your GPU and you didn't backup. Now you have some dude on the forum linking you a BIOS but you have no way to apply it because you don't have a spare GPU either. Well no worries friend. In this guide we are going to cover the simple procedures of...

That goes over how to identify. As for your pictures you can’t read anything on the card. I’m not sure how you thought we would.

I would just go over the card and try to read the chips noting down what’s said on them.

The guide goes over the more command brands you will find. Likely winbond.

is a gf108 gt610 gt520 gt420 ecc... 1/2 of gt 530 fermi... wasted time. fermi is one of the few gpu's where you can fake device id via bios.
99.9% of scams are done with old, fermi GPUs
no good can come out of that chip.

scam consists in passing it as gf116 but it is not.... it is a gf 108 with only 48 alu and 8 tmu.
gf 108 is also used for gt 730 oem rebrand but the one with 96 alu and 16 tmu not this one.

Please get a clearer picture of the letters on them, flip card over and look under the heatsink in the same position as other ram chips on opposite side

i know i had one of those cards but this is a gf108, gf116 chip is bigger and you can't alter the number of alu and tmu you should have had at least 144cores.
or a fermi 2.0 gf119, mobile derivation... however equal to 1/2 gf108 really crap gpu.

Because its more affordable then spending 150 dollars for a gt 710 in a country where the gpu market is trash.

I have a gt 730 2gb with fake bios Help

I have this gt 730, which I realized is fake, and it crashes when it exceeds 1gb I would be very grateful if someone could modify the bios so that it only had 1gb so that it does not crash thank you so much and good afternoon I attach photos of the gpu-z and the bios(GF-116.rom) in question.
www.techpowerup.com www.techpowerup.com

I think this is exactly your case.
gt 610 1gb ddr3....


1gbit x 8 = 8 gbit = 1 gbyte ddr3

this gpu is just too slow to do anything with it other than surfing on internet.

Funny enough GF117 from the database has this confuguration, so its possible that the GF116 had its shaders rops/tmus dummed down.

Good night

since you will never be able to use recent drivers because fermi is out of support the easiest thing is to take that bios and cut only the amount of vram in half...
if some genius here can do it... I do but now I'm going to sleep.

So what bios should i use to flash the card? also thanks for the help

You ask @siryoink to modify your existing bios so it only shows 1GB of DDR3 and a gts450 designation or something along the line of that.
