Hello everyone. It is already common that "manufacturers" are applying this scam. So I took this card identified on the GPU-z as GTX1050ti, but I believe it is a GTS450. After a lot of reading, I decided to buy a CH341A bios recorder. Replaces the Bios with about 10 versions of the GTS450 / 1gB and none worked (I used Programmer EPROM 1.29). The screen is blurred and nothing appears. So, the memories of this board are ELPIDAS 1032BABG-50-F. Photos are included. Has anyone had this experience and can help me?

Did they remove the bottom number on the GPU chip its self? Looks like just a bit of "A1" is visable.

Please take a picture of the core that doesn't have terrible glare, so that we can actually see the numbers. It's unlikely to help, since as @thebluebumblebee noted the seller has already removed the actual part number from the chip, but it certainly won't hurt.

Would also help if you would tell us how many memory chips are physically present. And what display outputs the card has. And what PCIe power connectors it does or doesn't have.

At this point you might as well try every BIOS listed at the bottom of https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gts-450.c1778

Hello everyone. It is already common that "manufacturers" are applying this scam.
Simple Answer is NO
This Scam is generally perpertrated by individuals from **** via Ebay with no official connection to OEM Manafactures.
Sometimes Fooled Buyers try to recuperate their Purchace by offloading their fake purchace via other local resellers.

Yes.

Hello, The Exact Core number and text:

NVIDIA
12B7B613 1131A1
S TAIWAN
PAY329.M08

The inferior number, as @thebluebumblebee said, looks a like Ai or A1 (removed??)
Theres 8 chips of memory: ELPIDA W1032BABG-50-F 1028W90L700 (probally 1GB in total)

The output problem is the application crash after memory overflow (which should be 1GB and not 4GB, like writed in GPU-Z).

Thank you so much.

Hi, Yes, i put the quotes. "manufactures". Bye ; -)

Ok...

By the way, if i used the original adultered BIOS, come back to the function (so-so, freeze the screen in applications 3d)....
