Hello everybody. I have one of these cards that they faked to sell on ebay. It is a GTS 450, adulterated to a GTX1050ti. The problem, as you may already know, is that these cards come with the BIOS set to 4GB, while the gts 450 has only 1GB. So when opening a game, after VRAM burst 1GB, the game crashes and nothing works again.

I bought a device to reprogram the eprom and after trying to reprogram all the bios in the universe, I found that none worked. I'm thinking the other way around: hack the GTX1050ti driver so that it shows only 1GB of VRAm. Does anyone know how to do this? Downgrade the driver so that it uses only 1GB of RAM. I think this would solve the problems of all the unfortunate poor who have these fake plates and sold on EBAY.

No, the problem is you tried the wrong Bios for that card.
Plenty of other threads on that issue here, where they found the correct Bios.
Tried a thread search?

It's either a GTS450 Rev2 or a 550Ti
GTS450 used a GF106 chip..
