Need help to identify [FAKE] NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

Hello
After you managed to find the correct BIOS file for your card, below you have the syntsx you must use in order to flash your card.
Download Nvflash tool.
Put it in root (C:) and you must make a copy of the BIOS you intend to flash in that folder, and rename it something like : nvidia.rom
Open CMD with admin privileges
In cmd window you will write the following commands : 1st : cd\ and press enter ; 2nd: cd nvflash
Now you will write the actual command to write the BIOS :
nvflash -f nvidia.rom
I found it lol, i just dont keep flash tool commands in my head
 
hello guys i tried what you told me but it gives me errors:
1. I tried the latest nvflash version and got: error writting I / O port
2. I tried a slightly older version of nvflash my screen blinked and I got this: detecting gpu filed
3 I tried with your command in cmd: nvflash -f nvidia.rom but it did not activate and instead of f I put 6 and nothing.
4. when i tried to copy the bios my screen flickers and it gives me a command: bios reading as not supported on this device
I tried with many others on nvflash but I always got a different error
thank you...

OMG, dude, why in the world do you use the latest one ?
You own an older video card (even it is fake) so please be so kind and download an older version (from 2019-2020)

He means older version of the nvflash software.
Older = Released around 2012-2013 timeframe.

You'd think there was a list of supported GPUs for each release, if they don't support all the cards released till then.

Some time ago, few fake cards were found to have flash locks (vBIOS can't be changed using software).
As such, the only way to fix them was by flashing BIOS with help of external programmer (like TL866).
This may be one of this cases :(

You can always force GTS 450/GTX 550 (Ti) driver from GPU support list on such card, and force it to work like it should.
BUT too high VRAM count, will crash it (if it's hit), and that can't be overcame without external programmer.
