[Request] Modded BIOS for fake GTX 1050 (GTS 450) — BIOS Modding Requests
Win-Raid Forum

I recently got some fake GTS 450 cards being sold as GTX 1050TIs. These cards have a GF106-250-KA-A1 GPU and 8 Elpida W1032BBBG memory chips on it (1GB total) I’m having trouble finding a working GTS450 BIOS for this card, every GTS450 BIOS I tried has visual corruption on the screen or crashes when I try to load the drivers.
The fake BIOS however seems to work fine when I force-install the GTS 450 driver, so I think something is unique about this BIOS on how it accesses the VRAM. Perhaps these are defective memory chips that have been binned for a lower capacity? I am not sure. I successfully fixed the GTX 550TI variant of this scam before but after trying dozens of BIOSes I am at a loss on why none of them work on this card while the “fake” BIOS does work (although the GPU and VRAM amount are inaccurate and would no doubt crash if pushed over 1GB or however much memory is really in this thing)
So, I am wondering if someone can mod my “fake” BIOS that was originally on this card to accurately report the GTS450 GPU and the correct amount of VRAM? I dumped the BIOS that was originally on the card (included in zip folder) using my bios programmer. Thank you

@AAHC2012 — It may be best to ask for help with this in the GOP Update thread, even though you may not want GOP inserted, since many graphics vBIOS guru’s frequent that thread. Do you want me to move this there, or leave here?
@Sylar76 — “Strange Nvidia image was found after ROM! Please report it!”
And, can you help with the above, thanks

@AAHC2012
Try this please, using your bios programmer.
It should report card now as GTS 450.

@Sylar76 — Thanks but with this BIOS the GTS 450 driver still won’t install and when I force install it GPU-Z still says the GPU is fake and has 4096 MB of VRAM.
So I think it says the chip is still a 1050 somewhere else in the BIOS
————————
If you think it can help feel free to move it, thank you!

Maybe Sylar76 can help you fix the VRAM issue too, once he has time and sees your reply, then no need to move (he’s who I expected might help you in the other thread)

Both BIOSes have corruption on the screen, one is all white boxes and the 2nd is random colors.
Went back to the original BIOS and the corruption is gone. Any idea what’s going on? Is the memory on this card weirdly configured or something?

@AAHC2012
When you say “back to the original BIOS” are you referring to the fake bios ? I could try again to edit it in order to properly show GTS 450 ant the correct amount of RAM.
Anyway I’ve found the exact bios version of the fake bios coming from a Palit GTS 450 1 Gb VRAM.
I modded it and added also UEFI GOP Table.
Try this please.
I’ve also found that your “fake bios” is the same on techpowerup vga bios collection taken from a NVidia GTX 1050Ti 4Gb mem size card.
There are many fake bios coming from that.

Yes, the original fake BIOS works without corrupted display.
I tried the new BIOS you just gave me and unfortunately I’m still getting a corrupted display (lines through screen this time)
Sylar76

@AAHC2012
Try this new one, which should now report GTS 450 with 1 Gb of VRAM size.
It is based to the fake bios you have, so it should not show any display
corruption anymore.
Please report feedback.

With this one the card isn’t recognized at all, my motherboard boots to onboard graphics.

Bummer to see all this hassle, but thank you for continuing to try and help here @Sylar76
I would have assumed your first edit would have sorted it all out, and then once I saw issues, I again assumed your last edit would be the one to get it… I wonder why they spend time to make fake boards, and then fake BIOS too, instead of just simple edit to OG BIOS?
Sylar76
#13
@AAHC2012
I’ve found the previous error.
It is due to the lack of NVidia Subsystem ID and a wrong checksum.
Try the new one zipped file I’ve attached below please.
Anyway the correct bios size is 60 kb and not 256 (which is the eeprom size) but I’ve done mods in order
to properly flash via eeprom programmer.

Hi, sorry for the late reply.
It works without corruption but now it’s recognized as a GTX 960, NVIDIA installer installs the 960 driver
At least it says the correct VRAM this time.
Sylar76
#16
I can’t understand why it says GTX 960 if I’ve changed device ID and everything related to a GTS 450.
agentx007
#17
Have you tried forcing GTS 450 driver (from device list on advanced install option) ?
AAHC2012
#18
I can install the GTS450 driver manually, but the card will still be recognized as “fake” and again both Windows and Nvidia driver installer think it’s a 960 now.
Something in this BIOS must still be set wrong. Does anyone know how GPU-Z determines if a card is “fake” or not? That may be a clue to track down what it’s looking at.
Lost_N_BIOS
#19
That may also be what’s deciding it’s “960” too, whatever fake check ID’s it as? Does other tools like AIDA64 or HWINFO64, say it’s 960 too?

It’s very very strange as I’ve edited any device id.

Graphic & Video Card
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Bought this graphic card at a much higher price from Lazada which was supposed to be a Geforce 1050ti 4gb graphic card but later realized that it was a fake one! (See tech gpu-z screenshot)
It turns out to be a Geforce GTS450 1gb graphic card instead.
So selling at a loss. You will need to manually select and download the GTS450 graphic card driver from Nvidia website and install it to work.
Requires 6 pin power connector
Supports hdmi, dvi and vga ports.
Packed in a ESD bubble bag.
Self collect at Sembawang mrt
Thanks for viewing.

Memory speed is one aspect that determines memory bandwidth.
Shading patterns
Shading units (or stream processors) are small processors in a graphics card that are responsible for processing various aspects of an image.
texture units (TMUs)
TMUs take texture units and map them to the geometric layout of the 3D scene. More TMUs generally means texture information is processed faster. nine0003
ROPs
ROPs are responsible for some of the final steps of the rendering process, such as writing the final pixel data to memory and for performing other tasks such as anti-aliasing to improve the appearance of graphics.
Memory
effective memory speed
6612MHz
7008MHz
The effective memory clock is calculated from the size and data transfer rate of the memory. A higher clock speed can give better performance in games and other applications. nine0003
maximum memory bandwidth
105.8GB/s
112.1GB/s
This is the maximum rate at which data can be read from or stored in memory.

Colorful has long won my trust.
When choosing a video card, I did not even doubt the quality of the product. At home, the parents have a video card and a motherboard from this brand. nine0003

Parcel
I am often scolded for going overboard with photos of packaging and product. I’ll try your way.
A video card arrived in this package.
Phone 5.5′ for comparison.
There was a very nice box inside. High-quality textured cardboard with printing, tactile — very pleasant.
The corners were hushed up along the way, but this did not change the first impression.
On the back of the box they write about what a cool vidyuha and so on and so forth … advertising. nine0024
At the end of the characteristics of the card
The box is nice to hold in your hands, you can call it a gift box. How are things inside?
The video card is hidden under a 20mm thick sheet (the tape measure is lying) Exactly the same is located below.
Waste paper, card and adapter from two molex to 6pin.
A business card and a CD with drivers were included in the booklet. The text is English and easy to read. General words on the use of video cards, I think, one for all products. nine0024
I guess about the offer to visit the site
Video card in excellent »armor» and antistatic package.
The whole set of delivery (the photo of mine with a cap on the contacts was lost)
Appearance and interfaces
Looks presentable.
On the reverse side there is an impressive metal plate. Matte paint. Was covered with a transport film
Requirement: Remove before installation! nine0024
Additionally, the eye clings to two things.
Heat pipes SO
Turbo button
Strange, but to overclock the graphics chip, you need to squeeze it out, not squeeze it. I would have done the opposite =)
The pack of the first photo session was lost on flash drives, could not find . Only one plug left
Found!
All connectors are neatly covered with plugs.
Power connector 6pin
Mention that the model is not a reference. Gamer custom.
Barcode and QR code
Video outputs
I think we need to add a lyrical digression.
Available connectors: Display port, HDMI and the familiar DVI.
If you read my reviews, you may remember that my monitor has a VGA input.
Even on the GT 9600 512 mb, my dad and I used a DVI to VGA adapter, maybe. the GT730 card has a VGA output, the adapter was left idle. It was intended to be used here. nine0024
Hop, he doesn’t fit. This modern 1050 graphics card uses DVI-D, which only outputs a digital signal. The adapter was not even physically compatible with 1050.
Shustrenko found an HDMI to VGA converter and ordered it. Luckily for me, the package arrived in two weeks. Works great. There is another one in stock.
Where does all the talk about Chinese technology begin? That’s right, fakes.
Oh, yes, the bios is flashed here. This is GT — 550, it will lag on YouTube from 720r. nine0024
Opening…
First, I remove the plastic casing with 90mm fans / coolers / blowers / propellers / spinners / carlosons.
Are you all happy or should I add more?
They are connected via 4 pins, have PWM speed control.
Colorful label. Do they do everything for themselves?
«Wiring» is laid neatly, nothing dangles
exposed radiator. Painted in the same matte black.
There are a lot of ribs. The height closer to the chip is almost twice as high as on the periphery.
The radiator is large enough. fastened with 8 screws: 4 in the center and 2 pairs on the periphery.
Remove the radiator. Here is the GP. Thermal paste was not spared, the excess squeezed out around the perimeter of the processor.
Here is the GP in all its glory: GP107-400-a1
There is nowhere to go. Real 1050Ti.
4 GB of video card memory are equipped with 4 microcircuits manufactured by Samsung. Numbered: 1,2,3,4. nine0024
Magic turbo button, rear view
Processor power subsystem is implemented on 3x »phases»

Radiator, inside view.
Everything was so nice and tidy. What’s this? why such cross striation? I always thought that they were trying to polish the contact spot with the processor. Well, they arrived …
The main legs of the radiator are made of plastic.
Close up
I didn’t understand this joke.
I remove the main plate, which is fixed better than all parts, with 7 screws.
Glued on the inside with an insulating film
Textolite underneath. There are no large items.
The plate makes contact with the back wall, giving excellent rigidity to the graphics card.
There are no complaints about assembly and soldering, everything is clean and tidy.
They did a jamb with a radiator. Although the CPU temperature is normal, even under overclocking, wild overclocking. nine0003
