Hi, everyone! So I know these kinds of "fake" graphics cards have been circulating the internet for a few years - we've even made videos about them. But in this current climate with new and used cards selling for 2x or even 3x what they were a year or two ago, I feel it's important to not only SAY why they're a bad idea but also to SHOW why they're a bad idea. In desperation, someone may still fancy a Fermi "1050 Ti," and this video serves to demonstrate why you shouldn't. Hope that makes sense. Enjoy!

I think the VRAM speculation could be correct. Maybe nothing was physically wrong, but the GTS 450 has 1GB of VRAM while the 1050 Ti has 4GB. I'm guessing the game tried to load more than 1GB of data in VRAM at launch, but the VBIOS currently installed let it write all of it into VRAM (since it thinks it has more than 1GB), instead of splitting it into shared system RAM. Basically, the system let the game write the 1025th megabyte of data into VRAM, but since the 1025th megabyte of VRAM doesn't physically exist on the card, it is completely unable to be written to anything and the entire system just has no clue what's going on so it just locks up and dies.

It possibly crashed because the bios was reporting it as a 1050 which has more features than the 450. If you reflash it to what it is supposed to be, the older games should probably run.

@genegtaylor 2 жыл бұрын

This is also what I think. The games wouldn't run because of the modded bios. I have resurrected a card that someone practically gave away as "bad" and the only problem was the bios. A wonky bios causes big issues with the drivers and DX.

@genegtaylor 2 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure it is a 4GB vs the 512mb-2GB a GTS 450 has. In the GPU-Z screenshot the memory amount shows as zero. Having the wrong bios causes many issues including unstable clock speeds, enabled features that aren't present, etc.

@letto18 2 жыл бұрын

Go through flashing with a proper GTS 450 BIOS, specially a BIOS with the proper VRAM amount. The issues you had regarding memory is the fact that the 1050Ti got 4GB VRAM while the GTS 450 got at most half that though likely even less so it's trying to address non existent VRAM.

@Dennn90 2 жыл бұрын

Went to the trouble of desoldering bios chip (nvflash refused to work, no matter how long I tried) finding suitable bios for the card, flashing with programmer (it took like 4 or 5 tries to find the one). The card is detected, runs benchmark for 20-200 seconds and freezes, artifacts or black screens (before it black screened immediately), underclocking or undervolting isn't helping, GPU probably was dead prior to bios mod. Got the card for free and done all of this just for fun. Also I've using it for 6 pin PCI-E tester, if I'll burn it, I don't care.

You can flash the bios if the card and then it should "work" in more games and in benchmarks like firesrtrike. Thats because the benchmarks and games think the card supports features what the 1050 ti supports but it doesn't and then crashey. I guess it should perform better as well if you flash the gts 450 bios on it.

Yeah, I ordered a 1060 6gb from Walmart and it is actually a 460 one gb card. I paid 180 for the bad bad graphics card

You should try to flash it with its original bios and see if it can somewhat redeem itself

Most likely won't. Since as far as I know these cards are damaged physically as well, so if it was to be flashed with the original BIOS it will just brick the card. Might work if it is a new/completely working GTS 450s.

I built a new PC and re-used my old graphics card because, well, current pricing is ridiculous. I want to use the old PC for KZfaq videos and Amazon Prime and stuff like that. My solution to get a 1080p display was a $15 NVS 310 1GB from eBay. I highly suggest that route instead of gambling on these scammy cards. The little 310 works great. I doubt I own any games that will play on it but that's what the Ryzen 7/ GTX 1070 is for. Hopefully pricing levels out this new year and I can bring my GPU up to my CPU. But yeah, $15 NVS 310 is the way to go if all you want is a working display.
