[SOLVED] Hard vbios flash!!!

[dmcturnan]

Is it possible (on this fake gtx 1060 3gb) to hard flash the vbios to utilize all 8gb gddr5 thats on this pcb?

You would have to first establish exactly what the card is in the first place, but I can tell you no "faked" 1060 is going to have 8GB on it.
Youre talking about Vram only seen on 1080 or higher class cards being sold off as a scam for a 1060, that wouldnt make sense.

@Gam3r01 I ran the P/N on the ram chips. They are Hynix and 2 of them are 2gb each. The other 4 are 1gb each. GPU is an N12E-GE2-B-A1 (GTX 550M). The only numbers on the PCB are BP 4M E186014 94V-0

P/N on the ram chips are; 2gb chips-h5gq2h24mfr (x2). 1gb chips- h5gq1h24bfr (x1), h5gq1h24afr (x3) Hynix

The board LOOKS like an EVGA or Asus. The layout is very similar and has the dark pcb.

Can you post a picture? A 550M has no dedicated RAM of its own.

Apologies for the extremely late reply. Exactly the same as this one. Seems its a 550 ti. Weather its 1gb or 2gb...idk. Just ordered the flash kit so this should be fun. View: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/amtb9e/what_graphics_card_is_this_friend_bought_a_fake/

I was trying to go by the writing on the physical gpu, but it was scratched off.
