How to know what are the real specs of a Fake GPU

[a_random_freak_]

hi,I bought a "Ninja Vga Geforce Gt 730" From a local store..
the specifications were : 2Gb DDR3(128 Bits)
At first i didn't realize that the original Gt 730 has max 1gb with 128bits and 2 gb with 64Bits..
The Price of this ninja gt 730 Was around 70.5$ ( Which is even greater than the original gt 730)
Could it be that they are Faking 2Gb with a custom bios thats why the price is even greater or that this card is 64bits?
Also how can i check how much memory does it really have ..also I want to flash the Original bios
I managed to find a picture of this card from an unknown website: http://hafeezcentre.biz/product/ninja-graphic-card-2gb-gt730-ddr3-128bit/

I Can Provide Any ss From Gpu Z because it wont help since the bios is fake...

Can you return it maybe? Why did you buy it in the first place if you knew it was more expensive than when it launched years ago? Since you can't be certain about it I would not flash it and just launch a game that will use over ,1gb of vram and see if it starts freaking out.

I tried to return it but the seller refused to take it back..i didn't even knew that there are fake gpu out there...
Yeah i tried to run Gta V And after 2/3 mins the gpu crashes..i never checked that after how many ram does the game use the gpu crashes....but i am sure that it uses more than 800mb of vram..
Sorry for my weird english 😛

The problem is the brand. It's a generic 730 and finding a original bios for it will basically be impossible.

Isn't there any way to edit its current bios and change the vram to 1gb or find bios by matching its current bios

"fake" cards cannot (typically) be simply 'flashed' with a correct BIOS - you need specialist tools to do so.

GPU-Z would actually be helpful, as the specifics of the card could help identify what's at it's core.

Removing the headsink & cleaning the paste will allow you to see what chip is physically there - fakes don't go to the effort of creating their own die/IHS


FWIW, most fake cards use custom BIOS' on chips like 550TI's - STRONGER cards that a 730, generally speaking.
So it's not likely viable to use a 550TI etc and make it appear like a 730.


As per nVidia spec... 2GB 730's exist, but are 64-bit and DDR3.

BUT, vendors do have 2GB 730's @ 128-bit, like this ASUS card:

Sorry for the late reply...i checked my GPUs spec from gpu-z..the clocks and other specs are too less compared to original gt 730... can u tell me its original model?

Looks like a GT730, but double the typical memory:

@Barty1884 every thing is same even the memory..i bought my gpu from an unknown vendor and they flashed a custom bios to make it look like a 2gb gpu..whenever i run heavy games and the game uses more than 1gb of vram the gpu crashes..Can you please send me a link of bios which have 1gb vram..that will solve my problem..Thanks!
Sorry for my poor English

 

[Barty1884]

That won't 'solve' the issue. The card detects 2GB VRAM, so you'd need a hardware 'flash' to apply a correct BIOS.

Not a cheap fix at all.

oka..thanks for your help
