Question I just noticed my gpu is FAKE!

[Nixo05]

Hello there,
I tried to download GPU-Z and look about my GT 730 and I found it fake graphics card, I took a picture of gpu processor and it was GT610M, and im thinking if I can flash it to original one, what's your suggestions?

Do you have any issues?
Not really worth to do anything with it.

I don't know, it's damn fermi version, and I can't install any above than 391 driver, maybe if I can change it to GT 610 it could be original one

Did you pay a lot of money for it?
What do you intend to use it for?

Anyway - it is not capable for anything beyond basic 2d desktop apps.

I bought it for 36.49 Dollars
I want to transfer it to GT 610 so maybe I can play without 'CRASHING' and install latest driver.

I play Overwatch 2 for 40 fps, why 2d lol?

25fps @720p
LOL. Do you think that's playable?

Well, why 40 fps on GT 730? It's same processor, same gigabytes?

GT610 is significantly weaker.

Okay, if I flash my GPU to GT 610, I will be able to install the latest driver?

You might, you might not. It's hard to tell since there's no standard fake card out there.

turn it over to your nearest electronics recycling center as garbage and buy something decent.

Looks like you just wasted $37.00.

Flashing it back will not stop it from crashing, and I don't think you can install newer drivers with that old a video card anyhow.

If you bought it on fleabay, you could challenge it and get a refund, but the postage to give it back isn't worth it IMHO.

Best thing to do is eat the loss and buy a cheap video card from your retail store and learn not to do that again.

Did you just say the GT 610 and 730 are the same because of their memory size?

I hate to break it to you, but that not how it works. To start with the 610 uses much slower DDR3 vs the 730's GDDR5 memory, but memory aside, the 730 is a much more powerful processor....although I'm almost laughing as I write that because neither is very powerful.

You paid $36.49 too much.
