Now to wait until all my parts show up to continue...... probably the toughest part of building something... lol... Time to do some more study on Win 10 and VRAM allocation I guess...

As for the IGPU, it is automatically disabled when you plug a GPU into the PCI, yet the 3GB RAM is still allocated to VRAM. Now from what I understand system RAM comes first and foremost so if I used over 3GB of system RAM it would simply use more RAM for the system and less for VRAM so in the...

As for memory usage with the few internet tabs I have open and background programs running I am using 2.67 GB of RAM memory, as I stated I have no memory shortage issues as my computer is generally pretty minor for the most part. About the only time I ever challenge is when I am modding or...

It is not "using" the memory as I do not really do too much that is particularly gpu intensive generally. I was just reading that it is best to have twice the amount of system RAM as you have dedicated VRAM. With my 4 GB memorey and 8 GB memory I would have 12 GB system RAM and the 6 GB VRAM...

I picked up a "new to me" computer a few weeks ago and old HP 500-205T with a Pegatron Memphis-S motherboard. It currently has an i3-4160 Haswell 3.5 GHz Dual core 4 thread cpu in it. Right now it only has 6 GB og RAM in it and it is pulling 3 GB out of that for VRAM added to the 1 GB on my...

Device manager labels with the code associated with a 1050 Ti, that is because the BIOS has been spoofed to give a false ID. As for the circuit board being fake, it would cost far too much to make a fake board, each change we made to our circuit board designs cost us tens of thousands of...

It will have the correct BIOS in it, it just needs the header to be modified. And yes it has to modified manually it cannot be done via software.

It actually functions reasonably well, even in games it works until it gets an out of memory error due the erroneous 4GB memory listed when it actually has 2GB. If it is run under the proper drivers with the correct BIOS information it should run alright on some of the ancient computer systems...

From some more searching it appears that out of that list only the GTX460 and the GTX560 Ti appear to have the SLI bridge. Can anyone back this up? I might should add the GTS 450 and the 550 Ti into my list though they don't show a manufacture with 2GB memory, doesn't mean that somebody didn't...

Going on "Fermi" architecture and GGDR5 memory I came up with these potential possibilities.... GT 340 Feb **, 2010 gddr5 1GB -------------------------------------------- GT 430 Oct 11, 2010 Fermi gddr5 2GB<<<<<<<<< ( GT430 GT 440 Feb 1, 2010 Fermi gddr5 2GB<<<<<<<<<...

Watching a video another thought occurred to me, it has to be old enough that one can easily spoof the BIOS, the newer cards that is not possible with, they have probably set the security bit on the chip. When did NVIDIA lock down the BIOS I wonder? That should give me a limit on how new the...

I found a number of very close AFOX cards myself no matches but as of bed time last night I was thinking it was likely an AFOX, though I haven't been able to get any closer today.

One thing that has been throwing me in all of this is the lack of VGA ports on almost all cards that I can find. Even the 450, 460, 550 and 560 cards appear to be missing VGA output ports according to the GeForce website and the pictures that I can find.

Ok, from what I learned the "PAC" on the GPU should give me the architecture of the card, though I cannot find an architecture labeled as PAC anywhere, one could potentially make the jump "Pascal" though that would make the card a bit newer than I would expect, especially with a VGA output on...

I wonder, is there any chance that the K-1 on the circuit board signifies Kepler architecture? That would help narrow this down some.

He paid about $73 US the price was $98 Canadian, though it is refunded at this point so no cost.

That is the closest image yet and I have looked at a great many over the last few days. the only thing missing is the SLI and the VGA and HDMI outputs are interchanged but that doesn't mean that this card isn't a GTS 460. Thanks for the input.

I took it out of his computer the same day we got it, it said quite a bit of info it, but doubtful much if any of it was accurate, though now I am wishing that I had kept track of what all it did say. I might have to go ahead and reinstall into another computer though going through the driver...

lol... No he has absolutely no intention of using this on his new computer, I thought "I" might use it on one of the old systems I have around, after 20 years of building computers I have dozens of old computers here. The 15 systems that we have setup are most far too advanced to make this...

My son is getting a refund, but we are left with the card which is a working card, it just isn't what the BIOS says it is so it is unusable due to loading the wrong drivers. If rewrite the card identification in BIOS back to what it should be it should work just fine albeit as a 550 or whatever...

My guess so far has also been a GTX 500 series, though as yet I am unable to prove this. Thanks for the aid...

Here is a pic of just the GPU chip.

I think you misunderstood my post.. This is "not" a 10 series card... It is a "counterfeit" card where someone takes an older 450 or 550 etc and goes in and changes the BIOS to read as a 1050 Ti or a 960 Ti etc and then sells it as such. The card reads as a 1050 Ti so it loads drivers for a...

I got to thinking that these guys counterfeiting go so far as to give a drivers cd, though the one that my son received only had drivers for win2k, wnXP and Vista so will not work for his Win7 system. We only have one xp computer left setup in the house and one old vista neither of which this...

My son found a great deal on an NVIDIA Ti on Ebay, despite my warnings that anything that seems to good to be true is in fact going to turn out to be "to good to be true" he ordered it anyways. After getting the card and quickly determining that it is in fact "not" a 1050 Ti I became curious as...
