What card is this?

One thing is for sure, it's not a 1060 :cool:

?Que?

Maybe it's a toaster.

ALXAndy · 28 Jan 2018 at 14:24

Google says 560. It could be worse though..

Edit yeah, GTS 450.

Armageus · 28 Jan 2018 at 14:49

No idea what chip it actually is as there are no 192/24/12 parts, although as above gts450 is probably closest based on clock speeds

By editing the BIOS what fields can you change? Clearly you can change the name, model but that about PCI interface, bandwidth?

ver01@ · 28 Jan 2018 at 15:06

More like 550

Dicehunter · 28 Jan 2018 at 15:25

Core count, Memory bus width, Memory bandwidth and core clock wise it looks like a 550 Ti -

Whats the reason for the query did someone try and sell you a fake 1060 ?

Was asked to see why a friend's new gaming pc was slower than his laptop

I'm seeing quite a bit of this around. This looks properly cheeky though, did you get a look at the card itself? Should be really easy to spot that a 1060 is not a 1060.

What can be faked in GPUz?

Anything really.

Hopefully not the OP, but anyone want to identify this one currently listed as a 1060 3gb that "Boots fine to desktop but low frame rate with games without however artifacts."

ver01@ · 29 Jan 2018 at 09:25

This could be easily a Radeon

The middle output is a 15 pin DSUB. Something from the 500 range maybe.

It's 100% an Nvidia China number one edition card.

Why not change everything then?

I've just come across a few 8800GS cards from my F@H days. I might edit the BIOS to say Vega 64, setup a Chinese Ebay account and flog them at £1k a pop.

You can do whatever you want with the BIOS but it won't change the bandwidth
