HASEE GTX 1080 Card Outdated Drivers Issue

[mooo53]

Hey, so a while back I purchased a HASEE GTX 1080 off Ebay for around 200 bucks, a good deal in my eyes, even if it only works on windows with drivers from 2017. Its never been an issue for me until now, with new games requiring more up to date drivers. Is there any chance I can bypass this in one way or another? Just wondering if its possible or if I need an entirely new card. Thanks. Info about the card is below

It doesn't use drivers from GeForce Experience direct from NVidia?

[HanZie82]

Yeah like @Dedayog said, see if the drivers from https://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx work.

If not, you might be out of luck if you cannot convince the manufacturer to make a new driver.

[mooo53]

No, it rejects them. If you check the website I linked the most recent drivers supported (of 3 weirdly) is 

Graphics driver

377.35

2017

win10_64 extraction code jea5

 

Which is what I have been running on.

[HanZie82]

Well then most likely the BIOS on the card is to much customised and does not adhere to Nvidia's standards.
And because of all that you might just be out of luck. Also why most ppl reccomend NOT buying cards like that. For this exact reason.

I think. im not 100% sure tho.

That driver version seems like its for Quadros and Tesla GPUs? What does GPUZ and HWInfo64 say about the card?

well, you could possibly try flashing a BIOS of another 1080 model, though it's not recommended unless you are out of other options.

 

also, be sure to quote us so we can see your responses.

Curious if it is actually a GTX 1080.

It benchmarks like one, I think its just because its a chinese seller that it doesnt have the correct drivers. They sell 2080s that have more up to date ones, so I have no idea.

Check this utility out. And maybe https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/

 

Run GPUZ anyways and screencap for us. It can sniff out if it's a fake GPU or not. I think HWInfo does it too.

[VeganJoy]

maybe hash the bios against other 1080s? couldnt hurt to dive in and see how different they are. if the hasee bios is similar to other models' bioses itd be a little more likely to work. definitely a chance of bricking it though, as always

Just to be double-sure what does HWInfo have to say? It's strange if it doesn't let you use newer drivers because it's a 1080, it should work. It's why it's made me believe it isnt a 1080 at all. Especially if you're limited to the drivers its given you.

Yeah its very confusing. Many others have had this same issue, just wondering if I can somehow solve it

Well doing some digging I saw this reddit post by Paradox0073 https://i.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/eu1d8t/chinese_gtx_1080_guide_not_recommendeddo_at_your/

 

He believes its a mobile 1080 that has failed power/voltage requirements. I don't know how true this is so I'm taking it as a grain of salt, yet still possible. Hasee also do gaming laptops so maybe they are putting the bad chips on these things and selling them on as gaming GPUs. Again, I'm not sure.

 

I'm not sure if there's any workaround for this. What does the driver installer say when you try to update?

Ill try installing the newest drivers through GeForce Experience, I'll tell you how it goes after.

Updated to the most recent: 

 

My resolution on my pc is locked to 1280x1024 weirdly. I'm seeing if I can fix this and make it work. My graphics card is showing up but not working.

So it sorta does update but locked to 1280x1024? What's weirder is that OpenCL, CUDA, DirectCompute, PhysX and DirectML don't show up in the Computing Technologies. Not even Vulkan. It doesn't know what RAM size, bus width and bandwidth it has. And it thinks it has OpenGL 1.1?

Yeah I think it just doesnt work.
