GPU Problem!?

[Cypherf5]

Alright you nerds, I consider myself a pretty tech savy guy and I cant seem to get this gpu working. No matter what I do I cant seem to install drivers on this GPU. It turns on and displays but only with microsoft display driver, fans run at 100%, and it overheats in about 30 minutes. I THINK it is a GTX 960, it certainly looks like it with 1 hdmi, 3 dp, 1 dvi and a reference card style cooler

The GPU dye reads "S Taiwan 1445a1 t6b464.0a4"
The BIOS reads 84.06.12.00.01

The thing Is i cant find this any where! I have tried to flash this card with every single rom for a 960 and 950 on techpowerup and just get GPU mismatch.

No visual damage on the card under inspection. Any suggestions!?

My best guess is this was flashed for mining or something and the bios is some weird OEM card that was sold early on in some dell computers or something and the drivers are lost in the nether ether somewhere

run userbenchmark. or GPUZ. find the true name of the gpu.

I've only heard of GPU mismatch errors from unbranded cards with custom firmware.

Well it is certainly unbranded, but their has to be a way to get it working? It wouldnt be like a scam or anything because I can see the 2gb of samsung memory, and all the video ports, so it would be a lot of work if it wasnt "workable"

Part of the "custom" is that they fake the specs. PC will tell you it's a 960 when in reality it's a 660 inside.

It literally says "no product found ". I would have included that I apologize,  I thought it was implied when I was mentioning flashing.

Right but it would be a 660 with 2gb of samsung ddr5 vram, a dvi, 3 display ports, and 1 hdmi. That would mean they completely replaced the dye with a 660...and then flash the whole system...it would be cheaper and make more sense just to fix the 960

and like i said before....the numbers on the dye itself doesnt bring up a 660...it doenst bring up anything at all...thats the problem
