what to do with a fake gpu - gts450?

dfsgsfa

If you want to get rid of it, it's up to you.  I would, however recommend donating it to your local e-waste recycling company so it doesn't end up in landfill.

 

If you're looking for another use for it, you could keep it and use it when you need a GPU for troubleshooting, i.e. when there's no iGPU or motherboard display outputs.

If it works 25-30ish bucks or so

couldnt flash back bios through nvflash

 

trash it?

Only way to fix them when like that is to program it with a EEPROM flasher, even then it would probably cost more to get one of those than the card is worth. GTS 450's are cool though, I've always wanted one... A real one not a scammer one made into something else lol.

Quote me or @TwilightRavens if you want me to see your reply. I may go inactive for a long time from time to time because I forget how to socialize, but I will be back... eventually.
