Will underclocking my graphics card un-fuck it?

[CockDepartment23]

Hi there, i have a GTX 1650, it was factory overclocked. And also, dumbass me also overclocked the card, which led to graphics failure (i think the vram is dead). I want to see if underclocking will un-fuck it, one small issue though. Whenever i install the graphics driver, it black screens. And overclocking or underclocking is not possible without the nvidia driver, i am wondering if there is a way to underclock it at start, when the nvidia driver are installed. Sorry if this post is retarded. (I use linux and windows.)

Do you have the possibility to use the iGPU from your CPU?

That way you could be able to install the driver...

Unfortunately my CPU (Ryzen 5 2600) Does not have an iGPU. And it sucks because here gpu prices are still doubled than msrp.

Heck, i would be happy even with an igpu. I cant even play goddamn terraria

Undervolting wont revive dead VRAMs or help you at all (because you cannot control voltage or clocks without having drivers installed). I assume you tried testing the card on a clean install of windows? If so, you just have a dead card on your hands.

Maybe try flashing another bios to it. One without factory OC. Also make sure to remove the OC program, MSI afterburner or whatever you're using.

@CockDepartment23What model of 1650 do you have?

You mean a vbios or the motherboards bios?

Can you relax on the coarse language? It isn't really necessary here.

 

The clocks are baked into the VBIOS, if you're lucky then you can flash an alternative vbios, depending on the card. Aside from that, the card will attempt to boost to it's stock clocks when the driver is loaded. Some miners modify the bios's to underclock for efficency, so that may be an avenue as well...

Yes. But, about some time ago, (was half dead) i went to the nvidia control panel, and chose debug mode (i think it puts your gpu back to stock clocks). And it worked? Sorry if the thing i just wrote is dumb

Developer settings have no effect on how the card works. Its unrelated.

Sorry. I heard that nvidia's vbios clocks cant be changed?

I dont know what the hell it did, but it fixed it for 2 months, and then died

Yes vbios

Yes vbios

And i should try to change clock speeds from the vbios?

Im pretty sure its this gpu: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/asus-phoenix-gtx-1650-oc-gddr6.b8404

 

Wont it brick it if flash the wrong vbios?

Can i flash a vbios from another brand of the gtx 1650 to remove factory OC? or will i just brick it?

Yes. Thats why im asking which model you got? They need to be the same type. Most 1650 is just reference design anyway.

I already replied to you what graphics card model i have, here it is again:

Yes but you can flash it back with another gpu. Is your boost clock listed as 1635mhz? If yes, then it's most likely your card. You can check with gpu-z for example. You can also backup your BIOS with GPU-Z. You should do that before flashing.

[DoctorNick]

Make sure to do it like this post show, also the part after flashing, remove drivers with DDU: https://www.overclock.net/threads/how-to-flash-a-different-bios-on-your-1080-ti.1627212/

Also, i do not have a backup graphics card. If its bricked, its bricked. Well, i guess it wont be much of a loss since i already tried everything.

Just double check if this is infact your card, then it will be fine, I'm pretty sure this is the nvidia reference model anyway. Most likely if this is another type of the same card, one or more ports is not found and you can reflash with no issue.

Hold on, i need to reinstall Windows, for some stupid reason?

No just the drivers. You can use the software called display driver uninstaller. Basically follow the guide on overclock.net

No it just fucked itself up (the entire os)
