Asus GPU showing as Gigabyte vendor. Any suggestions appreciated:))

[theMorThor]

Hi all!

 

My partner bought a 1080ti last year and has had a few problems with it artifacting and generally playing up...It is an ROG Strix 1080ti, but it shows up in GPU-Z with Gigabyte as the Vendor...I assume this means someone has flashed the BIOS???

Is there a way to change it back? As it stands, in FurMark, it gets about 4.4k points at 174% TDP which is utterly dismal! SEE HERE: https://gpuscore.top/furmark/show.php?id=681627

 

Any thoughts are much appreciated! Being uni students in NZ, GPU's are especially pricey!!!

Thanks!!!

:))

 

**edit** just noticed that I was comparing points from 1080 and 1440. Tried to rerun FurMark and it black screened and crashed:( Still a massive problem with stuttering while rendering also!!!

Yup, sounds like previous owner flashed a modified bios. Check to see if you can find the model number or the serial number of the card (usually a sticker somewhere on the card).

Techpowerup offers the BIOS versions of these cards

Since there are multiple STRIX revisions, any selection would probably be alright. Does this card have dual BIOS? It would be more comforting to flash the BIOS if it did, as a safety precaution. But also you can ensure both BIOS modes have appropriate firmware.

Don't run Furmark, it's potentially damaging. It's such an overboard synthetic load that even EVGA CSRs and Techs warn against using it.

 

Can you not just flash the proper current BIOS from ASUS?

Oooh noted, won't do it again then, was just try and find the root of the issue!!

 

Unfortunately not, bios flashing is not supported by ASUS! (At least the bios files aren't available via support downloads)

That would be ideal but I don't believe it does, will check in the morning. I'll try and also match the serial to a bios!
