Dry_Ice777 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Why does GPU-z write that it is fake GPU? I've never seen this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NismMathias Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I had to look this up as well, I was thoroughly confused since I purchased it directly from EVGA so I figured the odds of EVGA selling a fake GPU were pretty low. I tried searching the HWBOT forums for help but no dice. From googling a bit I found that GPU-Z can do this for certain NVIDIA cards, and its basically letting me know it may have been tampered with. Given it performs like the GT218, and that there are a bunch of different versions of the 8400 GS, and its running the GT218 vbios and drivers, and since I bought it directly from EVGA and not a third party or ebay seller, I figure it must be a false positive (from the googles it seems false positives were also common). First I've seen it myself though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
