panjang110 Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) hi guys, there is something odd about my xfx 9800gt. GPUZ shows that my card vendor is asus and also the driver cd supplied with the does not work. it says 'the vga detected seems not xfx's product. please go to www.nvidia.com to get the driver for the other nvidia vga' i dont really have an issue with this but hoping if there is a solution for this problem i'm using the card on M3N78 EMH HDMI asus mobo Edited January 3, 2009 by panjang110 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ir_cow Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 yeah when you really have a different card lol. gpu-z doesn't lie. and if you really have xfx take the box and send it back to xfx for a replacement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMG Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 I had that once with a MSI card but I don't use that card no more, mainly cos it was rubbish. no GPUz don't lie which one did you buy asus or XFX ?o.O Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 it would be really funny if you had Sli and two different brands, that would explain alot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
For2went Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 GPU-Z doesn't lie... BUT How about this... I disgruntled XFX employee quits his job to go work for ASUS, but before doing so he has all the cards bios' flashed with ASUS bios' to stick it to XFX ?!? no? How about someone bought that card and flashed to bios to an ASUS one, only then to return the card shortly after for other unrelated problems ?!? If you really care about the vender name that GPU-Z shows, you could just download NVFlash, and the XFX Bios for 9800GT and do it yourself... but...this voids your warranty. You could also contact GPU-Z to make sure that the program isn't having problems with XFX cards (maybe it sees XFX on the 9800GT because thats how it was programed) then contact XFX to see what's up... Personally if the card works I wouldn't really let it bother me! You should download drivers from nVidia anyway when ever you purchase a new card because mostlikely there will have been many revisions from the time they package the disk to purchase/install...

AMG Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 hmm could be, since the BIOS on the GPU is used to indenify the thing I believe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I've had this happen!!!!! See, I won two Diamond 4850 cards from PC Perspective last year, and one was acting up. I ran GPU-Z on it, and it was reported as a Gecube card! http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/zwnkp/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Just install the nVidia driver and forget about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
