These are the pictures I captured from within. Faking doesn't prevent it from functioning properly? I can re-test later once my am5 components arrive for a new PC. Thanks.

Okay, seemed there was some room at the bottom of the screen to drag GPUZ to to see the info of interest.
It's in far enough otherwise the card would not be detected.
The driver is probably being told there is 4GB of VRAM when there's a lot less so not addressable. Possibly memory error but best to get the right firmware working first. Or maybe you can try to get your money back?
If you look carefully at your GPU pic you can just make out 'GF' and '16', lazy faker didn't do a 100% job of erasing it.

Fake cards occasionally succeed, but often fail. Those selling used junk items usually focus solely on getting your money. It's best to have purchased from a platform offering buyer safeguards.

The screenshot of the problem was an example, the lines are moving constantly so its very hard to read or even click correct buttons.
So problem whouldnt be bad connected card.
To have the correct firmware, means flash the card? I don't know about that.
And no money back, I got it on fb marketplace, but thanks.
Thanks, I got it cheap on fb marketplace.

Ack, it might already be too late, but you shouldn't use GPUs on Facebook Marketplace because they provide much weaker buyer safeguards compared to eBay.

Sure, but I'm from Chile, so eBay is from another country = tax.

Yes, it's a 100% tax if you fall victim to a scam on Facebook Marketplace.

Yes, flashing was needed and purchasing the related thread is recommended as it includes some VBIOS files. It seems nvflash isn't suitable here; an SPI programmer will be required. This adds extra cost if you don’t already have one. The last unit I bought cost around $6 and came with a 1.8V adapter and clip, though the clip is somewhat awkward. It’s useful when making changes to graphics cards, mainboards, or having a backup in a solid BIOS—helping you restart if the chip or board gets damaged during the process.
