In some cases you maybe come to the point, that your card is too exotic or defective to ifentify correctly. The most common case is the defective one.

If you are not 100% sure what card you just installed in your system or do you have a supposed defective card, it is possible to get some information.<br>

General Information

Please keep in mind that's your own risk to flash a fully working card. I take no responsibility for any damage to hard- and/or software.

DumpBIOS 64k

DumpBIOS 64k is the tool to recover your actual BIOS flashed on the card. Before flashing a new one or simply for my help you can dump it.

Short instructions:

  • Extract the ZIP-file
  • Execute the executable file (Use Windows XP or below)
  • A file named BIOS.BIN will be saved beside the executable file
  • Rename the file, so you can identify the BIOS if you need it again


If you want to support me:

  • Capture some information about the card
    • Name of the card
    • AGP? PCI? SGRAM? SDRAM?
    • Revision printed on the PCB
    • GPU/RAM-clocks
  • If possible generate a hash for the BIOS-file
  • Send an E-Mail with the BIOS and as much information you can find to the address you find here

Identify the card

If you are not 100% sure what card you just installed in your system or do you have a supposed defective card, it is possible to get some information.
So you can inventory the card or maybe get a chance to repair it by simply reflash the BIOS.

Here are some tools to check your graphic card.
