fake nvidia GPU?

[NixoFox]

hello gamers.
my father got a new pc 4 month ago, i tried to install newest drivers, but installers says: no compatible hardware found, i ignored him. and now, i think i got a fake graphics card, i can't update its drivers (i didn't checked using nvidia site to detect my gpu model and suggest drivers, i didn't used geforce exprience, i can't use them all because i live in iran and nvidia and microsoft blocked us), and i think it's a little weak!

how can i know is my graphics card fake?

or how can i update my graphics card drivers without using nvidia site, geforce exprience or i can't update it with device manager?

my grapics card: nvidia geforce gt 630 (i don't know why but there's a afox logo on graphics card box)

what do that mean "but company allows to active its skin in country."?

Translating back to English was never Google's strongpoint. You are from Iran correct? Iran is blocking NVIDIA, or NVNDIA is blocking them.

he is aware of that, thats exactly why he asked for other ways of getting the NVIDIA drivers which he was given.

The OP is from Iran. Either their govenement blocked it, or NVIDIA blocked them due to the embargo the US has on Iran at the moment.

Are you sure it is a NVIDIA GT630?

By the way...it should be this driver setfor the GT630:

GT610:

note: i think gt 610 and 630 has on driver to install.

Please, you can verify the GPU via GPU-Z
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz
Please run that, click "No I just wish to run, not install"
And then share a screenshot from that main window in GPU-Z
With the Vendor ID# + Device ID# we can more clearly see what it is you actually have there.

If you got the legit NVIDIA Driver Suite and after installing + reboot the GPU still comes up as "Error 43" chances are the actual GPU card is faulty. But also please ensure the Display is connected to the NVIDIA GPU Card and not Onboard Motherboard Video Output(s) or this might be why the GPU addon card does not work properly/fully.

It does not really matter which NVIDIA driver version you get, as long as it is for the correct OS and installs properly without errors. If errors during the install or afterwards, share that with us here. As NVIDIA's drivers are unified; so you can pick "GTX 10xx series" if you want, it does not matter. The Drivers support all the way back to GT/GTX 4xx series GPUs for Drivers released from approx 2017 and older. However, you do have to use a Driver from the 391.xx family or older for any GPU below a GT-630; a good stable one is 388.71 WHQL

Best bet is download DDU from here:
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/Master_Race_Geeks/discussions/0/1621724915801469252
^ There is a few images also here with descriptions on what Options to changes and how to use the tool in general. Then extract the DDU download to a temp folder; like "C:\DDU" and then right click the file within called "Display Driver Uninstaller.exe" and click "Run as Admin" then proceed to change the options so it always launches with options to reboot into "Safe Mode". Then wipe out everything to do with "NVIDIA" and then reboot when DDU is done the cleaning. Then install NVIDIA Driver that supports older GPUs like GT-610; such as 388.71

As given the age and lack of performance of said GPU, there won't be any benefits to seeking out updated Drivers anyways, especially on Win7

long comment! anyway i can't read a lot but i can't uninstall display drivers from control panel?
i go nvidia site i choose gt 630 and it suggest 39X.XX drivers to me.

That is fine, do the Uninstall. We recommend DDU because it ensures a 100% wipe of all of that in a few quicker steps that actually takes less time then uninstalling the NVIDIA items. As you need to first uninstall each NVIDIA item listed in Control Panel > Programs and Features; but leave "Forceware" as the last one you uninstall. Once all are gone, reboot (a few reboots might be needed to complete) then install 388.71

Don't click GPU detections....
Don't install or run GeForce Experience...
Just download that driver version and install it; done.

And when installing, always click CUSTOM
uncheck everything except for Forceware and PhysX

I don't know what is this because nvidia blocked us (can go with vpn).
I talked with someone that knows a lot about pc, he said these drivers downloaded from internet isn't good, he suggest me an app that can detect the exact hardwares' model and microchips, and installs or update drivers.

Well that may be a last resort. I would really recommend trying the VPN first.

i used vpn, downloaded drivers, they won't work. i go and talk with a man that knows a lot about games, i asked is my gpu fake because i can't update drivers? he said <<those drivers you download from internet (even nvidia official site) are not good, get this software (driver pack solution) and try it>>, i tried and see, yes it worked now i got newest drivers! thank you all for helping me!
