Is there a way to know the exact chipset of the videocard and download corresponding BIOS?

goto techpowerup, they have a database of vga bioses

https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/

you may need to remove the heatsink/fan to get the actual numbers off the gpu and memory chips.

also try gpuz at the same site but that utility sometimes depends on an accurate bios but it can also provide a lot of info even with a wrong/faked bios.

So we look at the bios version



From GPU-z. That's because modified bios won't change the bios code. That should work right?

yes, it can. modified = change

afaik anyway, im not an expert by far. but i know there are bioses that will confuse gpuz.. it is very good but not infallible.

you would probably be better off posting at techpowerup:
