Video Card Serial Number
His Video Card Serial Number
Graphics Cards: What Do the Numbers Mean? Micah Dilse; 16th Jun 2014. The “Boost” version is more powerful than the non-“Boost” card with the same number. So, is the GTX 680 faster than the GTX 760? The answer is yes, but only slightly. AMD, gpus, graphics cards, numbers, NVIDIA, video cards. Share This Post: Guides to the best.
I was speaking to my friends a lot of times about cheaters. I was thinking about methods how they could solve cheating but I never came up with something useful. But then one of my friends said that Valve should ban video cards's serial number. I was thinking about this a lot and I couldn't see any problem with this.
It can stop smurfing if you can only have one Steam account or you can only have CS:GO 1 time on any of your accounts/video card. It certainly stops cheaters because maybe you have a spare shitty graphics card, and you get banned from that card with your steam account, but I'm pretty sure that at least 95% of the cheaters are not that desperate to keep buying video cards just for cheating.
Gpu Serial Number
So is there any problems with this method? Because maybe I'm an idiot and can't see the obvious answer for this, but I literally can't think of anything wrong with this method. By the way I posted this question to as well because I wasn't sure where to post it exactly. Idk it seems unreasonable to me for people to have to check if the card is banned before buying it. I really doubt Valve would ever put out a tool that would let you enter a serial number and see if it's banned due to the time/money investment of making that tool but even if they did typing a 16-64 digit serial number into Steam every time you just look at a listing is way too much additional work for an average consumer. Idk how tying the serial to the account helps, you could just change the serial every time you reboot fairly easily (it's just a registry key afaik).
