Ok, so that obviously IS an 8GB card, which by the way the number you gave me originally was the serial number, not the model number. Serial number isn't ever going to bring up anything except on the ASUS warranty search, which it did.
Since somebody HAS flashed that card with a different bios, all bets are off. Likely it was done by somebody using the card for mining and it's likely that they either flashed the wrong bios or flashed a version that cannot be reversed as happens sometimes with motherboards as well.
Likely, even though that card should still be under warranty you will be facing two issues. One, not being the original purchaser ASUS isn't going to want to warrant it for you without the original purchase information, and two, since it has been "altered" by flashing a firmware version not intended for that card, they're not going to cover that either I'm sure. I think you are s#$t out of luck unless the seller is willing to take it back.
I doubt they will, because they have not been very honest or knowledgeable about anything else up to this point, but I guess it's worth a shot.
