I attempted to flash the VBIOS on my GT 610, which I know is an older model. Initially, the flash went fine, but then I tried flashing it again for reasons that aren't relevant here, and now my GPU isn't showing any display output or being recognized by my PC. The fan on the GPU is still spinning, so it seems like it's getting power. Is there a way to restore it using my backup VBIOS, or have I completely bricked it?

Honestly, it's not a huge loss. The GT 610 is a pretty low-end card from over a decade ago.
You can usually find a VBIOS from the manufacturer's website or by searching forums dedicated to your specific GPU model. Just be careful to choose the correct version!
Check if your CPU has an integrated GPU and see if the card shows up in the BIOS. It's a strong possibility that your GPU is bricked, though.
If your GPU has a dual BIOS feature, you might still be okay. If not, it sounds like you've bricked it. But come on, it's a GT 610, not exactly a gaming powerhouse!
Yeah, it's a shame, but dual BIOS is rare on cards like that. Don't get too bummed, though!
