Right now I have Zotac 1070 mini from my friend, who had been using it for about 4 month before it "died". When I tested it with my both of my machines (one with the G4560 with iGPU, one with the 10105f without iGPU), it never gave any video output despite being detected in every software I used (Device Manager, MSI Afterburner, HWInfo, etc), I can't configure any games to use it in Graphics settings, but I've been using it for mining using NiceHash (as the 2nd GPU in my 10105f rig) and use FurMark as normal.

The GPU I had before getting this 1070 was a 1050ti, and it had always worked on both benches.
So in summary, my 1070 is detected and can do GPU stuff, but is not giving any display output ?
Any advice? Thanks in advance.

I'm a bit puzzled; you installed a GPU that died and are wondering why it doesn't give any display output? What did your friend experienced when it died?
Notice my use of quotation marks around the word "died". It is still detected and can be used for mining and stress testing, but can't be used for gaming as I can't change games to use it.

As for my friend, he said he experienced artifacts and glitches.
