GTX 650 ti drivers not working

[Mumin Mazhar]

I have a GTX 650 ti and only one driver works 337.50. Whenever I install another driver it installs then asks me to restart. After I restart the screen looks really low quality and there are black bars on all 4 sides. When I go to GeForce experience it thinks I don't have any drivers installed and wants me to install it again.

Sounds like it would be a good idea to first un-install all Nvidia product drivers.
Then download and Install the Most recent direct download driver. Once completed, then re-install GeForce experience software if not included with current driver.

I tried that one I uninstalled everything that had to do with NVidia and then tried installing the newest driver from NVidia's website. it still didn't work.

Uninstall (again) everything nVidia and re-install using the CD that came with the card.

 

[Mumin Mazhar]

The driver that came with the cd is the only one that works. But I want to use the latest driver for my card.

 

[Onus]

You will need to contact the vendor and ask them why only their CD version works on the card.

 

[Mumin Mazhar]

I bought it on ebay.

 

[Onus]

Still contact the company that makes the card. Possible a firmware flash will fix it. Maybe that's why it got sold on eBay.

I don't know what company made it. It doesn't say anywhere. When I try to contact NVidia it says on their website that you have to contact the manufacturer which I don't know.

 

[Mumin Mazhar]

Its still not working.

 

[Onus]

Contact the seller and see if that person can tell you. Is there a logo on the card, perhaps the center of the fan, or a sticker on the back of it?

There is no logo on the card and I cant contact the seller on eBay..

 

[Onus]

Are there any part numbers anywhere, perhaps traces on back edges of the board?

On the back there is a sticker that says GeForceGTX650TIGraphic 2GB DDR3 364bit HDMI DVI PCIE hzk9620141101

 

[Mumin Mazhar]

it doesn't say anything about the manufacturer.

 

[Onus]

DDR3??? Sorry to say it looks like you bought an abomination; a card spec'ed for GDDR5 but equipped with the much slower DDR3 to make it cheaper.
I hate to say it, but it is looking more like you got ripped off.

Is there any way to figure out what card it actually is.

 

[Onus]

GPU-Z may tell you more about it, but I'm not sure it identifies the manufacturer.
Is there a reason you are unable to contact the seller?

He doesn't reply to my messages so I think his account might be terminated. GPU-Z says that the subvendor is NVidia.

 

[Mumin Mazhar]

GPU-Z gives me a link to my card http://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/1188/geforce-gtx-650-ti.html

But it doesn't match up with the specs GPU-Z gives me.

 

[Onus]

The specs on a given vendor's card may be different; what you see at techpowerup is the reference design.
Is there any vendor information in GPU-Z?

You might report him to eBay for lack of responsiveness, especially since the product has issues. They may be able to help you get your money back.

In GPU-Z the only thing it says about any company/manufacturer is Subvendor: NVidia(10DE)

 

[Mumin Mazhar]

So I don't know what company manufactured it.

 

[Onus]

It seems you have encountered one of the drawbacks of buying on eBay.
Whatever nVidia says on their web site, if you can actually email a person there, you may get a more useful response. At this point I'm not optimistic, but it isn't going to hurt anything.

 

[Mumin Mazhar]

do you know their email. I cant find it on their website.
