newbie problem with new gtx 650 ti card

[jayk2k3]

just installed a gtx 650 card
http://www.ebay.com/itm/for-GeForce-GTX650Ti-Durable-New-CPU-NVIDIA-2GB-384Bit-DDR3-PCI-E-Graphics-Card-/201309222984?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2edef6f848


Plugged the card in the pci e slot and connected the 6pin power suppy to the board. (I noticed there is a little white connector on the board and another connector on top of the board, no idea what they are for?) installed the driver fine but graphics wasnt that great and the nvdia experience program show the card not working but windows device manager show its was working. There was a update for the driver, so i updated it now graphics are even worse and device manager shows it not working now.

oh my fuckng god it's that card. I've had firsthand experience with that card, and let me tell you that card is NOT. LEGAL. It's a black market card. It's not recognized anymore by the GeForce drivers. 2 telltale signs tell you it's illegal.

1. Says Nvidia on it. Nvidia does not manufacture its own cards.
2. 384-bit and 2gb DDR3?

I would HIGHLY recommend returning that card and getting a legal one.

Are you sure? If so, and the OP does have the number of the guy who sold it to him he might get them arrested..... Is there any source that proves that card is illegal?

oh yeah, you think you've seen it all in the PC World, then go over to your friend's house, clean install Windows 7 and wonder why the graphics drivers aren't working. Then you open up the PC and take one look at it and are like WOW.

Was that what you did? Man, it must be rough to be running a GTX 650ti to find out it's actually a GT 640 or something...

wasn't my card, it was my friends, was helping him clean install Windows after his hard-drive got filled with viruses. The card is pretty much rendered unusable by a few of the geforce updates released a year or two back. It's pretty much a potato now.

Very interesting story. I mean, I've heard of illegal GPUs but never dug through the subject much..... You're always learning, I guess.
