Hi,

I wasn't an genius at computers when I bought this pre-built PC back in 2012 (nor am I now), but after all these years, something got to me. This GPU I had, the GT 630, I saw its specs and when I compared them to the specs on the official nVidia page for the GT 630, they weren't the same. Now, when I popped up the chassis open, I saw it wasn't officially from nVidia, but from a vendor named Point Of View, and I went on their site and could't find the same GPU anywhere. Now, by the looks of it, this GPU has less CUDA cores than the "reference", if I may call it, and I was kinda disappointed by this. I know this GPU shouldn't be used for intense gaming, but it can't run any of the popular titles right, like CS:GO on low settings (I still get lag on some places of the maps), League Of Legends (lags with animations) and etc. Is there any way, like, for you to help me with this GPU, to increase its performance somehow or check out a very stable, supported driver? Anything would be useful, even an advice.

Here are the details of the card:

You don't have to.
Here is the folder with "bla bla" from manufacturer (Point of View)
http://www.pointofview-online.com/retail/PoV%20Graphics/GeForce%20600/VGA-630-C1-2048/
And as you open PDF (http://www.pointofview-online.com/retail/PoV%20Graphics/GeForce%20600/VGA-630-C1-2048/VGA-630-C1-2048%20GeForce%20GT630.pdf) you see that it actually says 48 cuda cores.
How they did it is a philosophical discussion. This card is not listed on their site, so may be was OEM only product.
 


Where can I ask nVidia?
EDIT: nvm stupid question I asked on the GeForce forums
 


They also do chat as well.

As in nvidia themselves, not just forum members
 


Just chatted with their support, and they told me NVIDIA never officially manufactured the GT 630, but sold the design and all to other manufacturers, so they can modify it however they want. Really pissed right now.
