I took some pics that show the card has been shut down by windows.

I could not get the card to work as a GT630 in either Windows or Linux, so I opened a case for a return.
I was wondering if anyone else has ever seen such a thing?
Is there a utility to expose the flaw or the fraud? It came with a driver disk, but I think it is also a fake somehow as the card does not work properly as a GT630 should.

Drivers from Nvidia fail to install at all is the problem.

There is a driver disc that will install an old driver. But it is not upgradeable from Nvidia. Install an upgraded driver and it fails.

I ran it and generated an Nvidia report

Something is not right about this card. The driver disk has 'international' in the driver directory.

I searched for that driver and I found this and it shows international driver

nVidia graphics drivers v341.44 (8×)

'File name 341.44-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-32bit-international-whql.exe'

I should try to download and install and see if it works. well they dont download.

Woah, im not experienced with nvidia just amd. Does it fail to install saying there isn't a card? Check your dot net runtimes ect. Maby the installer requires dot net and there's an issue preventing installation. Does it even detect the card, has any damage been done to windows before hand? And nvidia cards dont support Linux fully anyway.

Hello sdowney717,

Please, download latest version of Display Driver Uninstaller, run it from safe mode and remove all NVIDIA, AMD, INTEL display drivers from your system.
Restart the computer and install latest nVidia GeForce display drivers (355.82 at this moment).
You will need x64 version of driver, if you are running 64-bit operating system, for example, this http://uk.download.nvidia.com/Windo...n8-win7-winvista-64bit-international-whql.exe
Let us know, if it will successfully install.

P.S.: "international" only means, there are all languages included in the package and your system default language will be selected automatically.

A driver to Linux is just a driver actually
Driver manager should offer a few different drivers for NVidia products,
If Linux has an issue it's most likely the gpu's bios are messed up by using a bios hack and just failed badly :/
Which Linux might be able to fix it but is it worth it to search for on obviously a meager card from ebay ?
Send it back to whom ever you bought it from.

It either fails to install the nvidia driver using a driver downloaded from nvidia. Or maybe it installs-writes it to disk and does not work at all.

I ran the uninstaller in safe mode, rebooted and it showed vga adapter.
So then installed the suggested 355.82 driver fresh download, it goes through the install motions, rebooted, and comes up with same error as before, device has been stopped because it reports a problem.

here are some more pics

I think whoever made this card (made in china, with no names on it anywhere), put together something as cheap as they could, maybe even re-flashed the chip bios, and cobbled together a driver.
Who knows what the card really is for GPU, could even be a mobile GPU on a pcie desktop card. No downloadable drivers so far have worked, if the driver disc that came with the card ever fails, I could never install the card again in windows.

If i install this driver, then in device manager, right click update, MS will install Driver Version: 9.18.13.4144
but that is all I can do. that driver when searched seems to point to laptops. So I tried downloading nvidia mobile 355 driver, and it also fails.

What do you think, some of these cards are truly fakes.
What would you do?

I also noticed the core clock for the card is showing a lot lower than what Nvidia says it should be.

Can we have a pic of your card itself too?
You my have the stock cooler or a different one, that's a tell tails sign its fake, it either has the official coolers from various manufacturers or some odd aftermarket cooler. But even then its not certain, you have nothing to lose at this point, take the cooler off and look at the chip, identify what gpu the chip is, if anything it can be used as proof against the seller if it does turn out to be fake.

Not sure why you would want a ddr2 card ?
But if it's a NVidia card the drivers should work if not hacked :p

I just roll backed the dead driver to VGA, then windows update said it has an optional driver for the card from 08/25/2015.
So I installed that, card in properties looked ok, windows says reboot. One reboot card is not working, windows has again stopped the device due to reported problems.

I found GPU-z program. SO I guess I will install the only driver that works off the disc and see if GPU-z shows anything odd.
