As the thread title says, There are fake rebranded GPU/s/cards circulating around so be careful where/who you buy from. If you have a issue with a card make sure to contact the place you bought it from and reference this article.

Hopefully no one in this community gets burned. At least you can't say you weren't warned

Nothing, it's a Tesla GPGPU and lacks the plethora of ports a GPU has because it's intended for data processing not graphics processing.

I certainly wouldn't have purchased it but why did you delete your post?

Ports are fake, vents are fake and blocked, wood screws hold it together. It's an in-joke if you were around when Tesla came out.

How can you tell they're wood?

...maybe I need this book.

Maybe it's the whole softmodding a gpu into the quadro equivilent ?

Either way, just get your cards from a reputable source, no issues.
