No salida a la GPU o a la GPU integrada
I own a problem card. It’s a 3060 Ti with engraving on the back, marked as a 3070. There’s also a green sticker that warns “For development purposes only. Do not sell.” I assumed it was fine to use. It arrived in an HP prebuilt (TG01-2170M) with a Ryzen 3 5300G and 32 GB RAM. The graphics card didn’t display anything when I tried, but the integrated GPU worked. I blamed insufficient power from the PSU since it lacked enough wattage. After that, I attempted to build another PC with it. The GPU still failed to show anything, though the integrated one performed better. Both fans were spinning, but the system didn’t boot or reach the OS. I tried updating the BIOS and using DDU, but nothing worked. I also used two other GPUs on both machines—GTX 1060 and R7 260X—and they functioned without major issues. In my troubleshooting, I haven’t found a match for this exact scenario. The second PC’s specs are: Windows 10 (64 bit), RTX 3060 Ti, Ryzen 5 2400G (as a stand-in for 5600X), Gigabyte Aorus B450 Elite (latest BIOS), Corsair HX650W, Kioxia KXG60ZNV256G, Hynix S31 Gold, and a 3TB HDD. Is there any chance it could work? Are there fixes I missed?
It looks like you're unsure about the item and want to verify its authenticity. You might consider sharing photos for a clearer assessment.
These are the just two choices. I’m leaning toward the second one.
That cooler looks a bit unusual, the fans seem odd, and the RTX logo lettering doesn’t match the expected design. It might be a test version or a placeholder model—possibly a pre-production unit. I’d recommend trying it on another PC; it could be a limited edition or non-functional part. It definitely feels off, and I’m not sure what it really is. Your current desktop GPU likely won’t work with the card installed, unless you’ve removed it first. You could boot into the new system without the GPU to check if the iGPU functions properly.
The card seems questionable. I’d take off the cover and check the chips to confirm everything is genuine. If it’s a fake, it looks almost identical to the real thing. As noted before, the fans are slightly misaligned and some coloration appears off (though this might just be camera effect). Just a caution if you remove the shroud and cooler, you’ll need to replace the thermal paste and possibly the pads.
You might find it helpful to bring your device to a nearby MicroCenter or comparable location for hardware evaluation. Regardless of the source, it’s worth asking where you obtained the card.
