What company name was on the box or was there any model or company name on the UPC (barcode) sticker? I would tend to avoid no-name cards. Nvidia may make the graphics chip, but other companies make the card. I had a cheap Galaxy GT 430 once that began failing (in Win7 and Linux) just after its 1 year warranty expired.

I have never had any problems with EVGA GTX 550 Ti (3 yr warranty), MSI GTX 750 Ti, or current Asus GTX 1060.

Bit late to the party, it was solved...
Also, Kfa²/galax is a known brand.

you was made, home made GPU

If it's a real Galax GPU, then why the Stickers and Brand logos are not there...??Could be a Chinese knock-off of the real Galax. Just like China made Nike and Adidas knock-off shoes.

Run some benchmarks and compare your result with this chart, to know at least it perform like a Gtx 1070. - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1731

That's the point. Look at the ''SubVendor'' field, it says- Nvidia. Subvendor Field should show the 3rd party manufacturer by whom the GPU belongs to. Such as- Gigabyte/ MSI/ Asus etc. In OP's case it should show ''Galax". certainly not Nvidia. Because it's not a Founders Edition original Nvidia Brand Card. Means something is wrong. May be modified Bios or anything + Missing Stickers fact. Only Real world gaming benchmarks can conferm if it is a real GTX 1070 GPU or not.

look at the ''Subvendor'' field in the following examples---

I think he bought it on ebuyer or something like one of those sites.

Every GPU says that; what you do is google the Device ID; its that simple

Rightclick Windows start button > Device manager > Display Adapters > Rightclick GPU > Properties > Details > Properties > Hardware ids

Mine is PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_67B0&SUBSYS_93951682&REV_80


But yes you are right subvendor should indeed not says Nvidia unless its a refference model.

KFA2 is also a legit brand. I used to have one of their 550 Ti white editions. Damn nice budget card for 2011!

which is what everyone else is saying about how it shouldn't say Nvidia
