Well l didn’t intend to get a knock off. A guy on eBay was selling a 1050ti at a pretty good price. He said he got in a mystery box so l took a chance and bought it. It came in decent packaging with a driver disk. I installed and the PC
thinks it’s the real thing. It works until you try to update the driver then it’s game over. I ran a GPU analyzer tool on it and it came back as a bootleg Nvidia card. So it will work with the driver from 6 years ago which l guess is when they copied it. But l cannot update the driver.
