It's very possible that the manufacturer in China flashed the Vbios to say GT710 when it's actually a GT610. They can get more $$ for a 710 vs. a 610. This is why you should buy a GT 710 with a genuine name brand on the box and on the card itself. Seeing a name such as "Point of View" on the box is a major red flag that it's a fake. If you see an EVGA or Gigabyte branded 710 there's much less chance you'll get a fake one.Side note, isn't it weird that the VGA compatible controller is based on GK208 while the HDMI audio contoller is based on a GF119?

Also, BIOS graphics config screen below.
You should have uploaded the image.Internal Graphics has been set to Auto, same issue.
I tried running the card on the linux usb and went on to see how it would behave while playing videos on youtube, seems solid.
"Point of View" forgot to fake the audio device chip as well as the graphics chip. They figure that most people won't investigate or look that closely. Since the majority of people run Windows and the GT 610 performs almost as well as the 710 many that buy that card will never know the difference.Alright so far looks like trs96's theory is right, I'll try replacing it with another model and hopefully it works.
Thanks a lot for your time. ^^

Here's a good gfx card "red flags" video that any graphics card buyer should watch to know what to look for.
How is the monitor connected ?I keep getting this flash message every ten seconds?
