I got this recently as-is. Gigabyte 1070 video card.
DVI port is removed. I don't know why.
A wire is soldered across two spots where it looks like the DVI port was. I don't know why.
I've read of people simply ripping out DVI ports and the rest of the cards still working fine. Never read anything about soldering a wire in there for some reason.
The card seems to work fine, except it's stuck in low clock speeds. While starting a game or benchmarking, the clocks may momentarily increase to around where they should be, then goes way back down and stays there. Voltage barely budges from low. 0.75v or whatever.
I've tried it in two different computers, 500w and 600w PSUs, yes, the 8-pin power cable was plugged into it. Installed fresh drivers a couple times. I've had an Asus 1070 in another computer for years that works great so am plenty familiar with them.
DVI port is removed.
The HDMI port apparently doesn't work at all.
All three displayports work.
I've tried forcing higher clocks with MSI Afterburner, and setting Max Performance in Nvidia driver utility, but they still do the quick spike up a bit and then stay back down. The main problem with this card is the low clock speeds, but the soldered wire is interesting too so figured I'd see if anyone had some ideas why the card is this way.
