hi everyone
today i've received my gtx 670 from Msi ( ordered from amazon.fr). This is actually the second time, cause the first time i ordered it, it was already been used from someone else, so i decide for a full refound ( at that time, i ordered it from an italian eshop, cause i live in italy).
Well first of all i have to say the card is not bad conserved, but on its back has a sort of thin translucent coat in some areas: i don't know where this thing comes from. Maybe it's like this from the factory and it's pretty normal ( maybe someone that have this card can confirm it or not ? )
I actually can tell you that is a second hand card because the manual is a little bit creased, so someone at least has opened the box ( i have to say that the plastic in which the card was in it was the first time i think it has been opened )
Last: i just mounted the card and istalled the drivers. But if i open gpuz with skyrim opened i can see that the clock speed is exceeding the factory values ( and i haven't oclocked it for sure! )
Maybe, if it has been used from someone else it as been "modified" somehow?
Well what would you do in this case? The card seems running ok by now, and for sure i don't care about a creased manual, but you know, since i payed quite good money for this card i would like it to be really "new" ( or is so difficult to find in an eshop something that hasn't been used yet? )
Thanks for any suggestion !
