I'd say what you give is what you get in return. Nothing new. Absolutely same measures required when one deals with "good old" non-outsourced Americans firms and their hardware/software .

Yes, and you're a Russian, anything you say has to be not believed or let's call out the Russian Ambassador on that. :-)

Yep, didn't you know your all PCs, especially ones with GPUs pwned already? ;) :D

So, still only driver/ runtime could be responsible....

Hard to believe you keep saying that when the problem doesn't exist when a US marketed card is used. Obviously the Fake Chinese 970 is responsible. This is a Fake 970, to fool the BIOS the card uses a Boot ROM prior to entering BIOS. If you watch the screen closely you can see the card info appear on screen just before the machine enters BIOS. This is how they can fool the machine/OS into reporting a 550Ti is really a 970. Remove the Chinese Fakery and the problem goes away.

So you suppose GPU BIOS is able to redirect text output to file? Hm... I would like to look at such card, really. Sounds like this masterpiece would be much more costly that usual 1080Ti perhaps :)

So, how do you suppose the App was changed to output Chinese stderrs, which only happens when the Chinese card is used? Never seen this before, it Only happens with the Chinese card. I would send you the App, but, you'd have to install Linux to use it. Oh, and as far as I know, Petri doesn't embed Chinese in his code either.

I'm afraid it really doesn't matter, the fact that the problem only happens with the Chinese card makes any argument irrelevant. Basically, you are just arguing to be arguing.

Great I have two as file servers. I wonder how you check for this chip, and if one can do anything about it apart from junking an otherwise perfectly good motherboard.

You x-ray the board and the chips. Yes I know. It is nation state level stuff so you need nation state level stuff to detect it.

Otherwise I'd suggest reading the log from your firewall and seeing if there are any IP's with outbound traffic that don't belong.
