Going off of Byosoft's own website, seems they're only the firmware provider, not the chip manufacturer.
As for the dead card, there is a red LED on the back of the card (see pic). A functional card, when slotted into the motherboard, will have the LED flash 2-3 times as part of its own self-test, then stay off for as long as there is power going to the motherboard. The dead card's light is lit the moment it receives power from the motherboard (system off). Research points to a power distribution failure, which is out of my realm. I'd have to send it into a GPU repair service or buy a new card.

$1620.42. I would have paid roughly the same if I had opted for buying a new ASRock or GIGABYTE board and sourcing the CPUs and RAM myself. I probably could have paid cheaper if I lived in China, but oh well.
