GPU in a Bag? Why not?

Needed a card for a little Linux box. Got one pretty cheap from Amazon. It came in a BAG. I had the return filled out before Amazon even showed it as delivered.

WTF is wrong with people!?

Amazon has a history with poor packaging, but people doesn't care anyway because they have "replacement no questions asked" policy that makes people coming back to them

Yet, I somehow get a book in a box large enough to fit 10 books...

idk, I'd still install it if nothing is damaged aside from the packaging. You've got pictures just in case it doesn't work

One of the many reason I have a hard time buying PC components/hardware online vs going to an actual store and holding it in your hands before you buy it. Just sucks cause I know not alot of places have stores that sell quality PC gear and online is the only option to get PC gear.

Those are both reasons that I try to always get my PC parts from my local Microcenter when I can. I can make sure it's not damaged at all, and I'm giving them business to help ensure I'll still have that option in the future.

Microcenter is amazing. I'm so glad I live close to one.

A 1650 Super and a pretty decent model to boot. In Europe these still cost around €250.

The only thing super it has is the name

Very true.

Well, it’s not a Tensorflow box, so I just needed some video out. No integrated graphics on a 3900X.

It's either one way or the other. I had a cricut cutting mat delivered, it was in a box at least twice the sixe needed and packed with air filled bags

bit of overkill
