A user bought an RTX 4090 graphics card and received metal blocks

This is not the first time that users order goods online and receive something completely different from what they wanted to buy at home. As for graphics cards, for example, in July, a Brazilian user bought a GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, which at the time was the best in the Nvidia line, but got the tray home.

More recently, another user bought the most powerful video card from the North American company GeForce RTX 4090 at the moment, but when he opened the order, he realized that there were only a few metal blocks inside the box.

Bought an RTX 4090 and got metal blocks

The new GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card is Nvidia's current top model. Its price is around 2000 euros, but it could be much higher, given that GPUs are already sold out in some countries, but speculators already tried to resell the goods at exorbitant prices.

Now imagine what it was like to pay a cost of that size for a unit of this print shop, and get everything but the equipment. This is exactly what happened to a US user who decided to buy a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 from the popular North American store Newegg. However, at the time of opening the box, not only did you not find any video card, but only a few metal blocks remained in the box.

wounded general his story on Reddit and also shared a photo of what he found in the box. The post quickly went viral with over 66,500 votes and over 3,600 comments in just 2 days. In the same comments, there are those who give words of support to the user, but there are also those who criticize and even ridicule what happened. In addition, as in the case of sand, there are those who do not believe that this episode actually took place.

And, as if that weren't enough, the user still claims that Newegg had his account suspended before even responding to his email complaints.
