Hi, I just bought a used video card from a friend (HIS Radeon Hd 7870 Ghz). He didn't have the original box it came in, but he put the card inside a cardboard box (which is kinda tight, required a little pulling to get it out). Is the card save from ESD in there? I also got it out of the box to inspect it -- I was standing on a plastic mat (the ones for office chairs to roll on) and handling the card on a wooden desk. I grounded myself by touching the bare metal of my power supply. I handled the card by the metal (where the DVI connectors are and whatnot) and the cooler. However, I could've sworn I had a hair strand brush up against the PCB as I was inspecting it.
Given all these factors, do you all think the card is fine?
