Hello,I was looking for a graphics card to buy when I saw a Stockhouse section on my local computer parts store website,
they have a Gigabyte GTX 980 ti
when I went there the owner of the shop showed me the card and there was no box at all,just plain card in its ''machine sealed'' antistatic bag (not the classic folded bag and sticker style) he told me that the card had some issues(didnt work) so was sent for RMA and that this is a ''new'' card sent back to him without the original box.He couldnt sell it as new thus it ended in stockhouse
the shop owner provides 3 years of warranty(like any other new card)
I have no experience with RMA/Refurbishes/Open boxes etc
1.Is it possible for gigabyte to send a NEW card with RMA or they just repair the same?
2.If new,does it come in a machine sealed antistatic bag/classic folded bag with seal sticker or is this some kind of scam?
ty in advance for your help
