We’ve seen our fair share of GPU scams around here, with unlucky buyers receiving all sorts of fascinating oddities like data-analytics-id=”inline-link” href=”https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/aorus-rtx-5090-package-from-amazon-was-allegedly-filled-with-macaroni-rice-and-an-old-obsolete-gpu-its-an-impasta” data-mrf-recirculation=”inline-link” data-before-rewrite-localise=”https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/aorus-rtx-5090-package-from-amazon-was-allegedly-filled-with-macaroni-rice-and-an-old-obsolete-gpu-its-an-impasta”>rice and macaroni, or even a data-analytics-id=”inline-link” href=”https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/amazon-sends-a-literal-brick-to-a-customer-in-lieu-of-the-rtx-5080-they-ordered-the-latest-cautionary-tale-in-the-line-of-commingling-inventory-scams” data-mrf-recirculation=”inline-link” data-before-rewrite-localise=”https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/amazon-sends-a-literal-brick-to-a-customer-in-lieu-of-the-rtx-5080-they-ordered-the-latest-cautionary-tale-in-the-line-of-commingling-inventory-scams”> literal brick in lieu of the card they actually ordered.
