WTF?! Paying one-and-a-half thousand dollars for a graphics card is a big decision, but those concerns often vanish when you’re enjoying blistering framerates at high resolutions.

The strange story began a few days ago when Reddit user u/NuclearInnardsBeep posted a photo of what he claimed was inside the RTX 4090 box they ordered from Newegg: nothing but a couple of large metal blocks.
The poster also claimed that rather than responding, Newegg locked their account when they complained to the retailer, which sounds like the company assumed it was dealing with a scam.
