Over $ 90,000 GPU with the RTX 5090 value has been replaced by crossbody backpacks in one of them Micro Center in one silicon valley

What began as another player who did not find his recent graphics card and replaced in a random piece of garbage, turned into a potentially large headache for Zotac and violated Chinese factory shipping Nie-RTX 5090s from the front door.

At the end of last week one Redditor wrote about his bad luck in the sale of a recent one Zotac RTX 5090 Solid Card From the recent Micro Center store in Santa Clara, just to get home about four hours later to discover that their dream graphic processor was in fact: “3 backpacks crossbody in the middle, not my 5090”.

The inevitable regret that he did not open the box in the store or at least capturing the unpacking on the video, was washed off the next day when they returned to the store where the staff actually saw their post Reddit and found 31 other backpacks in the ZOTAC RTX 5090 packaging.

Videocardz continued the Micro Center And he was told that although they followed him back to their supplier, they believed that the data from Zotac was “violated in the factory Zotac China before they even sent to the USA.”

This immediately makes it a much more disturbing story than just one user who sent a brick in a GPU box. The fact that a single store has discovered 32 lack RTX 5090s does not make me think it is an isolated incident, being only a problem with one delivery for one store.

I was in this factory Zotac China in Shenzhen and this is a immense object. I would not be surprised when the next month I would hear about the more lost graphic processor ZOTAC – quite more than only 32 cards would be replaced in a US -related shipment, if it really was a problem at the source.

This would mean that potentially much more than USD 92,800 lacks NVIDIA graphics cards in retail boxes, and I almost hear the sounds of cutting boxes crashing into the GPU Zotac packaging throughout the country in search of them in a warehouse.

I got to Zotac to get a comment and update the assessment of the scale of the problem if we hear.

And if you are receiving the ZOTAC card in the near future, I recommend opening it in a store or taking a movie about opening a box to be protected. Not all retail stores will be as favorable as this time it seemed that the Micro Center staff were.
