Do you understand why that foam is there?
It's not just for appearance. It's meant to safeguard the GPU during transport, preventing damage it might otherwise have suffered. The foam absorbed the shock effectively, as expected.
Check your GPU regularly for performance issues and ensure it operates smoothly.
I performed that task and on 1080 extreme settings, I received 13560... Now I'm uncertain if the score is accurate for this model!?
As I mentioned, I didn't receive the GPU and other parts immediately. In fact, I placed an order for a custom gaming setup at a nearby computer store, and they assembled all the components I selected... I actually got the entire system delivered together.
Check the remaining specifications. If your main processor isn't powerful enough, you might not achieve the same results as another setup with the same graphics card, but a quicker CPU.
Verify the card's serial number on the website for warranty service needs. If the warranty is still offered, worry not about whether it's new or refurbished—just confirm it functions as required. Also, note that the GPU might only be covered under the warranty of the custom PC manufacturer, so check if the PC has a serial number to ensure full coverage.
