Receive Asus GeForce GTX 460 Direct CU TOP 768MB on 2010 Sep 20. Upon open packaging found card was not in a anti static bag. Contact supplier told "that this range is not supplied in anti static bags and the polystyrene/plastic packaging is in fact anti static" ; apperantly he check another card to confirm. I find this very strange , could this be confirmed plz?? ; the plastic/polystyrene black packing around the grahpics card. Or have I been sent a used or return graphics card ; from youtube video's and review's of this model all come in anti static bags, but they could have changed?
Hi Generally most pc components do arrive in anti static bags, includling hard drivers, graphics cards etc. I have come across a few graphics cards definatly the cheap ass cards that cost like £15 always just in a box with a driver cd no anti static bag. But normally expensive hardware almost always comes in an antistatic bag with a seal (sticker) that you must break to open it. I've never come across expensive hardware that isn't in anti static bag unless it's been used or is an RMA. Sounds abit dodgy to me. I would look into it. but what can u expect from Asus they are gash, everything i've had asus has just failed. I stay well clear and by sounds of it there customer service just fobbing you off.
I should been more specfic in my orginal question it came in polystyrene internal packaging ;only identical to the following youtube video (althrought this is not my upload) : Were all other reviews / video's of any Asus grahics cards come in anti static bags :
