Q: Why does this particular card frequently show up an an open-box item, but not other Nvidia RTX 40 series cards? BTW, I asked this question before, but apparently Best Buy chose not to post it. Hmmm... 🤔

A: My guess would be size. The graphics card is humongous and not exactly easy to install. Make sure you have more than the 342mm length before considering this product. Remember you have to actually get it in the case and with many cases that is going require some extra space to manipulate the card and line it up. Be aware of the width of this card as well, if your case is the slightest bit narrow it's likely you won't have clearance for the power. As far the PSU answer that was given. I highly doubt that is a problem unless you got a cheap PSU or you are trying to max out the power. The card will accept up to +17% power, but even so, the FE version of this card only has a 750 Watt PSU requirement and it typically uses less power than the similarly rated 3080 from the previous gen. That being said, some intel processors are very power hungry so on an intel platform you may want to go with a 1000 watt supply.

Q: Does this block the second pcie slot when it is plugged into the first pcie slot of an ATX motherboard?

A: Hi Asker, Most recent motherboards will account for this and put a minimum gap of 3 slots. Note that most current generation graphics cards no longer support SLI/NVLink for gaming purposes. Hope this helps! - John

Q: Why is this the only Nvidia RTX 4080 card that sells as an open-box product?

A: Sorry I don't have an official answer for you, but I'll give you two possibilities. 1. Scalpers bought a lot of these cards and returned them when they saw that E-bay sales were weak. 2. Gigabyte and Best Buy have worked out a deal of some sort. 3. People return them frequently because case requirements for this GPU, it just doesn't fit a lot of cases.
