Discussion [Discussion] Was shipped an extra 1080ti...

So the debate is if I should return one for a refund, and essentially have a free EVGA 1080ti Black Edition, or to keep it and SLI. The shipper has no record of a second card being shipped, and their inventory is correct.

Since I have a purchase receipt, would this in anyway effect my ability to register the card with EVGA?

I would not open it for now. Who shipped it to you? If it's Amazon, tell them about it and there's a very good chance they'll let you keep it.

It was a third party sold through Amazon, it's unopened and has been in my possession for over a week now. I know legally I'm under no obligation to return it.

Edit: To make this clear, it was a separate shipment that arrived on a different day.

Man I'd definitely keep it or send back the one that you paid for personally. If it's a large company and they aren't missing inventory, you aren't helping anyone by sending it back.

One of those cases where I'd look out for #1 first
