I changed the WiFi module in my gigabyte WiFi card, the old module (left) says "for evaluation only", I bought it retail.

I wonder if that makes it collectible?
So? What’s your evaluation? /s
It’s just a review version. Given to YouTubers or companies to do test fits. These would usually be put in laptop. Hence the size.
It’s only one piece of anecdata, but I had a terrible experience trying to get a gigabyte pcie wifi adapter to work in a contemporary gigabyte motherboard. I tend to buy Asus now. Not sure it’s an upgrade across the board, but their products mostly just work.
God Gigabyte is going downhill fast.
Did an American CEO take over the company or something?
Engineering sample. Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s junk, could be 100% the same as the official retail product, those are just given to manufacturers as samples to do things like validation testing.
