Yall can’t be doing this to me

By


I just received my used 1080 i got of the used market, and the dude sent me it in a damn shoebox. I can't even get it into my pc. I WAITED 15 DAYS FOR THIS TO ARRIVE AND I CAN'T EVEN USE IT

You can't guess my next move.

    I think we all agree you owe the guy a couple bucks for the free shoebox. What kind of shoebox? Don’t hold back on details, you silly teaser.

    Just bend the tab back. It would have taken less time than taking a picture and making this post 🤦

    juste remove the metal plate if you can’t bend it back.

    Get some jaw locking pliers and bend the tab back

  6. smelly1sam

    Unscrew the plate and hammer it on a flat surface. I’ve had to do it a few times.

    I have fixed these plates plenty of times through my business for 1080’s and they are not hard to use pliers to bend it back. Using your picture you hold the video card on your left hand which you are doing now and use pliers on your right hand and bend it back. This is what I do on how to bend it back. Its not hard to do.

    You can also order the plate for it for dirt cheap on eBay. They run around 10-13 bucks.

    Since you bought it from the used market I do recommend you return it because who knows if it works. Plus you have a very tiny return window if you bought it from Mercari, offerup, and facebook marketplace. (48-72 hours).

    you could probobly bend it back. shity seller though for not properly packaging it.

    OP is afraid to bend an effectively useless metal plate back to an ideal state…

    Bend that shit back and send it. It’s a 1080 for crying out loud

    I had a 1080 Ti come in a similar condition. But instead of making a reddit post about it I realised that the damaged part is a piece of metal… and I realised I owned these amazing things called pliers, not sure if you’ve heard of them. So maybe just… idk… bend it into place? Or ask your dad since “These things were built different trust me when i say”

    Are you a moron? It takes ten seconds to fix that with a pair of pliers.

    Get your tools and fucking bend it back. Stop being useless.

    I’ve dealt with bent tabs like this before. With a sturdy pair of pliers, you can bend them back. It might take a little trial and error to get the tabs properly straight to where they slide in like they’re supposed to, but it’s doable.

    That said, the seller definitely should have packaged this better, and it really shouldn’t be up to you to fix their fuck up, so I can totally understand if you go for a refund.

    But if you’d rather just have the card with some minor damage to the bracket, find some pliers.

    Had this happen to me last year – I ended up returning it because there was damage to the PCB as well. If it’s just the plate, grab some pliers, wrap the tips in electrical tape, then get to bending. I recommend taking the plate off first – worst case scenario you can probably find a replacement on eBay.

    This wasn’t worth posting. By the time you did that, you could have already bent the tab back with a pair of pliers 😅

  20. runed_golem

    That plate is just made of sheet metal. Grab a pair of pliers and bend it back into place.

  21. TactualTransAm

    My Titan came like that, I took the plate off and bent it back

    >You can’t guess my next move.

    Was it “quit whining about the least important part of the card and fix it yourself”?

  24. ye3tr

    Remove it and hammer it. You have to embrace the jank if you’re budget balling

  26. zanypeppers

    So dramatic. Undo the screws. Pull the plate off. Bend it back. Screw it back on.

  27. InteractionPerfect88

    Not an expert, but it seems like you could just Bend the tab back into place.

  28. Rulanik

    Just bend it back and be glad this is all that was wrong. Those pieces are even replaceable.

  29. LoudOpportunity4172

    That tab isn’t important to its functionality just bend it back and if it breaks off who cares it’ll still work anyway. Also a 1080 in 2025?

  31. ImSmellyjimbobThe3rd

    Ahh shit nan. That cannot be fixed at all. Dont even try. Dm me and ill take it off your hands and dispose of it immediately.

  32. HankG93

    Thats like, the easiest part of the entire card to repair….

  33. Silent_Chemistry8576

    It can be saved bend it back, if it still doesn’t work get that money back.

  35. aNINETIEZkid

    if it’s through ebay get a partial refund and straighten it out yourself
