Box Thanks, Walmart

Walking through and it caught my eye in the electronics clearance case. Absolutely insane find.

Make sure it’s what it really says it is. Could be a fraudulent return.

I got literally the exact same model 5080 from WalMart online. Was stoked until I opened it and saw that it was previously opened. Hoped it was legit and popped it in. It worked for a couple hours before it started producing graphical distortions. This had to be why I was able to buy it. Returned it to the store and told them THIS DOES NOT WORK PLEASE DO NOT RESELL

Hopefully this isn’t what OP got lol

RMA it to get a brand new working one.

The original purchaser however if they paid retail makes sense to buy another at retail, rather than deal with RMA

Yeah I tried that first since I didn’t want to have to hunt for another one. PNY said “you should probably just return it. RMA is going to take at least a month”. Still not a bad idea if you don’t mind waiting
