In the recent graphics card market, the price has risen, and the stock has been out of stock, and the price of A card has been reduced more, but there are always many people who don't like A card. Especially at a price of more than 1000, the N card is only 3050, and the performance of this card is really poor.
Recently, ZOTAC has launched a new RTX2060 Super, and ZOTAC's self-operated flagship store on JD.com is also on sale. If this is true, as long as the price is right, it can definitely make up for the embarrassing situation that there is no cost-effective graphics card around the N card 1500. The premise is that the card is brand new.
At present, this graphics card can be bought in Jingdong's self-operated and PDD, and the original price of self-operated is 1499, which has risen a lot recently, and PDD is 1407. As long as the price is new, the cost performance is higher than that of A card at the same price.
So the snail considered buying one to help everyone test the water, and recommended it if it was suitable.
Snail chose PDD, a merchant that looks very good, mainly in the comments below
Many people said that the inquiry was produced in March this year, which gave the snail a lot of confidence, you must know that even if this is a mining truck refurbished, it is also an official refurbishment, and this price is only 200 more expensive than the mining card, ZOTAC genuine three-year warranty, if it is true, this is Niu X. So the snail decisively placed an order for two (two cards are 1% cheaper).
This afternoon, I got one first, and the snail happily opened it and looked at it, and the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
First of all, take a look at the outer packaging of the graphics card
The outer packaging looks fine, the tamper-evident stickers are also there, it looks new, and it does look like a new card. But something is wrong when you look at the SN code.
You can take a look at the place where the snail is crossed, and the production date of the ZOTAC graphics card is easy to see, N2238 is 22 years and 38 weeks of production. Converted to the month, it is 22 years and 89 months, which is too different from the March 24 mentioned in the comments. So the snail found customer service and asked what was going on.
Everyone has also seen the chat log, the customer admitted that it was a 22-year card, but it was brand new, I didn't believe it, the customer service insisted that it was brand new, and finally applied for a refund.
After applying, the merchant gave me a phone call, which was equivalent to an explanation
He said that it is basically the same as customer service, that is, the card is a new 22-year card in stock, but the warranty is three years from the date of purchase. The snail asked him what was going on with his comments, and he explained that he was saying that people were commenting on blind comments. This... Anyway, in the end, he didn't convince me, and agreed to return, and I didn't embarrass him.
This purchase experience, first of all, I personally think it is a rollover. First of all RTX2060S this card is a high-risk card, and the probability of not being sold out in 24 years and 22 years of production is not high, not to mention 100%, 95% impossible. Secondly, there is more than one person in the comment who said that the card was in March this year, but I bought it in 22, and it is likely that there was a card in March 24 at the beginning, but there were very few. After selling out, it's me. The seller said that people are blindly commenting, I personally feel impossible, not in March, why would people comment like this? Finally, many of the cards that are claimed to be in stock for 22 years have long been exposed to be refurbished, and some people have been caught in the news, and the SN code of the card of the Shadow can also be found officially, but the warranty is not recognized.
So to sum it up, this time I can't rule out the slightest possibility that ZOTAC cleaned up the warehouse and suddenly found some 2060s that haven't been sold in 2 years, but it's really not high. But it's possible that ZOTAC really found some chips that weren't consumed, and made some new cards, which are the cards in March 24 mentioned in the comments, and Jingdong's self-operated may be this product, but it's definitely not much. The ones in the back like snails feel more likely to be renovated. The snail's suggestion is not recommended to buy, Lei has already helped everyone wade through, and the probability of refurbishment of the mining card is not low. So the price of 1500 or buy a card, or add money to 4060, there is no choice for the price of N card.
