Gigbabyte 7950 sealed?

It looks like that Gigabyte cards are coming with out any seals, would be interesting to know the reason though. I am sure we got Gigabyte rep on these forums.
 
I meant no selphane around outer box and no seal on box itself and also no anti-tamper seal on the anti static bag as well.

Cards have warranties so don't worry. If it has visual damage return it.

If I was running a retail business open box DSRs that have nothing wrong with them would go into pre-built systems. :) (I have no idea if OC would do this)

And yes my windforce 670 had no seals and it was ordered on release day.
 
I dont think i have ever had a graphics card or motherboard come sealed in cellophane in all the years ive been buying them :)
 
Anyone knows how is it with MSI cards these days?

My 6950 had a few stickers and a clear film on parts of the cooler...
 
My gigabyte 670 WF had no cellophane wrap, no end circular stickers things on the box, and the anti static bag had a strip of normal Sellotape. I'm returning this card under DSR (see my tother thread). It's not ocuk by the way so I won't name the seller, but the form i completed had to state whether the packaging had been 'opened'. How would they know given the total lack of sealing? Makes me think this card was a return, though seems to be the norm looking at replies above. Odd I think.

On the other hand the Evga 670 ftw I got yesterday, from a different supplier again, was cellophane wrapped and had stickers on the ends of the box, and a fancy static bag seal. Make of that what you will...
 
As i said earlier a clarification would be really appreciated from OCUK for peace of mind for their customer's.
