A player receives a free graphics card. The reason he received a GPU is very serious, as his friend has a problem with alcohol.
A player reports that he has received a new upgrade for his gaming PC. He was able to replace his old RTX 2060 with an RTX 3070, and it was free of charge.
He himself explained that a friend of his ordered a new graphics card while intoxicated but couldn’t remember anything. He writes on Reddit:
He certainly had no memory of it. Until he received a notification that a package had arrived at a pickup location. He checked his mail and saw an order confirmation. The date and time matched a time when he had been drunk. His comment was: “Those must have been some damn good mojitos I drank.”
This sounds funny at first, and there are plenty of memes about people receiving packages they can’t remember ordering. But in reality, this is a serious matter that should not be underestimated.
Because large amounts of alcohol can harm your health. And such a “blackout” is the result of consuming a lot of alcohol.
The RTX 3070 represents a strong upgrade for the gaming PC
How good is the upgrade for the player? Depending on which benchmarks and comparison data you look at, the RTX 3070 is between 25 and 40% faster than the RTX 2060. The significantly better ray tracing performance is also worth mentioning. The RTX 3070 was long considered the best graphics card under 500 euros.
The RTX 3070 also provides a slight upgrade in video memory: The RTX 2060 offered only 6 GB, while the RTX 3070 offers 8 GB of VRAM. A too-small video memory can also be a reason why your graphics card is slower than it should be.
We can only speculate about how much his buddy spent on the RX 7900 XT since we do not know the prices in the USA. In Germany, you pay between 700 and 750 euros for AMD’s currently fastest graphics card (via geizhals.de).
Heavy alcohol consumption can be very dangerous in the long run and can lead to addiction
What exactly happened to the user? If memory is absent after a night of heavy drinking, it is referred to as a blackout or gap in memory. Just recently, the German Tagesschau reported that alcohol is harmful to health even in small amounts. In addition to harming your nervous system, alcohol not only damages your brain and nerve cells but also your liver and other organs.
The risk of a blackout increases when consuming a large amount of alcohol in a short time. This is because alcohol is only metabolized very slowly in the blood. At 1.5 ‰ blood alcohol content, the likelihood of a blackout is even higher.
More gifted graphics cards: The RTX 3060 was long among the most popular graphics cards that gamers could install in their systems. One gamer is now very lucky and received an RTX 3060 from his employer as a gift. Because the employer wanted to throw it away: Player receives Nvidia graphics card for free because his clueless bosses wanted to throw it away
