Hi all

I had a problem with my hard drive so I took it to my local PC repair shop. Getting that issue sorted but he did tell me that my graphics card is an engineering sample. Said it’s very rare these make it out of the factory and sometimes when they do, they can be sold on eBay. He said they can either be better performing than a retail model or they can have issues. He ran some tests and said it’s in good health, performing well and there’s no concerns.

I got my PC from a shop here in the UK which make custom PCs (well known and highly regarded).

I’m just wondering can anyone fill me in on engineering samples and should I be concerned enough to go back to shop about it. I got my PC in Jan 2022, at a time of high prices and shortages. I don’t know if it’s worth going back to them or if it’s really nothing to worry about as it’s in good health and performing well.

Thanks
