    I have not used my graphics card yet. It's an ASUS Matrix 5870 I received in the

    mail today. It looks bent and I'm kind of worried because I might build my

    computer tomorrow. Should I be worried about this?

    Yeah, you posted in the wrong website too. Please continue discussion over at DTR.

    After you return that card and buy a new one. Never *never* RMA something that is brand new and has a very serious defect like this.
