Aorus RTX 5090 package from Amazon was allegedly filled with macaroni, rice, and an old obsolete GPU — it's an impasta!

Another RTX 5090 switcheroo - pasta joke.

An Amazon customer has taken to Reddit to complain that their package was missing the Aorus Master GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card advertised online and described on the box. Instead, claims Netherlands-based Redditor Ok-Atmosphere7655, the attractively crafted Aorus carton concealed bags of rice and pasta, along with a “random dusty old GPU.” On the surface, this is a very sad tale, with the Redditor informing readers that they had saved up since last year for a precious RTX 5090. However, we understand it is also difficult for retailers who have to be careful to check such claims are genuine.
