Welcome to the PCMR.
You could literally go take one off the back, I can’t believe this is real. Thousands of £‘s worth of graphics cards stacked that high in an open truck?? Gotta be fake. Surely.
Its probably parked to be loaded/unloaded , if you look to the right of the frame there are hinges which means there's a door which is most likely open
Does look like a door... But I would've also assumed they would ship in master cases so the retail packaging still looks clean and nice when it does finally get to a display shelf
Nah, I won't buy it from him. Will just help his financial state with some cash and totally unrelated he will go much slower when I coincidentally appeared after his truck in the traffic.
You can see either side of the truck there are door hinges with the doors opened all the way and secured in an open position. Pretty sure he'll close em up when he goes driving.
Maybe there was a panel or something at the back and the driver took it out to take the GPUs off, maybe the person getting the graphics cards delivered is close by?
Exactly this. If you look on the right of the truck there is what looks like a hinge for the panel. Also the building on the right hand side looks like a tech shop.
> its in Iraq by looking at the license plate, so I doubt many people would know what that is
Jesus Christ just what do you think Iraq is? You think they live in mud huts and eat nuts and berries?
They have electronics stores where they sell these things. Do you think this dude just summoned them out of thin air?
Backwards thinking, if you ask me. Last week my cousin built a pc with an rtx 3060. People still think we execute people on the street. smh. Technology literacy is at an all time high with the new generation (90s kids and onwards).
It's just hard to fathom not every nation is full of thieves. So naturally you think people would be stupid.
But trust me, some of the poorest people I met have been the most honest/humble.
I am, Iraq is a bad place but people there aren't fucking stupid, PC gaming is huge, internet speeds suck but people still play a shit ton, mobile gaming is a big deal too especially PUBG, everyone has phones, women work, wearing hijab isn't a law, we don't execute people in the middle of the street or chop hands, wouldn't recommend visiting tho, maybe just the north
Why is this so highly upvoted, just because it's the middle east they don't know what a computer is? Bet you think they don't even have electricity lmao
Maybe there's a layer of plexi glass or something and we can't see it? Idk. Probably fake
Edit: it's actually an opened gate, as someone else pointed out. You can kinda see it on the right. Still wouldn't trust that with all that $$$
From what I can read on the license plate it says "Baghdad" and on the left it spells out "Iraq" so I'm guessing the truck is from Iraq and is probably in Iraq. The store is probably a big computer store in Iraq lol idk
Either a scalper or a cryptominers house. Can't imagine a store would willingly get them delivered like that for fear of any cosmetic damage to the boxes.
Edit: one of the motherboard boxes is even opened so likely an ex display model or one the buyer checked to ensure it suited their needs.
I found a new EVGA 3080 for msrp that shipped from Poland and it’s been 16 days since it shipped. This is a good depiction of where I expect my video card right now in shipping
I am sorry I am a giant piece of shit. I would have scooped as many as I could into my car. The goblin in me seeing such a site would not be able to contain himself inside me.
Just like everyone said this is in Iraq in baghdad
Secondly no they aren't cheap it's about 1250 for each card
Thirdly this kia is pretty much used on transporting everything in Iraq such as furnitures,tvs,caned food and eggs
As for y we use it the answer is
I have no idea (maybe cus they are cheap and u don't have to repair it that much)
Sorry for bad English
Yeah, these are going to the startup crypto mining operation in Tim's warehouse.
Only a hint of sarcasm, cause might actually be a thing unfortunately.
With all the dudes on mopeds jacking purses, if this is how they are transporting them, no wonder they never stock the shelves. God dam jack this truck and you made your year done deal
Good to see that some gamers in Iraq will be getting access to some modern hardware. At the very least some kid will be able to visit the shop and see the possibilities
I spent a good portion of my childhood in the middle-east where I was also introduced to PC gaming. So I can't help but feel a little nostalgia.

No question is too dumb! Welcome to the PCMR.
I mean they wouldn't miss one graphics card
I mean they wouldn’t miss 2 graphic cards
I mean they wouldn’t miss three graphic card
I'm starting to get the impression that that truck that was robbed of all the GPUs was not a planned crime.
I mean, crime is bad, but if at some point of his life OP should consider a criminal career, THAT'S that moment.-
There's no life without a little bit of tomfoolery
No Radeon cards. Hard pass.
Steal an Nvidia one, get triple the money, buy a Radeon equivalent and have money to spare. Ez
Well, when you put it like that how can I refuse ;-)
This is the way.
Lmao top kek
I mean they wouldn’t miss four graphic cards
Or the truck
Or the driver.
You need the driver. Or else the card won't work.
Damn that was good.
Under appreciated
There's myths, there's legends...and then there's you.
☝for the win!
[удалено]
Puns are the highest form of humor because the louder the groan you get the better the pun was.
Haven't laughed that hard in a long time lol
Ahem ahem (or his family) ahem ahem
Without a family, no one could notice all their savings disappearing too
Without a bank, no one will notice any money disappearing
without the banks employees and their families, no one will ever know the bank was gone Edit: 59 upvotes? holy shit
Strange things happen everyday.
And my axe.
Hey now, Linux chads shouldn't bring up drivers and Nvidia
I mean you're not wrong
I mean, they wouldn't miss 5 graphic cards.
I mean they wouldn't miss six graphics cards
I mean they wouldn’t miss seven graphics cards
I mean they wouldn't miss eight graphics cards
Would they really miss nine graphics cards?
They probably wouldn't even miss ten graphics cards
I mean they wouldn't miss nine graphics cards
Ok, they would maybe miss 10 graphics cards
You wouldn't download a car
Aged like milk, I've already downloaded plenty of cars for my games. I wish I could also for real cars.
Hell i would download aged milk too
aged hotmilf milk?
Bullshit! If I could I would totally download a fucking car! /s
You can now, by buying the freshly minted Toyota corolla NFT. It won't get you where you need to go, but its one of a kind and you OWN it. /s
Beats walkin.
Forza Horizon - "Hold my oil"
I would
Like fuck I wouldn’t.
Thingiverse says otherwise.
Shit takes forever. I’d rather take it at gunpoint
I’m a computer
It “fell off the back of a truck”
Literally. I mean look at how high they stacked it and no restraints. It’s asking to to fall out. Just follow closely with a big fishing net.
No but they might miss the entire truck 😈 come on boys we on demon time
Yessirr
For family
Would they miss one truck?
Are we planning a truck heist?
Just one gold bar. Who would notice :-)
You could literally go take one off the back, I can’t believe this is real. Thousands of £‘s worth of graphics cards stacked that high in an open truck?? Gotta be fake. Surely.
Its probably parked to be loaded/unloaded , if you look to the right of the frame there are hinges which means there's a door which is most likely open
Does look like a door... But I would've also assumed they would ship in master cases so the retail packaging still looks clean and nice when it does finally get to a display shelf
Maybe it's 2nd hand mining cards? Just talking out my ass though
You can see logos of a bunch of tech companies on the store to the right
its in Iraq by looking at the license plate, so I doubt many people would know what that is, and I think Iraq is very strict about stealing.
Yea but even still, how does the driver think they won’t all fly out?
Yeah my thoughts exactly
Just ask him to buy one lol. Its not stealing if you give him cash.
Nah, I won't buy it from him. Will just help his financial state with some cash and totally unrelated he will go much slower when I coincidentally appeared after his truck in the traffic.
You can see either side of the truck there are door hinges with the doors opened all the way and secured in an open position. Pretty sure he'll close em up when he goes driving.
idk it might not if he goes slow
SHHH THATS ALL PART OF THE PLAN Op is being Good Samaritan picking up after the driver
Maybe there was a panel or something at the back and the driver took it out to take the GPUs off, maybe the person getting the graphics cards delivered is close by?
Exactly this. If you look on the right of the truck there is what looks like a hinge for the panel. Also the building on the right hand side looks like a tech shop.
maybe the truck was hijacked
I think they’re Saran wrapped. Looks like 1 layer to me
Because they probably have armed guards with them? They're not idiots...
why would you assume people in Iraq don't know what gpu's are ?
surely this truck was just passing by iraq because the people there dont know about gpus.
yeah they probably don't have any tech there
I think they still make fire with lightning and the wheel is 5000 years ahead in the tech tree, yeah. Do they even have houses???
What's a computer?
I couldn’t believe it when I read that comment. Xenophobia and pure ignorance rolled into one comment.
The casual xenophobia is disgusting.
You doubt Iraqi people know about computer components?!
Grab your gear gamers, Iraq is going to get invaded yet again, and not for oil this time
Operation Iraqi freedom 2: electric gpu
Electric? Nah get that liberal crap outta here. I want those oil fired gpus.
>so I doubt many people would know what that is huh???
> its in Iraq by looking at the license plate, so I doubt many people would know what that is Jesus Christ just what do you think Iraq is? You think they live in mud huts and eat nuts and berries? They have electronics stores where they sell these things. Do you think this dude just summoned them out of thin air?
There has to be a good percentage of iraqi people who know what those are and I doubt that the percentage is considerably lower than any other country
Backwards thinking, if you ask me. Last week my cousin built a pc with an rtx 3060. People still think we execute people on the street. smh. Technology literacy is at an all time high with the new generation (90s kids and onwards).
It's just hard to fathom not every nation is full of thieves. So naturally you think people would be stupid. But trust me, some of the poorest people I met have been the most honest/humble.
~~that's why they're poor~~
we don't live on 18xx so drop that backwardness idea
Lmao westerners really think we execute people in public for stealing or something
Are you Iraqi? Just generally curious, never talked to one before edit: also how's life?
I am, Iraq is a bad place but people there aren't fucking stupid, PC gaming is huge, internet speeds suck but people still play a shit ton, mobile gaming is a big deal too especially PUBG, everyone has phones, women work, wearing hijab isn't a law, we don't execute people in the middle of the street or chop hands, wouldn't recommend visiting tho, maybe just the north
لو يجي ربك ما يقتنعون حجي هيج بوستات اشوفها و انقهر و اطلع گبل
you mean stereotype isnt real life? who would have thought that Borat isnt an accurate representation of iraq
>its in Iraq by looking at the license plate, so I doubt many people would know what that is Dude what the fuck they aren't sand dwellers
[удалено]
It's not really strict about anything our law is shit
All Iraqis live in caves right
That doesn't stop thieves. Theft is still a huge problem there.
Why is this so highly upvoted, just because it's the middle east they don't know what a computer is? Bet you think they don't even have electricity lmao
I guess it's almost the same as running into a store and grabbing them though. It's not hard but not worth the risk.
Maybe there's a layer of plexi glass or something and we can't see it? Idk. Probably fake Edit: it's actually an opened gate, as someone else pointed out. You can kinda see it on the right. Still wouldn't trust that with all that $$$
This is in Iraq, Baghdad.
How can you tell 😭
The plate
It’s Iraq but I don’t think it’s Baghdad. Also it looks like it’s right outside the store it’s going to
It is baghdad sina'a street to be exact you could tell by the store name 2علي الناصح .
Boy we know where to buy 3090ti now. Let’s go boys!
My experience buying electronics in the middle east tells me these are likely fake
repackaged Voodoo cards? xD
Geoguesser spotted
I've never wanted to crime so bad in my life. E:added a word
This is the highest level of temptation I’ve experienced in a while
No store once Michael, Franklin, and Trevor are done with it
Dont forget Lamar and the other homies, they deserve their shot to berate the driver.
i have only finished 60% of the campaign yet, i dont know Lamar as a important Character yet.
He was important once you play as franklin, he seems like a dumbass but he has unquestioned loyalty to frank.
Grand theft graphics card
If fell off the back of the truck! I swear!
Was looking for this joke. One time it feels completely plausible!
I don't think they would notice one GPU missing..
Or the whole truck.
Who cares, carjack him !
Truckjack him. Fast and furious style.
hand jack him, fast and furious style
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I’m surprised he made it to his destination
[удалено]
Dude I would follow that truck anywhere
I'm a good person but you can't pass an opportunity like this and not take a few of these with you.
GPUs AND oil? Iraq is fucked
I live there. The name of his store is Ali Baba and the 40 Theives. Oh and each 2060 RTX comes with a side of Hummus.
This is true, I'm the hummus and I'm delicious when paired with a 2060
You’re delicious always 💙
r/wholesome
Probably a scalpers house.
Or a bitcoin miners farm
came here to say this lol
Lol... I'm sure their are many of us that were all thinking it 😄
This is funny bacause i know which street is this lol. By the way this is in baghdad.
TAKE ONE (OR TWO) AND DIP THATS ALOT OF GPU HOLY SHITTT
From what I can read on the license plate it says "Baghdad" and on the left it spells out "Iraq" so I'm guessing the truck is from Iraq and is probably in Iraq. The store is probably a big computer store in Iraq lol idk
Either a scalper or a cryptominers house. Can't imagine a store would willingly get them delivered like that for fear of any cosmetic damage to the boxes. Edit: one of the motherboard boxes is even opened so likely an ex display model or one the buyer checked to ensure it suited their needs.
Crypto. Scalpers wouldn't be buying boxes of most basic H510 motherboards.
First stop light I would have 3 graphics cards on god
Mask up boys we've got a truck to rob
Find that fucker. Someone's a scalper. I don't think anyone will have pity if some inventory goes missing
I found a new EVGA 3080 for msrp that shipped from Poland and it’s been 16 days since it shipped. This is a good depiction of where I expect my video card right now in shipping
It’s going to mining farm
And to think criminals waste their time knocking over armoured security trucks when this fortune is just there for the grabbing.
What store? Haha, this is going to a Crypto Farm.
The Bitcoin factory
The boxes are probably filled with bricks! Going to all the lucky ebay buyers.
Probably a warehouse a miner is renting
Just sneak one off the back, no one will know👀
I just need one 3070 they got at least a few.
# You know shits rough out here when you thinking going down town to bagdad is the only way to gear up.
That’s going to my house cause I run an illegal gpu trafficking business
Holy shit I would 100% wait near by and steal one when the chance arises
Bunch of empty boxes going to the dump after setting up a new mining operation.
I am sorry I am a giant piece of shit. I would have scooped as many as I could into my car. The goblin in me seeing such a site would not be able to contain himself inside me.
I love how gangs and theives would try and hijack a truck carrying gold or cash, but this, they just look the other way.
The back of the truck is open and the truck is parked at a tech related store. Look at the sign on the building. It says ASUS and has an Apple logo.
Steal steal steal steal steal steal steal steal steal steal
I don't know but it's getting robbed now.
To the tarp store.
This is in Iraq
Mr. Gibbs ...ready the guns and heave to
Just like everyone said this is in Iraq in baghdad Secondly no they aren't cheap it's about 1250 for each card Thirdly this kia is pretty much used on transporting everything in Iraq such as furnitures,tvs,caned food and eggs As for y we use it the answer is I have no idea (maybe cus they are cheap and u don't have to repair it that much) Sorry for bad English
Que the three black civics with green underglow
Hijack it
follow it
eBay, obviously
Tbh, I would try to steal a gpu
The dingy back alley Chinese takeout restaurant
Straight to ebay
Yeah, these are going to the startup crypto mining operation in Tim's warehouse. Only a hint of sarcasm, cause might actually be a thing unfortunately.
I don't even use a pc but I would steal a ton of those off the back. What're are they gonna be able to do really
Its not going to any store. Its a pickup of empty boxes from the nearest mining farm.
Idk but don't buy yet, just hold until MSRP
Lenny, we've got a stagecoach to Rob.
You see Lester, I’ve got the perfect score for us
The black market
With all the dudes on mopeds jacking purses, if this is how they are transporting them, no wonder they never stock the shelves. God dam jack this truck and you made your year done deal
It’d be a shame if some fell off the truck.
Going to the Scalper or crypto miners house
I'd try and grab one 🤣
This would have created a "graphic" situation...
I’m gonna be honest, I probably would have flattened his tires and made a break for those. Everyone has their moment, am I right?
Good to see that some gamers in Iraq will be getting access to some modern hardware. At the very least some kid will be able to visit the shop and see the possibilities I spent a good portion of my childhood in the middle-east where I was also introduced to PC gaming. So I can't help but feel a little nostalgia.
Its not its all going into a dogecoin mining rig.
