    I keep them for when I inevitably have to move to a new apartment.I don’t like driving very far with my GPU still in the motherboard. I’d very much rather have it cozily packed away in it’s shipping box.

          Well, what if you current GPU suddenly died? You’d need another one to keep using your computer! Imagine not being able to use your computer while you wait for your new GPU to arrive. That’s why it’s a good idea to keep them all in their boxes. And it’s an even better idea to keep multiple backup GPUs around because the backup might die, too uwu
