So, I got this card a while ago. It has a rather high serial number but it is labelled as a 'Test Sample'.
Can anyone explain to me what exactly that means?
PS: Sorry for the reflections, I have suboptimal lighting for photography in my storage cellar. 😅

Have you ever encountered something similar or do you have any reference?
I've worked in different computer stores back in the days, and this is to prevent mixups of customers hardware with the technical teams hardware.

this definitely is not an original/Hercules sticker but a label from the company that originally owned the card, as Aebtdom said
here is mine for compare 😉
Alright! Thanks, guys!👍
