Today I purchased a gtx 980 strix. But. It doesn’t have a box and I don’t have an anti static bag. How do I keep it safe? Thanks!

Put it in a shoe box and fill it with packing peanuts if you have them of paper bags

it should, but fill it up with something if the card is too small

Okay. Would I be able to fill it up with newspaper?
