Basically it means the warranty is a bit lacking.

Some people have had no problems with b-grade products, others have....it's up to you if you want to take the risk.
 
no, it just means someone sent it back, for whatever reason

you'll probably just get the bare card and no boxes etc
 
B grade basicly means its 2nd hand. someone had and used the product then sent it back for whatever reason...

nothing to do with overclocking or temps.

u just won't get the normal warranty with ocuk..

Yeah probably a returner as said, and chances are will have stuff missing, like the odd cable etc...., id still buy it though, cracking price that, and the warranty on B-Grade is 14 days with OcUK, then if it goes faulty after that, you just get Gigabyte to sort it out. :)
 
It may well be a poor overclocker which is why it was sent back. It may well be a Nvidia fanboy who thought they would try it and then sent it back under the distance selling rules. It could be for a number of reasons.

Don't forget though that you can also send it back if your not happy with it.

Warranty after 14 days is with the manufacturer.
 
Less likely to be a customer return (distance selling act) if it's 10+ cards in stock I think. If the item doesn't say RETAIL it'll probably be the card only without the original box.
 
Why on earth is there 10+ of them ?
Dodgy/mispacked batch?
Or has everyone and their dogs sent these back?

Im actually semi tempted to go X-Fire ><

A dodgy HIS and a Sapphire has put me off the stock coolers tho :(

Yeah good spot, 10+ id just say is probs stuff missing, not the retail box etc.... in that case.
 
Didn't see that there was 10+. Same with some mobos as well that they have 10+.

I'm guessing they are not returns but just plain boxes with the card. I once bought a mobo like that with 10+ stock and that was all I got. How or why these come about I don't know as they can't be returns.

Perhaps they are free samples from the manufacturers? Who knows.
 
Well my question is this...with this setup run Warhead and Farcry 2? :p

6300 @ 2.8ghz
8800GTS 512mb
4GB ram
Vista

Becuase if not then Ill upgrade now :p

I played Crysis at 1440x900 on high sooo...
 
depends what res u play at and what settings u want?

ok u've edited your post.. tbh u should be ok with that setup. crysis and warhead are about same . in fact warhead runs alittle smoother.

so if crysis runs fine on your setup, warhead will too.

These were up the other day. I ordered one, they did not dispatch it the next day yet DID take my money from my account. Waited for me to contact them at which point they told me they were out of stock, yet when I ordered it said 10+ in stock. So then I said fine whatever, and they refunded me and I'm still waiting for the money to hit my acct.

Had fantastic service from ocuk in the past but this last one was just ridiculous.

When I saw they were back up this morning I almost called them up to say place the order again...but figured I would rather just wait til I can score a 1gb model for cheap.
