The only reason I bought my 1080ti was for virtual reality. That's the only reason I'd onsider upgrading, especially if an improved VR headset came out. Unfortunately, I imagine that the price of graphics cards is deterring many people from adopting VR.

It's B-grade so we will see....
Ocuk B grades are normally very good. As long as it works as it should i wouldn't complain what with current pricing.
I paid £150 for a B-Grade R9 290 from OCUK 3 years ago and it was still going strong, until I replaced it with a 1080ti a few months ago.
I wouldn't worry about it being B-Grade - any faults graphics cards tend to be obvious soon after you install them, so the 90 day warranty should be fine. And it's OCUK too.
Just out of interest, what was the price you paid for the B-Grade 1080ti?

What's a 290 like compared to a 7970?
I'm not sure as I've never had a 7970.

A very reasonable £689 (these days) with free delivery + DPD in my area deliver on Saturdays for no additional charge.. should the card be 100% my plan is to pop my MSI 1080 on the bay, I'm hoping that the upgrade won't cost me anything after its sold.

I had a 7950 and went to a 290. The 290 was a good upgrade in that instance.
In the current climate that is a great deal!
Based on my experience, you will get some great use out of the B-Grade card.

I hope so. Looking at the info gibbo has given about pricing of these cards and only making 8% mark up on them with a sales price of £750 it seems that £689 is the actual buying price of the card.

It might be the one I sent back to them, nothing wrong with it if so. I need triple screen Gsync and the Strix won't support it.

Did you take the cooler off as the sticker has been punctured on it?
Ran a couple of benches on it on loop and it's rock solid. Happy days going to hold on to the 1080 for a little while before selling it just incase.
And it's not a reference cooler one - even better!
