Great, I always imagine the worst when I buy b-grade stuff. How are you finding it in games?

I ran a couple of benchmarks last night but didn't have time to jump in to any games, however I left unigine engine running on loop for half an hour or so and it didn't skip a beat. As a comparison my Timespy DX12 score jumped from 8038 (with a 1080) to 9757 on the ti, I still have to dial in my processor further and will probably give that a go tonight.

On the plus side of all this price nonsense my 980 Ti looks better value than ever. The £550 I paid will still only buy the same performance 2 years later!

You can always get some sort of an idea when new cards are due a few deals start popping up , keep a look out if you are after a 1080ti they will go very quickly.

Ryzen is an entire new architecture. IMO it hasn't fallen off a cliff from the AMD side. GPU advancement however...

Agree, 23rd July 2015 I bought my 980Ti for £539.99 from Ocuk, easily the most I have ever paid for a graphics card and sadly probably the last. Still a great card and will have to do me a while longer, in fact if current pricing stays the same then I cant see how I can justify the expense of a suitable upgrade.

q-code 68 with my 5960x and rampage V extreme. I bought a b-grade replacement MB (they had no new ones) from OCUK. The motherboard I got from overclockers was literally just the mother board, no sli bridges, no standoffs, no motherboard screws, no manual, no original box, no HD cables, no 3.1usb module (paid £50 more for this version) in fact nothing but the motherboard, the wifi antenna was even missing (£300)! So I cant really sell my old one now (even though it turns out to be a broken CPU) as it has become a donor for the new one and I could never try to sell one like that. Could not of used it if I didn't have the old board. So you have been warned, I will never buy b-grade stuff from here again!!!!

I've been looking around at prices for the last couple of weeks, and TBH ocuk's pricing is seeming a bit of a joke.
£600 for a b grade 980ti? £500 for a b grade oculus? Theyre only 399 on the oculus site brand new!
It looks like everywhere else prices are slowly falling. Someone needs to stay competitive!

Don't buy the ultra cheap ones off ebay, they are a scam. I got my money returned by paypal the day after buying.
I was just hoping someone that didn't know the value was clearing stock form a failed business as they were selling 30 x 1080 ti for £80

The 980Ti was dropped to £299, never noticed the Oculus bundle. They are probably just posted up on B Grade with default pricing then reduced later.
Try getting OCuk's service from other stores. It's worth a little more

It was 30 available for £80 each. I think it was worth the gamble considering you get your money back if they don't deliver.

Aye, the only reason I haven't gone elsewhere yet is because prices are still inflated beyond what I would be happy to pay.
That said, from all my browsing competitors are offering products at a VERY significant price difference compared to OCUK, well beyond any question of good customer service.
I'm not sure if OCUK are really keeping the edge anymore, less stock and a more inflated price? It never used to be like this.
