Last card i bought was a B Grade Fury Nitro, that was 4 years ago and it's still going strong today. Admittedly its been under water the whole time.
Just today i've actually bought an upgrade, and picked up the last 5700XT Pulse they had, again a B Grade. Ill see how this one goes when it arrives.

This fills me with confidence tbh. Did you make an offer or just go ahead at the listed price? I'm considering the Nitro SE
I just paid the price to be honest, thought it was pretty reasonable considering the new prices.
Yeah fair one

Bought a B Grade Sapphire RX 580 to tide me over until the new cards are released and then stick it in my son's PC.
First one was DOA, RMA issued, with collection same day and a new card shipped. It was working absolutely perfectly until my EK water block failed and dumped all of my coolant on it and my new motherboard.

Oh mate what a nightmare! I'm assuming it's all toast now?

I've made offers of that (£300) twice on B Grade Zotac 1080ti's and my current MSI 1080ti Lightning X - when all 3 were priced considerably higher than £499..
All three still rocking along nicely.
I've had B-Grade offers both accepted and rejected which is fair enough, never any harm in asking, the worst the can do is say no.

Thank you for your webnote.
I'm afraid this has already got a significant discount on it being a B-Grade product. I'm afraid we would not be able to reduce it further at the moment. Please keep checking our website and forums for updates.
I've bought loads of B-Grade stuff from OC/Uk over the years, from Gaming Chairs to GPU's although it's only recently that I started to put offers in having realized you can negotiate B-Grade pricing, on some products but certainly not all.

Wernt u the one that got the other 1080ti in the other b grade topic recently if so did u just buy that new one i posted in here about lol.
Would love to but I'd probably need a fresh monitor andMight be time for an upgrade then!
I can't justify the outlay at the minute. See what occurs with the next batch of card releases.

That’s pretty cool getting 1080tis for £300 and I assume it was a while ago. Where do you make the requests?I've made offers of that (£300) twice on B Grade Zotac 1080ti's and my current MSI 1080ti Lightning X - when all 3 were priced considerably higher than £499..

The most recent was only a few weeks ago, the other two over the last couple of years.
I asked in the Customer Service / Pre-Sales forum - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/forums/community/pre-sales-queries.117/
Maybe if it was cheap or discounted enough but really the 90 day warranty puts me off. I tend to only buy things from B Grade that are resistant to failure, like cases or peripherals. Complex components like graphics card and motherboards are far too much of a risk unless they're dirt cheap.

Whilst £300 is not cheap in most people's books for a component, for a 1080ti it was what I felt a used/B-Grade was worth despite the silly used prices were all aware of, I certainly think the 90 day warranty was a bonus in my case, especially given 1080ti's go for far more second hand with no warranty at all.... The only thing I've had fail on me that was a B-Grade over many years of buying predominantly GPU's was an SSD of all things, probably one of the most reliable PC components you can buy! - Ultimately, you bid what its worth to you, they say yes or no, everybody is happy.
I'll continue to buy B-Grade more than happily.
