B grade asus 5770?

[tummelv]

Hi,

I was just consider crossfiring my ati asus 5770 as I have done in the past and notice OCUK has a asus 5770 exactly like mine but it's b grade.

How come it's a good £30 cheaper than the other 5770's ? At this price it's cheaper than a used one off the bay!

Then buy it, it's most probably missing a few items like CD, cables or retail box but it will be fully working. I wouldn't buy a B grade high-end card myself because I want the full consumer protection but a 5770 this price is good.

Well obviously all I'd need is a crossfire bridge but I got one of those with my first 5770 so....

what's the warranty like?

90 days i believe

It will be b grade because it will be missing a few minor items like driver CD, crossfire bridge etc. But the card will be fine, even if it's not there should be a 90 day warranty, for £70 definitely go for it, the xfire performance should be good. I would have gone for it if it wasn't for my x4 pci-e slot D:

You'll find that x4 isn't the bottleneck you think on PCI-E 2.0:
