B-Grade GPU concerns/questions

[hobohouseparty]

Hi all,

I was just wondering if anyone has experience buying B-Grade gpus, as there's an extremely tempting offer on a G1 Gaming 980ti at the moment, but the whole "B-Grade" thing is holding me back a little.

Its a great saving, great version of the card etc, but it begs the question why people would send them back? I know some people may just have changed their minds but i'm guessing some are either awful overclockers/coil whine/loud fans etc, so i'm trying to weigh up the risk involved.

I know Overclockers have a 90 day warranty so I can send it back if its faulty, but do you get the rest of the remaining manufacturers warranty at all? I've heard some people say yes, others no, and others say it depends on the manufacturer.


So really, i'm just hoping some of you good people will reassure me that the risk is low, that you've had great experiences with B-Grade Gpus and that I should totally go for it!

Any help or advice is appreciated, thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply - and your honesty

Well a few minutes ago there were 10+ in stock on a G1 980ti (saw the offer through a deal site), now it says there's only 1 980(not ti) and its on pre-order, so maybe a mistake or error.

But anyway, thanks for your advice.

if there was a 980ti at £300 I would say that was a mistake

Well it was listed at £389.99 until it disappeared

I saw it earlier today too

Glad I wasn't the only one then I guess they were just sold extremely quickly.

Thanks for all the replies and insights though, I don't feel as bad for missing out on them now
