How would that work, if you go to the manufacturer within the first year don't they refer you back to the retailer ?

Manufacturer would typically cover their manufacturer warranty base on the date the card left the factory (by serial number), rather than the date you bought the card after the warranty with retailer expired.
 
b grade gpu pricing seems high, 50/80 quid saving worth the loss of warranty? nock a third to more of the price then sure but not for 50 quid of a 500 quid gpu. not all warranties transfer so check it out before hand.

If the full warranty is with the manufacturer and not the retailer and they honour B grade sales then no. You need to check the terms of any warranty left. Plus its only 90 days cover with OCUK. eg Monitors OCUK refer you to the manufacturer if there is a fault even if its a week old.

also, bear in mind that you are free to make offers under the published price and that many people have had such offers accepted ;)

When they stick stock in B grade they dont change the price (because they cant be bothered). Its often the last proper retail price they were offering it at. Hence why you should always do what Trojan says above.

5700XT Nitro is £420, B stock was £300, now sold out. Seems pretty reasonable.

It's Sapphire as well, best build quality of all the party AMD cards by miles. If its not DOA, it'll last years.
 
Just an update for you all, I requested a lower price on a B grade GPU, here is the reply:

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.

What card was it
 
Ok thought it might have been one of the lower end cards so not much leeway but it's not strange I bought several items from b grade some they do deals on others they don't luck of the draw I guess really
 
The B grade 5700XT's on the store already have a sizeable discount to be fair... There's probably more room for negotiation on items with a smaller discount already applied.
 
b grade 5700 xt can be had for 300 if u ask when there asking about 330 or 350 ish.

If it was this one it it a good discount at 279

Or you could like i say maybe grab that for 300 and basically have a 2080ti performance almost. Certainly better at 4k if u play at that res than a 5700xt.

Tho new cards coming etc etc so maybe wait till there out then b grade might be cheaper or new cards might be ok priced who knows.
