hehe so it was you who took it had my eye on it went to check bank balance and was gone doh!
Congrats on a bargain :p
 
I see from your sig your going from an x850xt so the difference will be huge. I went from an x850xt up to my x1800xt and even then the difference was massive, so you'll not be dissapointed :D

Same here but it was obviously brand new and i was happy, the good thing about calling into ocuk is you can check b grade stuff over before yopu hand over your cash
 
9800 pro

I was tempted to purchase the 9800 pro B-Grade graphics card but was a bit weiry about doing this as it would not have a manufacturers warranty, when your spending a lot on a graphics card i feel this is something that the card must have, otherwise if you are unlucky then it could be a big waste of money
 
It does have the manufactures warranty unless you are very unlucky and the item is 11 months old and then you only get the remaining 1 month.
Ocuk just say they themselves wont guarantee it past a week or so then its pot luck on how second hand it was
 
Great price for that card! :cool:

Keep me posted on how much of an improvement in performance you get! I've got an overclocked x850xt also! :p

Gutted tbh

its only happened to me about 4 times, but....

Rang them, they confirmed it was in stock.
Placed order using friends card, (my money was tied up waiting for a refund from a previous cancelled order)
security check meant my order was delayed
someone else got my x1900xt


all this happened on tuesday, on friday (today) i rang them and asked after my order, i hadnt even recieved a cancellation order, and so had to prompt them for a refund, which will be 3-5 working days.

so im currently £350 quid down, with nothing to show for it! :mad:

Feel for you! :(

Sorry to hear that mate! Annoying when you're not contacted about a cancellation! Has happened to me twice and i've never received a cancellation email! :rolleyes:

I've had the same experience as Rick, not once but twice! I wish I was contacted the next day and told exactly why the order was cancelled, but I had to wait 2 days then rang up to find out only to be dissappointed.

Anyway, I've since bought B-Grade items and been happy. :p
 
i payed 350 for a x850xtpe when it came out, tahts how rare they were. didnt come in a box either
