The refurbed GTX 470 and 480.
A competitor has these cards, BRAND NEW, REFERENCE, WITH A 2YR WARRANTY AND THEY'RE CHEAPER....
So I'm ordering from them, Sorry guys
So much for cheapest in the UK...
I know of this competitor and investigated it and the stock they are selling was offered to us a few days ago and it was made clear to us it was manufacturer repair or old stock, so a mixed bag. We've also been informed by XFX they have not been supplying them product and they have been buying refurb stock and selling as new or so we've been told, whether true or not is another question, just seems odd.
If were told a product is refurbished at point of purchase, we sell and advertise it as refurbished, to do otherwise is a bit underhand.
However I would say the fact they offer a 2yr warranty does make up for that as refurb or not what does it matter with a 2yr warranty, as your covered for two years, which still means good value.
As to our pricing were leaving it as it is for now, sales are strong, they are reference and supplied by one of NVIDIA's longest standing partners as such we believe our pricing to be off good value and our run rates back this up. I did however drop some prices a couple of days ago so you might want to re-check our website price as forum prices are not linked to the website, so always check the website as prices do change daily.
