"OcUK Value" GTX570 Question

[xEden]

I was browsing around on the shop, and found this.

There were two things about that card that got my attention. First, it has no defined brand (MSI, ASUS, etc...). Second, the cooler of the card in the picture has the original Nvidia design.

Out of curiosity, what exact version of the card is that? Is that card really a "pure" Nvidia card, like the ones they give the reviewers and editors? Or will I just receive a card from some other random brand if I order one?


Cheers

No.

Yes, usually a brand like Palit.

yeah its usually a random brand of what ever they have available at the time

i remember when they had the 480's in they mainly used Inno3D ones.
it'll most likly be a reference design version thou

Both of the OcUK brand cards that I have bought are Zotac.

I bought a ocuk gtx 460, that arrived as a sparkle branded card

OcUK Branded cards are normally Sparkle, Inno3D, Palit or Zotac, in 99% of cases it will be a reference design card.

That OcUK Value card looks over priced when you get can get the MSI 570 for £240 on ocuk or the Twin FrozR III for £270

The OcUK branded GPUs seem to be whatever batch they can get good deals on, sometimes you get lucky (my 470s were POV cards basically retail boxed and from the good overclocking batch POV had also I've had sparkle cards before with uprated cooling and a nice bundle) sometimes you just get a reference card with basic acessories.
