****Official Nvidia Refurb Thread****

[Lunawolfy]

Hey all,

With the refurb cards due in stock on the 19th, I was just wondering how many of you had pre-ordered one?

This is a pretty ground-breaking deal OCUK has embarked on, to bring us mega cheap Nvidia cards with a 1yr warranty.

I was thinking this would be a good place to pool our information and post our reviews of the cards (I am torn between the saving on the OEM cards or shelling out on an EVGA one)

So what card(s) are you planning on getting? And when you get them remember to post a review here, I'm sure they will be big sellers if come the 19th your all singing their praises

if i fails outside a year then you've essentially rented a card for a year for £300.

Renting GFX cards, epic idea

Well there was another thread but that was a question. I felt it would be good to have one place to pool the results

a lot of people want to own a 580 for the sake of owning a 580

Although 570 is best bang for buck the 580 is a beast

 

[Lunawolfy]

480 to a 580? I just dont get it! Its epeen nothing else.

It's all about the ePeen

 

[Lunawolfy]

480 is ridic value

 

[Lunawolfy]

Gutted if people had pre ordered at the other prices

Surely you could cancel and get a refund, I'd imagine they'd give it to you for the lower price

 

[Lunawolfy]

Teh saving is a fair bit more than £30 to be fair

 

[Lunawolfy]

Logically I think you're right easy, but the 480 is £40 cheaper and just as fast despite being older tech. Seeing as i'm Water cooling, I don't think the higher running temps of the 480 will be a problem. No full cover 570 waterblock on oc'uk either, do you know if the EK full cover 580 block will fit the 570?

Probably not. But if your wanting high quality WC parts you cannot expect to get it all from OCUK, it's a niche market and there very expensive to stock.

No point filling warehouse space with tech 1-in-10000 buy...
