Was it B stock? If so only 90 days warranty tbh.

Bargain price for a very overclockable card. Can probably get to 5% better than a stock GRE
Probably was TBF...

Is that right, only 90 days? cuz on at least some of the B Grade items I've looked at it says:
Stop ruining it for me!

That indicates a change of policy @GoogalyMoogaly , do you have a link to one or two that says that? Just curious tbh. Thanks

most of the ones I've looked at say it, for example...

They must have increased as during the pandemic it was only 90 days.

Sorry, derailed that a little there and I'm not even a 7600/7700/7800 or 7900GRE owner (although I was going to get a B Grade 7700XT until I realised it wouldn't fit in my case).

Yup it seems like it's been increased, good news really
"These products fall outside of the original manufacturer's warranty and replaced with a 6 month warranty with Overclockers UK. B Grade products can only be returned or exchanged for products of a similar or lower quality grade."
Anyone on here with a 7800xt that has high power draw?
I have one in my machine and one in the other half's machine and hers seems to draw about 50w less (280w vs 230w) with the same voltage, which seems bizarre to me, but it has a major effect on thermals, and obviously clock speed.
Anyone else noticed this too?

Depends on the model, the TDP of the RX 7800 XT is 263 Watts, my Sapphire Pulse is around 250 watts, that's the same as the reference version, however a high end one like the Sapphire Nitro+ is 277 watts.
So some might be a bit under the reference 263 watts TDP and some a bit over.

TDP is only a guide set by chip designer as to the 'minimum' cooling requirements, Nvidia do make AIB's stick to that power brief, its one of the reasons EVGA were unhappy with Nvidia, AMD do allow for a bit of discretion when it comes to power consumption so that's how you might get differences between model's.
If you want to bring the power down you could undervolt it and brig the power slider to -5% or so, its easy to do.

Oh, I'm fully aware that there's a range, however, when trying to get the two cards one xfx speedster qick and one sapphire nitro+ (lower tdp on this one, weirdly) to the same clocks, etc. it's really annoying.TDP is only a guide set by chip designer as to the 'minimum' cooling requirements, Nvidia do make AIB's stick to that power brief, its one of the reasons EVGA were unhappy with Nvidia, AMD do allow for a bit of discretion when it comes to power consumption so that's how you might get differences between model's.

Again, one is at around 230w (sapphire) vs 280w (xfx) for the exact same voltage and clocks, it seems like a crazy difference these are both overclocked and undervolted with +15% power limit, so not the stock clocks
