EVGA B-Stock

[Aruxx]

I hadn't really found anything on EVGA's B-stock before I bought it, so I decided I'd make a review on it!

This box came inside another box filled with enough peanuts to pester an elephant.  My struggle to get the graphics card out of this plastic enclosure (struggle not shown in video sorry guys) reassured me that it wasn't jostling all around while shipping.  As stated on the website it doesn't come with any accessories (no drivers disk oh nooooo!), but I was fully prepared for that.

 

That's one sexy graphics card phoowie!

 

The graphics card wasn't tainted by any imperfections like stated in the B-stock warning.  The only thing I found were 2 slightly bent cooling fins, which when bending back I found they were easily pliable and probably could happen with any card!  

 

The fans are quiet, there's no coil whine, and it overclocked pretty well.  I feel like I'm writing an actual graphics card review because I found nothing out of the ordinary with the B-stock card.  Maybe I got a good card out of the bunch?  I get 97fps in Cinebench and 57.3fps in Valley Benchmark (1680x1050, 8x AA, Ultra), plenty of gaming power for anything I might throw at it *cough cough* Smite.

 

I didn't have any pictures for this segment so here have a picture of.. 'Me' using my new-found graphics power!

 

Thanks for the read!  Sorry it was so short, but that's just it.  There was nothing out of the ordinary about this card so if you want to embrace the 1 year warranty it has my seal of approval!
