I think EVGA goofed.

They may have confused it with B stock. There was a 970 for the same price yesterday.

This is from the B stock, just look at the warranty.

[Lethal Seraph]

Are these bad?

Are these bad?

Bought a B-stock 780 classified. No defects what so ever. 

[moity]

I feel like this isn't worth it for some reason

[Duckonquack0]

I got one I works fine

Likely terrible with overclocking as these are refurbished cards, but if you aren't in the OC scene, these are perfectly fine cards. I remember my 780 SC had an issue where modifying fan curves would cause the PC to crash, and while it could have been software related more than anything that was the only issue I ever had.

I would guess some might have alright overclocking, but as a general, you probably would end up with a lower end card. Still, if I saw a 780ti for the low 200s to high 100s, I would definitely swoop one!

[Lethal Seraph]

I personally don't have anything against these b stock. Too bad a friend whom I'm helping build a pc does.

Yea, my 970 that I got a couple weeks ago from EVGA doesn't overclock that well. I'm struggling to get to 1500mhz boost but temps are great with a custom fan curve that maxes out at 45% fan speed.

When i proceed to payment page it crashes... :*(

[Tim Drake]

Fucking stupid EU EVGA B-Stock sucking so bad.

Its the same as getting one new. My 780 hits 1250+ without modded bios or any extra voltage on air.

I think it's a mix of refurbished cards and step up cards my 980 classified can barley get to 1500 mhz core and I can't even over clock the memory or it is unstable my cousin ordered this same card earlier and kept getting driver crashes and had to rma the card

Drivers matter a ton. On windows 10 I have trouble getting my 1250. On 7 I could do it all day long.

Yeah he said windows 10 was more stable but it kept crashing it was a for sure the card

[0ld_Chicken]

I got a 980 reference for cheap off here and it oc's up there with the rest of them.  1505 core and 8ghz+ mem

just price match it for a regular one at Bestbuy or something

[Ynkeeblood9]

Yeah id still take advantage of this if anything else do what ethanfrogman said and price match it somewhere

[Gingy]

If I'm building for the first time on a budget, would a B-Stock 970 be a good idea?

 

I'm not too concerned about overclocking and I don't have any parts yet.

[oldgamer4life]

After buying what is called a factory certified re-manufactured tv from Philips and having it turn out to be horrible no way would I jump on a product like this here with the EVGA video card.  Also if I would have looked closer at the box before buying this tv and saw that it was re-manufactured I wouldn't have bought it.  The heck with refurbs, re-manufactured, B-Stock and so on.

[keepcalmcarryon]

I was about to buy this then I was hit with tax and shipping. Cancelled the order right away.
