If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your graphics card, now might be a good time to do so. This is because Overclockers UK, a popular online retailer that deals in PC hardware, is currently offering one of AMD’s newest cards at less than MSRP.

The card we’re talking about is the AMD Radeon RX 9070, which was released back in March this year. The mid-range option offers 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM and 3,584 cores, making it an excellent card for 1440p gaming. Right now, if you head over to Overclockers UK, you’ll find several models listed below MSRP. However, there’s a small catch – most aren’t brand new. Instead, they’re ‘B-Grade’ items.

There is, however, a deal on the new PowerColor RX 9070 Reaper, but that may not last long.

While this might be a deal breaker for some, B-Grade cards are worth trying out. They may have damaged packaging or might be missing some original accessories. In some cases, there could be minor scratches, but the card itself works just fine. Overclockers UK first tests the cards thoroughly before listing them on the site, so you don’t have to worry about any technical faults. And to make things even better, the retailer also offers a six-month warranty, so there’s nothing for you to worry about.

Just ahead of the RX 9070 series launch, Overclockers UK confirmed the pricing of the new GPUs. The cheapest RX 9070 was listed at £529.99. Specifically, these were the Sapphire Pulse and PowerColor Reaper, so it’s nice to finally see some cards drop below £500 after inflated prices struck soon after the initial launch.

Its bigger sibling, the RX 9070 XT, got all the hype when the 9070 series launched, but the 9070 (non-XT) still remains a valid choice if you’re working with a more limited budget. The price of the XT card remains inflated, and even the available B-Grade models are more expensive than MSRP.
