Hey guys. I have run into a great deal on some video cards that are $60-$150 cheaper for open box items.

Now I would never buy a Used or Refurbished Video card, but open box normally just means the seal was broken and cannot be sold as new, what do you guys think, would I be smart to buy an open box item?

Open box can be manufacturer Refurbish and or Customer return. to buy one? well i guess for me it would depend on the brand and site that is selling it and how much of a deal are you getting etc.

so it might be worth it

What brand is the 560?

I have read that the 560 is better and then i have read the 6850 is better. i never had a 6850 so i can only say that i have had no probs at all with the 560 and it plays my games fantastic that and for me it seems to stay at a nice cool temp when playing any of my games which is nice
