Cut the price, and get the same quality performance
The latest gaming rigs are expensive, and most people have to save up money for a long time in order to afford them. However, there is a cost-effective solution.
Quality refurbished gaming rigs provide the same performance as new, without breaking the bank. An extensive warranty is also included for ultimate reassurance.
New vs Refurb: Nvidia RTX 2080 GPUs
The same performance as new
The benchmarking software, 3D Mark tested brand new versus refurbished Nvidia RTX 2080 GPUs. The scores revealed that the refurbished scored higher than a new GPU. This will be due to Driver updates enhancing the GPUs performance via software updates.
The scores demonstrate that refurbished components do not degrade over time, and that they run as well as new if not better than their original release date.
Contributing to a circular economy
Traditionally, there have been many misconceptions about refurbished IT and gaming equipment which have prevented people from trusting refurb. This has meant that gamers, businesses and public sector organizations have been missing out on reliable and cost-effective solutions for decades.
We are passionate about keeping quality technology in circulation and reducing e-waste wherever possible. Raising awareness about the benefits of refurbished is therefore an important part of our day jobs, as well as actively searching for circular solutions.
Industry-leading research
Our research with the University of East London, recently published into the IEEE Journal for Transactions on Sustainable Computing, proved for the first time ever that the performance of refurbished is the same as new, and in some cases can outperform the latest generation. This was a ground-breaking piece of research that we hope will change the way people think about refurbished. You can read more about these findings and what they mean here.
