Graphic Cards Difference between the two ??

Physically the cards are the same, but the difference is in the software bundle. You get two sapphire select keys with the higher priced one. Sapphire bundles along like 5-6 games with the card. You can activate any two of the games. Check out the sapphire website for more info on the games available. For $20 more two original games dosent seem like a bad deal
 
^^i thought refurbished cards are clearly marked and sold as REFURBISHED .. are u sure about open box cards being refurbished ?

and can somebody confirm whether the warranty is only 15 days ? doesnt sapphire give any direct warranty or something ?
 
Whenever OEM is mentioned, it is only 15 days warranty or something like that.

If not 15 days, then maybe 1 month or so....not the usual 2/3/5/lifetime warranty on retail cards
 
No, they used to mark it refurbished just till few days ago. Now they mark it open box. So unless you stay in usa to make sure card is ok on arrival stay away from open box. Its strict no no as these open box are usually returned products and its highly likely user returned it because it had some issue.

EDIT : from newegg FAQ.

# What is a open box item? Does Newegg.com open box items or does the original manufacturer?

Open Box items have been opened and touched and/or returned. Because they originate from different situations, they may or may not include accessories, documentation or retail packaging. Refurbishment is done by the manufacturer. Open Box products are warranted for only 15 days. We recommend that you try out your open box product immediately after receiving it.
