I still stand by this would not have been an issue if it was just a mistake in the ROPS and L2 Cache since we have seen performance numbers and those do not lie. The .5gb running extremely slow compared to the rest does pose an issue however and is the primary reason this is a problem. Not every game or benchmark is going to push 3.5gb+ Vram usage easily at least which is where this problem holds its ground as because your expecting 4gb to handle that because you bought it with 4gb. If the problem comes from exceeding 4gb, well that's not a problem for the company as the card came with it and you knew what you were getting so you knew what to expect. However if using that much Vram on the card is causing issues then you were mislead which is why people have a right to be mad about it.
It should not be labeled as the end of the world however I believe people have the right to be mad as I would be in the same situation as many are. Does it make the card a bad card though, no I do not believe so and I still think its a good card even if the specs were revised and they completely dropped the .5gb segment totally and made it a 3.5gb card. It would still be an awesome card, use a decently low amount of power, and give people a good value and still will to those who are keeping theirs/buying 1/buying more.
The thing is, this was seen and viewed by many including reviewers as a great alternative to the GTX 980, 780/780ti, R9 290, and R9 290X. Many people (Including myself) have recommended it as a great value for higher resolutions (1440p, 2160p, etc) and a better alternative in some cases to other card on the market around the same price heck I have seen many people swap out cards for these with the purpose of lower power and the ram upgrade. The reality is this upgrade was not as big as many were expecting and those people are going to feel cheated and reserve the right to be mad/get their money back. Not everyone is forced to feel that way and in no way should ANYONE tell someone else to return their card otherwise their an idiot, but the reverse is also true as you should not say someone is an idiot for returning their card because they feel cheated/are not happy.
