Perfectly Functional GTX 970 Cards Being Returned Over Memory Controversy

Zeblade · Feb 2, 2015

You guys cant be this silly right? Well you talk as if you know Nvidia did this false advertisement on purpose. No please share all the proof YOU have. You know how that makes you look? So ALL the card makers have no way of testing they just make the WHOLE card yet cant test this or ALL are in on this also since they never said a word. Then the review sites ALL left with "Nvidia said" so thats all we have for you guys we can only run the benchmarks not ONE new how to test for this?

So what am I saying? On purpose no one knows for sure and your just guessing and foolish if you do. If one does not join in with the lynch mob then YOUR ONE OF THEM!

So if your guessing then NV was blind or just really stupid and the card makers are all in on this or they to are totally stupid. Then us that bought the card are the smart ones.

As for false advertisement.. really? Check all you buy to see if it is exactly like its written? Not all. They know were sheep and were stupid. Proof? Who here smokes. Pay taxes? Do you KNOW what is not written anywhere (law or the like) yet you and I still PAY lol. This rabbit whole is huge.. trust me you dont want to open your eyes.

No you wont in a lot of games but as time goes on the list is going get bigger. I normally keep mine for at least 3 years and by that time there be a lot more.

I am wary of all the less-than-5-post defenders of NV across various forums on this issue.

I hope this is sarcasm or satire or some shit...... because I still have faith in mankind. Don't take that away from me.........Not for a GPU. not for a GPU.......

No, Everyone already seen it fck knows how many times int his thread alown. in fact i believe people should start getting banned for posted shit on a thread they clearly not read.

Athlonite · Feb 4, 2015

It begs the reason why did nVidia come forward with a statement now instead of when the card first launched answer they were caught out, if nobody noticed and complained they wouldn't have said anything and they would have gotten away with it

NVIDIA doesn't pay tech sites, NVIDIA doesn't advertise on tech sites, their partners do.

They dont? I guess you just check TPU for reviews then...

How many SiteSkins they buy on a product launch? Im guessing thats not cheap ...

I don't want a refund for my 970 because I'm happy with the performance but for anyone that does and wants to get involved then contact that law firm and let them know about this petition

They may not be aware of it.

Can someone explain why GPUz didn't pick up the actual number of ROPS etc?

I think W1zz explained last week. GPUz reads what the driver tells it.

Of course, that would mean someone intentionally put the wrong info in the driver...

iirc W1zzard said it reads the ROPS from the driver. In any case I think the GTX 970 has 64 ROPS it's just that it only uses 56 of them.
