I/O

Hahaha *SMH* no wonder you are so un-informed if you are unwilling to read... or is it incapable... that wall of text came from your "proof" of an issue saying its probably not related...

Fan boy detected !

That guy probably has some other issue because no one else has that issue...

No wall of text ... nvidia BSed and got caught and it's plain ans simple.

Why does this @I/O guy lurk every 970 thread? 

 

Good choice on keeping the card, OP. It's still a great GPU, regardless of the VRAM issue.

So you trust PCPer as a source.....except when they disagree with you. 

PCPer said that. Watch their video. 

So I am a troll cause of PCper ? Troll detected !

Yep, propaganda from a source you trust. 

Who said that you ?

Watch until about 42~ minutes. 

 

22-38~ minutes: talking about whats different/what Nvidia did/what they said. 

39-42~ minutes: This whole thing has been blown way out of proportion. 

 

Edit: I like the comment around the 41 minute mark...If you have a 7gb card (setup) -- two 970s...it doesn't work that way PCPer :unsure:

nvidia propaganda post !

Don't see how this thread has go this much attention other than the fact that the fanboy biased is stronger clearly on one side than the other. Freesync has not even been officially reviewed yet so lets reserve judgement until that time.

lol, I'm not biased either way. Hell, most of the builds that I recommend in the build planning section uses an AMD gpu. You're just incapable of accepting other people's opinions and would rather live in your own little AMD fanboy cocoon. 

I don't know much but I do know to listen to people like PCper. I am really only loyal to what you get for your dollars spent ... that's why I went with Intel CPU this time because they were willing to offer me allot more performance all around for the money .

Guys lets wait until freesync comes out to draw conclusions.

 

If AMD lied we will judge them then.

Touché and if the opposite is true lets be real with that option as well.

People have already been using 970s for MONTHS, theres no "see how it pans out"....it already has excellent performance, and it's the EXACT same performance as it has always been. 

 

Although, I'm sure I'm somehow harassing you right now, so you better report me again. 

No your just pumping up nvidia now cause or personal brand biased issues. I would reserve yourself and find more info on the topic before going full radical.

This goes past that though, as I said he was the one who started the thread with the change.org page. I understand that he wants to return it because of coil whine, and thats cool, but I don consider listing "VRAM-Gate" as a valid reason.

I would because at a minimum between the lies from nvidia the Vram Gate and the coil whine issue that is plenty of reasons to warrant a consumer to be pissed.

@I/O

 

That same video has been post all over the Net.... I didn't really make this post to debate whether or not the GTX 970s memory config is causing issues. I just wanted to inform the community of what I have decided to do with my GTX 970 based on the experience I have had, and to gather opinions from other GTX 970 owners. 

That's a personal opinion. I personally would wait for a month or two and see how this debacle pans out. If it ends up looking bad I would sell your 970 but if it's not so bad then i would buy your friends 970 for SLI.

Both are good but I will recommend New Vegas.

 

It just feels like there is more to it (bigger,/larger, more quests etc), the music is better, the story and quests feeling more fulfilling. The mods available for it are amazing as well. Seriously. Play NV first, and then Fallout 3.

Ya man F3 was like a demo com paired to NV LOL.

You are being childish posting that thing eveywhere.

 

Just saying..

 

I have seen that posted in this forum 5 times.

Why are you continuing to harass me ? Please add some value to the topics.

Stop posting this video in every thread

Stop shit posting your self. You are the one shitposting and you know it. What value are you trying to place to the topic at hand ?

The Holly Balls thing goes to the Sapphire card. 

 

I value backplates, silence, overclocking and overall performance, so kind of everything. Sorry, I am just really confused about what would be the right decision. The Return isn't by Nvidia, but buy the online retailer. Maybe a official Nvidia response would be better.

I still don't see the value you are trying to present ?

My two cents: Rant/rage at Nvidia (on an ethical level) all you want, but the card still performs how it should, so bitching about the card is silly. 

 

/you're making the right choice imo, and you should buy your friend's 970 

Not really. nvidia did bold face lie and they got caught and it's as simple as that. Weather or not this is the truth will be found out in time.

Holly Balls, what a card!

 

I was just playing and it is quiet nice how quite my 970 stays. After reading so much and watch all these video, I do not know what to do. Have I noticed any performance drop, no. This is a hard decision. The coil whine is only when Folding Core 15, so I can life with that. 

I don't see the value you are trying to present ?

That's how it always goes. Why would nvidia sell the last of the prior gen GPUs at a lose if they can sell them at a profit margin ?

Im watching it because i have nothing else to do.

It's an excellent insight from qualified professionals.

It died faster than most I/O shit threads.

Please watch the video and then add the discussion at hand LOL. It's a great video with lots of insight onto this Vram Gate issue.

You know that  970 threads turn into flamewars fast.

 

I learned that the wrong way.

Not this one. I will ask people to watch the video and absorb what PCper has to say on the matter as they are much more in the know than most of us.
