I am worried about my new build, All the gear came this morning and I have 2 970s ready to go.

 

I see there are loads of problems popping up today about issues with this card, I really dont want to have to deal with this when ive just dropped nearly 2 grand on computer parts.

 

Should i return them or just stick it out?

 

Is there many people with 970s who are not having issues?

You didn't even build it. If you are too scared to build a PC you shouldn't have bought the parts in the first place. There are SO many things that Can happen, you can kill the CPU with static electricity, you can break the mobo by overdoing a screw, you can kill the mobo by tightening the cooler too much, you can kill the PC by not connecting the cables well, etc. etc. Just build it and hope for good luck.

Wat?

 

I havent got a problem building it, ive built loads of PCs, Im more worried about the reams of threads i have read about the VRAM problem.

 

Dont be so quick to jump in with sarkey comments, Im just after opinions.

My 970 is amazing <3 No but really you should not worry about them. People that had a negative experience almost always complains and people that had positive experience tend to stay quiet and enjoy their new GPU.

Only problem is VRAM hitting like 3.5gb instead of max 4gb I think.

Yeah but it's a major real problem, they are starting doing 970s recalls I think.

You always hear about the negatives before you hear the positives.

The cards you purchased are still very capable cards imo :D

If there is a problem he can always RMA. Also would you link me to some news about those recalls?
