[GTX970] The "problem" with its memory
-
I think the issue is very clear.
I don't care if the FPS drop is noticeable or not, it's something that shouldn't happen.
They're saying it's only when you go over 3.5 GB of VRAM... as if that never happens.
I have X Plane 10 with an Airbus 320neo, which also cost me a pretty penny, and I reach a constant VRAM usage (I'm not talking about peak usage) of 3.9 GB.
No, it's been a "let's see if it works" on the part of nVidia, which at least will refund the money for having that card, as it has, hidden flaws.No one refunds money for a minor defect that isn't noticeable.

Look, I haven't even bothered to read more after the pearl you've dropped in the first sentence, first by being disrespectful, and second by dropping the first nonsense statement with the sole intention of flaming.
And stop lying, please, because here people don't suck their fingers:
And so with any resolution they use on TPU!, a minimal difference between reference cards (especially the 970, with TDP and blower of the GTX 670 doing some thermal throttling) of 2-3% between both cards (and don't come with percentage subtractions, a rookie mistake that I won't amend and I'll warn you about).
Nothing to do with the tuned ones or anyone who mounts a "reference" blower style GTX 770 or GTX 680, which are better than the "basic" ones with blower type GTX 670/760.
About 20 games to make that average, so fewer wolves, by the way, given that I see a clear intention to flame and disrespect, on a personal level, and to disrespect the most basic truth, obviously I report for your clear intention to make fun of people.
Considering that mine comes with a slight factory OC, better dissipation and less thermal throttling, and that I can also get without problems an extra 15% REAL performance with light OC without touching voltages, there's only one thing left to add:
Take your jabs elsewhere.
I've already put above a review of the evga 970 ssc, one of the best 970s, and as you can see it's below, even at 1500 in some games it's still below a reference 780 ti ….. Let's not even talk about boosting the 780ti to 1ghz with undervolt clear, why then...
The internet is too big to be able to compare and see which webs are more impartial, how the different driver versions affect both architectures and the performance they acquire, so that you can say what you just said....
I won't even bother to put the data obtained on site by me, I'll tell you in advance that with maximum OC both cards give me an average of 10 fps in almost all games, it's a world.... and without VRAM problems XD.
Defend and excuse what you want, the numbers don't lie and are objective, the problem is serious and has little solution, you can put on as many band-aids as you want, all the ones you're willing to swallow.... You have thousands of users with problems, depending on the PC configuration greater or lesser, each one endures what they want, but then don't go crying on the forums soon as some do when not even at 1080p the games are smokable due to the continuous and excessive use of VRAM.
More so when talking about the sums of VRAM by dx12 and drivers...
Anyway, goodbye.
