Yes, that's why Nvidia needs to make a cheaper module. Hopefully Gsync 2.0 will be more affordable to the masses.

Dying Light is not scary at all. It's actually intense, if you've played Dead Island then it is similar to that except you're in a city and there's a day/night cycle that changes gameplay. Currently, can't say I'm enjoying the game in terms of performance. 970 SLI at 1440p, I'm getting stutters like crazy. There's no proper SLI profile for the game yet, so I'll have to deal with it but even on a single card playing on 1080p... it's just not that fluid.
Asked a few retailers here, they're not doing the refund yet.

HOLD IT right there just wait 4 newer cards

So a person pays for a G-Sync monitor,but you can get cheaper monitor that can also have G-Sync?Kinda confused.
That's your experience.There's a lot of other people of using AMD cards,working fine.Both NVidia and AMD have their own problems.

really regret ?  woo im using 2x r9 290X crossfire mode (i buy 3 r9 290x in a year) what i experience..  IMPROVE in performance now R9 290x equal to GTX 780 Ti while before under it..and Game MANTLE Support(is like using DX12)  Able to Crossfire(dual GPU) without need it to be Same brands/ Clock speed Just same Model (e.g. R9 290 able to dual with R9 290X)  oh without using Bridge to Dual or Triple or Quad Gpu...  oh finally.. 4GB is 4GB

my MSI GT70 20D using GTX780M  so... is that mean i am Nvidia Fan boy too ?    i thought everyone is End user supporting both company meant non of us experience single gpu company monopoly(Gpu price increase selling at 200%/ company misadvertise their spec) which in term bad for end user..

Even if you want to suggest someone,you cannot follow your preferences.It has to be the person asking. Suggest best for the money.
If a person only plays games that aren't a vRAM eater Then going for GTX970 is the option.

I do agree that NVidia wasn't being honest..it's been a rough week for them. 

hope a driver fix will come out soon to reduce stuttering

Is there anything we can do if the shops dowan to accept return/exchange cos of the gtx970 vram issue?

What's your reasons for sticking with nvidia eventually?

keep it simple.. we not Semiconductor Engineer..  GTX 970 if you game on 1080p or 1440p on High@ Ultra "BE NO PROBLEM"     is just Suffer on 3840x2160 Resolution on any increase setting  but the performance hit not that much different... under 10Fps against R9 290X  that.. minimal.. for the price End user pay GPU .

From AMD Graphic FAN point of view/opinion  (what  this guy says.. )

Wow check this Power !  wow !

or wait 4 new nvidia successor which is around Q4 this year

I wanted GTX 970 too, but it was mostly out of stock or people jacked up the price from MSRP RM1388 to RM1499 (ASUS STRIX 970).

I got mine ASUS STRIX 980 for RM2150 (inclusive of credit card charges) instead of RM2299 which is the normal price people selling... (I can't find MSRP for this though).

Hey, anyone successfully returned a GTX 970? I'm thinking of returning mine to get either an R9 290X or a GTX 980. Do the shops just accept returns?
