I thought we already established long ago that having more GPU RAM does not really improve performance when the GPU itself isn't fast enough. I would agree if everyone is double or triple SLI their GTX 970 to run 4K (because the RAM is still limited to single card RAM) then it is an issue. I guess people just take opportunity (like every fanboys) just to jump the gun and take the shoot for trolololol.

I still remember I first got conned by a salesman in Low Yat saying that my ATI X300 with 256MB HyperMemory is a powerful card. Only later I learned that X300 is entry card (not even mid range)... all the additional RAM went unused.  doh.gif

In the case of gtx970, it is fast enough to fill up 4gb. But due to 0.5gb slow ram, your card tanked. So it's like having 3.5gb card.

I wonder if GTX970 will fully support Direct12 eventhough the spec said it does.

it is said even the GTX600 series would support DX12

heck, even Fermi is rumored to support DX12 sweat.gif

as for whether it supports full, i think itll be like DX11 vs DX9 vs DX10 again?

I'm quite certain the 970, 980 and the 960 (as well as the 750Ti) will support DX12. However, it will NOT fully support all of DX12's features. I keep my fingers crossed because Nvidia does say on their PR page and spec sheet that the 970 and 980 are fully ready to support DX12, but as we know... we have to take a pinch of salt of what they say.

Once you Gsync, you never go back. It isn't a gimmick.

Yes, AMD's 4GB of VRAM on the 290/290x is really 4GB of VRAM. It's been that way since the day it was launched. Props to AMD actually, the 290x was slower than the 780Ti at first but recently the 290x actually matches it if not exceeds the 780Ti's performance.

Wow, to those playing Dying Light... you need to lower LOD to less than 20 to actually play the game. Having it anything more than that and it'll be a stutter fest, unless you don't mind playing at a locked 30fps (in which case, might as well play on a console which is actually a smoother experience).

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.

You trying to troll or what? Since when was 290x obsolete? Until there's a 390x, 290x isn't obsolete.

Update from nVidia:-

Hello,

I'm sorry that what I wrote was poorly worded, I realize I made it sound like there was a special patch or something and that is definitely not the case. We are always working on new drivers that tune performance and add features, the GTX 970 is no different.

Are you having a specific issue with the 970 that I can help you with? Unfortunately we made an error in the reviewer guide but the GTX 970 is one of the best GPU's we've ever built.

Let me know how I can help.
