Yeah I think it is possible. I even tried 5K (5120x2880) DSR on my 1440p monitor and it works.

From GIGABYTE:-

Dear customer,

Thank you for your patience regarding the recent GTX 970 complaint, GIGABYTE is still working with NVIDIA regarding this matter. But we do understand this may be a lengthy process, GIGABTYE has decided to offer a paid upgrade program for customers who are interested in moving up to the GTX 980.

The two model we are offering for the upgrade options are GV-N980G1 GAMING-4GD and GV-N980WF3OC-4GD. For customers who are interested in the upgrades, please provide a copy of the original purchase invoice, serial number, shipping information and the model you are interested. Once we received the information we will reply back with a price difference and how to proceed with the upgrade.

Thank you for choosing GIGABYTE.

lol by then probably new AMD cards come out, then nvidia comes out with Titan II or a GTX 980 Ti

true... either way we're kinda screwed. I think the best is to wait for the next gen AMD cards to available. See how they performs. If it's all good, then can just sell the 970. I'm sure there are still alot of ppl that just game at a single 1080p mon.

The gigabyte offer is like you are already screwed by nvidia. Then we turn around and say, please screw me again, i wasnt screwed enough the first time. Pay once to nvidia not enough, now ask me to pay more again!

Any word from ASUS?

Any follow up on how much their paid upgrade offer is?

Not sure if Gigabyte Malaysia will be doing the same thing.

Hmmm. I contacted MSI Malaysia and they say they are not planning on any refund or upgrade program either, at least not right now.

Andrew “Gibbo” Gibson, purchasing manager at Overclockers UK, said that multiple graphics cards makers decided to support OcUK in terms of accepting returns. In particular, EVGA, Inno3D, KFA2 (formerly Galax), MicroStar International, Palit Microsystems and Zotac have officially confirmed plans to take the graphics cards back.

Well,if they confirmed,then why would MSI Malaysia are not planning on accepting returns/refunds/upgrade yet?

I think most of them (those that accepted returns) did it out of good will and without any confirmation from nvidia.

how bout LEADTEK?

Not happening in Malaysia... at least, not yet.

looks like Ngreedia US in trouble... NY Legal Firm is looking for opportunities.

does anyone know whether to get pascal 2016, or is it worth waiting for volta in 2017 ?

well your not getting screwed for getting a 980gtx, but it definitely is turning and rewarding nvidia by not losing them business though they deserve just that because of the 970 scam (because they sold a gpu claiming it was 4gb vram, when actually it was 3.5 vram all along....)

play dota 2 enable DSR 4.00x native resolution 3840 x 2160 with 33% smoothness on my 1080p monitor will cause the game shuttering badly.

dota 2 is not a really demanding game also perform so SUX!

of course it would, GTX 960 can't even maintain 120fps on dota 2 1080p...

GTX 970 just passed that mark. If you make it 4K then lol

need to email zotac see wether have upgrade program
