Umm,there still is in the one above.

>.> I wonder how would they haven't heard of Tom's Hardware.

its not that they do no know the website . Its about who is going to bare the cost ?
The easy way out is not to acknowledge third party reviewer unless the direction/order is from nvidia themselves

lel now i can start sacrificing playing medium because now working cannot afford 2 buy new GPU every 2 years already from 2 years change 4 years dang...other commitments 2 bare is the main reason...so my target is volta in 2 years time

need to email nvidia pulak kasi kacau daun

Tomshardware doesn't relate to Zotac.

As Zotac advised you, refer to your seller.
The message is very clear.

If you want a fast solution, I'd suggest you sell your card at garage sales.
Get a GTX980 then.

That's not the point.

People in the US/EU are getting FULL refund on their 970s. Sites like Amazon and Newegg are also throwing in an extra $50 discount card for future purchases. Selling at garage sales here means selling as second hand, that also mean you're getting less back.

Exactly what Zotac told you - "the policy of seller".

Those who got from Amazon or Newegg is likely under the policy of 30-day return policy.

Heard EU vendors accept return though.

No, those I know who got refunds were launch day 970s. Most of them are from Gigabyte, EVGA and MSI.

nGreedia provides FULL refund on 970 for US/EU customer to avoid legal battles which hurt its profit even greater...
US legal firm is seeking opportunity in this scandal...

Its wise for nGreedia to refund.

But in our country, nGreedia don't give a shit about it as there is nobody to help those victims.

god bless malaysia we have great consumer rights

This may be awkward, bought a GTX 970 today Very happy with it's performance except for Dying Light.
Upgrading from GT 620 to GTX 970 is heaven and earth comparison.

anybody wanna buy my gtx970 i wanna letgo fast its zotac brand pm me for pricing thanks fed up with this ngreedia already

1st time start watchdogs got coil whine with GTX 970 but after i edited the below setting the coil whine gone.

VSync 2 frames
GPU Max Buffered Frames 5
Texture Ultra
Anti-Aliasing TXAA x4

everything ultra graphics quality but NVIDIA control panel grayed out ambient occlusion & there's the option for ambient occlusion in the game setting which i set to HBAO+ High. damn weird

Hahahaha

Of course, it is like upgrading from a Kancil to a Ferrari

Is the coil whine really loud?

damn loud but i forget which exact setting i edited but what i can confirm related to one of the setting below:

VSync 2 frames
GPU Max Buffered Frames 5
Texture Ultra
Anti-Aliasing TXAA x4

bro, how come when i open the game is not full screen? i already set full-screen just 1st time wanna play.

Did you alt+enter haha

fixed. unable to play at 60fps stable.

exactly. besides if we look at the performance charts, every next gen e.g. that usual 2 year product update, the usual performance change is usually roughly 15%

only some of their products had a huge leap in performance over the immediate previous generation especially when it's new architecture.


but it's not only fps % increments to look at, there are other feature sets that should be taken note of

- directx 12 (though not sure how soon the newer games will start having this)
- gsync support (still too expensive to own a monitor with gsync module. The only other alternative is free sync on ati cards, but i don't think their tech is as good as gsync)
- HBM (ati's product will be getting this sooner than nvidia by roughly a year ahead. Because nvidias volta HMC didn't pan out so they switched to HBM as well, so thats why they are slower than ati this time around) anyway this tech is vastly increased memory bandwidth which has been a long time bottleneck on gpus. Though it's presumed volta will be 2nd gen of hbm with even higher bandwidth, possibly double if the rumors to be believed.
- unified memory (sounds good could be a game changer)
- graphics technologies to improve visuals (physx, gameworks on nvidia)


another interesting development, now their saying pascal and future gpus could possibly add vram from a sli configuration. before vram wasn't a single pool. but come pascal onwards it will, but with some rules to it. games need to be coded to support it or something.

tbh both are similar, theyre some sort of adaptive v-sync. just that FreeSync leaves the GPU to do the processing compared to Nvidia's GSync module which is an external unit

prolly explains why Nvidia charges extra for the module
