Re: GTX 970

The card has 4GB RAM, but the last 0.5GB runs at a different rate to the rest. I'm dual screened in 1080p on both and get 300FPS in CS:GO and haven't had any issues in any other game.

Re: GTX 970

The so called ram issue was blown way out of proportion and it really is not an issue.
Also the program used that made out the card had issues was not even designed for such a thing and the maker of said program even stated it might give false readings.
At the end of the day the 970 is good for 2560x1440 res personally speaking and there will only be a few games you might have issues with.

Re: GTX 970

Its certainly not a bad enough issue to warrant buying a 980 instead of a 970, big price difference with little performance difference.
Nvidia were naughty and I hope they lose the lawsuit but its a very good mid range card.

Re: GTX 970

looking at the difference between the 970 and 980 its mostly just cost, the 980 is only a tiny jump ahead.
