The guy is laughing nvidia right into a class action lawsuit. Seems the info the other guys had to say why it "appears" to be short a little ram was nvidia's way to explain a lie away.
That laugh is great !

The 970 sounds like a 980 that used a binned chip that didn't pass performance specs.
It sounds like it still has 4GB of RAM but the last .5GB is slower than the rest, and the OS decides whether and how to use it.
NVidia claims there was a miscommunication between the marketing and engineering sections that explains why this wasn't well known.
Sounds like damage control.:)
You mean like this? http://www.pcworld.com/article/28872...rformance.html :pQuote:
