That's a major plus for g-sync then, wonder if Freesync will help with crossfire stutter to?
With 4k and Ultra textures in Shadow of Mordor I get a slight stutter. If I then put gsync on it is smooth as a babys bum.

Don't make the mistake of over-estimating this forum man. I can imagine 90%+ of people buying gfx cards from OcUK never come anywhere near here!!
Ha, you may be right. We're in the minority for sure. Even a few of my nerdy mates hadn't heard anything about all this 970 mess. Certainly wouldn't have done AMD any harm had they released new cards around about now though.Don't make the mistake of over-estimating this forum man.

Does this effect sli?
it effects any 970 so if your doing 2 x 970s in sli, yes. the 980s and 960s are fine

Running 2k in shadows of mordor ultra textures. Afterburner shows the ram at 3.5+ And I get major stutters even with gsync with my 2x970s on my swift monitor and my fps hits the low 20's....
It's the only game that does bugger up I am just hoping the games for the next 12-18 months won't need more then 3.3gb of gpu ram for playing at 2k with all the setting on ultra.
I now have the KFA2 GeForce GTX 980 "Hall of Fame Edition" in my basket. Up to this point I have never had a problem with Nvidia and I am going to stick with them for now. If we boycotted large corporations for every "bad move" then I for one would not shop at any of the leading supermarkets, would definitely not have an iPhone and would have to throw out nearly all my clothes.
Matrix and HOF are the best 980's !!!
Agree. I will now never buy a nvidia card at launch. I will, and I suspect anyone aware of this debacle and with more than one brain cell, will wait and see whether the card is gimped.

I wouldn't waste your breath.
LOL
I have little sympathy being forthright for people who buy cut down cards and then complain when they find out it's arguably more cut down than they first thought it was when they originally bought the cut down card.

wow how many times have they been posted already?
This was so funny first time I saw it, I started laughing out loud while in bed. Needles to say the wife was not impressed

they need to sell existing stock so they can reinvest this money, but the 380X will still destroy Nvidia in 3 months time
this is because Nvidia have no plans for 6/8GB mid range cards, unless they change their minds..........
the Titan Z is in direct competition with the later 390X and not the 380X, the 380X has no rival
only their own 290X 8GB..Nvidia are in real trouble now, they have no cheap mid range card for this year at 8GB do they:...the 970 is effectively Dead or will be soon, just look at page 1 Googlethe future for 4GB RAM cards is over......... but it looks like Nvidia have ignored this, their best bet is to fix the 970 and release it at 8GB
