Here is a small little petition that started yesterday afternoon
There's 568 supporters ATM

nvidia engineers had misunderstanding with the pr and falsely displayed 64 rop but when you use gpu z the bios report says 64 rop so did the pr team write the bios ??

Won't see it going anywhere but signed anyway
Before I do initiate my "14 day satisfaction guarantee" or my "no coil whine guarantee", how likely is it that I'd break the 3.5GB limit with SLI 970's at 1080p and max settings over the next 24 months?
10 - 15% refund or free game would make up for it.
And a price drop to reflect the changed specs.
Well if you break 3.5GB on a 970, you will also break 4GB on a 290, so your only real options would be 8GB 290, GTX980, or a Titan.
The only reason the GTX970 is so cheap to begin with is because of compromises like this
Most people are just throwing their toys out of the pram because their GTX970 is not as close to GTX980 as they thought it was after having saved well in excess of £200.
The only reason the GTX970 is so cheap to begin with is because of compromises like this, if you want a fully functional core you have to pay the premium for it (GTX980). The weird thing is, if NVidia had released GTX970 with 3.5GB RAM and slightly smaller bus (if technically possible) at the same price point it would still have been hugely popular. Most people are just throwing their toys out of the pram because their GTX970 is not as close to GTX980 as they thought it was after having saved well in excess of £200. Taking the whole package into account it's still a better card than anything AMD currently offer.
IMO the 970 is a 1080p card any way, so it should be finebut know this; Nvidia always launch their cards with just enough of everything "for now".
They want to keep you coming back.
VRAM is obviously reasonably cheap. On the 4gb 670 for example the premium was only £40 or so. But Nvidia do not want your card to last four years, they want it to last until the next time they have a new card that they want you to buy.
AMD are not as shrewd and you usually get a far higher memory bandwidth and a fair chunk of actual memory.
Every Vram level will get broken at sometime
and the 290 4GB has it over the 970
And there is no 6 or 8 GB GTX980 so that comes off the your recommened more than 4GB list.
