30fps is quite common for us PC gamers, we should know this by now with the amount of badly ported games we get thrown our way

The FPS doesn't matter if you get texture swapping and stuttering because the GPU is trying to renew the textures but can't due to a limited bandwith.
You can still get 60FPS and have severe texture stuttering... that isn't a problem. Just see those GTX 780Ti 3GB vs GTX Titan 6GB video's same FPS, but helluva lot in difference in smoothness.

That's something people don't realise is a real issue at 3.5GB+ usage for the GTX970. Im talking about a good overhead from 4GB not 4096mb VRAM bottleneck.

So the 970 doesn't have 64 rops?

I don't play games at 30 fps. What part of that didn't you understand? And as for your fangirls comment, you aimed that at anyone defending nVidia and didn't mean any girl who is a fan of nVidia. You are welcome to 30 fps as I said though.

Wasn't that turbocache?

I would be interested to see how many of the people are raging about 4k performance actually have a 4k monitor.
I'm more interested at people that bought a 970 to play on a 4k monitor, I need some cheering up.

Here is one for giggles
Indeed, like other developers said when Ubisoft tried to defend themselves: "30FPS is not more cinematic or an artistic choice, 30 FPS is a failure"
They are using Super Cache as a lol term. But you are quite right, Nvidias tech that let VRAM boil over into RAM was called Turbocache (AMD's was called Hypermemory).

If okcuk wont refund a faulty product i asume we can get trading standards and the credit card company involved. The cards were EITHER missold or are faulty... both are situations where a full refund is expected to the end customer.
Personally i am going to contact my credit card company and inform them that the trader will not accept back a faulty product and see what they say. Nvidia have admitted that the cards were not "as advertised" but are trying to use creative terms to make out it doesnt matter.... sorry lads UK law doesnt work that way.

Well, I bought them to game at 3440x1440, but ended up gaming on 4K instead.
And, honestly, they probably could have been fine for 4K on a two or three card setup.
Hell, I thought stuttering problems were driver related, and was patiently waiting for a fix.
Thats not likely to happen though, is it?
These cards "should" be fine for 4K, though not with High AA or uber type textures obviously, but people now have to reduce settings more than they should due to the memory config.
So are you guys now all saying these are mid-range cards or something? I thought people were touting them as Nvidias high end?
