But, end of day, nobody really cares about your opinion.
It's just pity we can't stop you sharing it.

Hi Guys,
I’m Rick, a Product Manager for NVIDIA based here in the UK. Although I read the Overclockers forums a lot and work with the guys here, this is my first post.
I want to just start by saying sorry, wemfessed up.
We posted the wrong GTX 970 spec and we did not fully explain the memory architecture, and I get why you guys are so annoyed.
However, I feel the GTX 970 is still an amazing card and one we are really proud of and I believe it is still the best card you can buy for the money.
If you’ve got any specific questions I’ll do my best to answer them.
Thanks
Rick
You might be very surprised, as Gibbo has already said he's sold more this Mon/Tue than last Mon/Tue thats after this 'story' broke.
If I had known I may not be able to take full advantage of the 4gb of Vram I would not have chosen a 970 ... simple as .. that's not hearsay that's fact.
I haven't been banging on about im going to do this that and the other with my credit card. but I do ask questions as to where I stand with rights so I can make an informed decision for myself.
I was asking someone a question , who quite nicely said fire away. I was asking you nothing.
Wow... What a load of rubbish is in this thread ! I feel sorry for retailers selling this card, they didn't know about it when they sold them, same as the end user ? Looks like your gonna have to wait & see what the out come is rather than speculation... I'm off to buy a 980...
That has changed. hasnt it?
You can take advantage of the full 4gb, so if that's your basis for choosing the 970 nothing has changed.
The credit card comments were in general.
I'm sure when Rik re-appears he will answer you, although you are in a forum where everyone discusses almost everything that is said, you might be wise to remember that or if you want a one to one discussion with Rik and no-one else to respond then trust him.
Well Rick@Nvidia never lasted long.

I actually feel sorry for Rick (if he really exists, rather than a random identiy that Nvidia created). Nvidia basically send him to the front line as a foot-soldier and order him to reclaim lost ground, while not providing him with any weapon and ammunition and no air support whatsoeverClassic Nvidia rickrolling if you ask me!![]()
Poor chap peeped over the battlements and took an arrow to the face![]()
Nvidia sold a 4GB card. The card has 4GB of VRAM. Yes, not all of it accessible at the maximum speed, and it's split into 3.5GB and 0.5GB, but it's still 4GB. Unless it is advertised as being accessible at maximum speed, there isn't actually any false advertising going on.
It was obviously an architectural decision, for whatever reason. We will probably never know the answer as to why it was done.
I am going with it was more misscommunication of information, or a mix up somewhere, rather than deliberate lying. Maybe this teaches us a lesson to buy EVGA![]()
