Yeah and it only takes a little sniff of possible success before two people become 20000 and the donations roll in for the legal fees.

Everyone has problems. Dismissing other people's gripes as "1st World Problems" is so terribly, terribly liberal left. There's always someone worse off than you, but it doesn't mean you've got to feel guilty when something is less than perfect in your life.
my gpu dont advertise that they are made under fair working conditions, apple do
am i not allowed to be here?

I didn't say you weren't.
I asked why you were.
Belittling peoples concerns suggesting they are "first world problems"...
It stinks of trolling more than contributing. So, are you in here to troll?
If the moaning bothers you, again, why are you in here?
*sniff* lol
calm yur balls
i wasnt talking about ur vram issues!
wow you guys get angry fast!!
I think this is all getting out of hand
If I needed a GPU today I would have no problem with buying a GTX 970.
Anyone else feel the same way.
As long as it was coil whine free
I think this is all getting out of hand

Nope - I was about to buy a third then read about all this.
Don't get me wrong, I like Nvidia and all (well, I like their drivers, that's about where it stops) but why would you knowingly buy a faulty product?
What I find odd is that the 970 is supposedly the same exact spec as the 980 with a slightly cut down core, correct? If so then why is the 970 broken yet the 980 is fine?
I'll stick my neck out for now and say it's a driver issue.

nope sold my sli msi gtx970 for a galax soc gtx980 best thing i done. Noticed some guy in shop today buying asus 970 wanted to warn him but dident seem fair to.
dont believe that for a second , i believe its by design nvidea 970 is so slow with regards to bw on the last 512mb / more. Just turns the card into a stutter fest as it constantly loading to vram etc. Lets not forget nvidea have actually done this before.
whats worse is they could have been honest about this because like myself people would have bought 2 970s or even 3 thinking they can power higher resulotuions but cant because there effectivly gimped by the vram bw issue.

Here's something interesting which kind of confirms that this issue is real and will affect any games/programs that use more than 3GB.
I tested with MSI Kombuster 3 (GPU Memory Burner) which loads up the memory and runs a 3D MSI logo.
The test loads in about 1 second if the memory selected is 1024md or 2048mb but when you choose 3073mb the program seems to try to use all available memory and actually takes quite a while (over 1 minute) before the MSI logo appears and even then it stutters for a bit like as if something is loading in from swap memory.
This is almost certainly to do with the current bandwidth issue. If you try to load ay other graphic program while that is running the MSI logo starts stuttering and comes down to a crawl or freezes for ages.
