The thing is that there is a point where 3.5 will struggle as opposed to 4gb. If you catch my drift !
you can buy another 2 if you like but you will still only have 4gb of Vram and be limited by that.
GOOD LUCK!
tommy still trolling. so sad.
If that's the case and the VRAM doesn't tally. What is the point of going SLI in the first place?
Yes but in all seriousness if your going past 3.5GB your also gonna be going past 4GB as well very soon.
But as I've already said and has being the case with all cards, reducing a texture setting in-game can have a minor effect on image quality but a drastic improvement in performance.
I'd rather game at 100fps with medium/high details in complete smoothness especially if on a 120Hz panel rather than game at say 50-60fps with massive stutters at high/ultra settings. I'd have a far more enjoyable experience from having much higher constant FPS.
Nvidia say they are happy to help if you want a refund, my question is what's Overclockers official stance on the whole refunds thing? I doubt many will want a refund as the 970 is still the best value for money card at least for me, but I just want to know my options are, I wanted a GPU that's future proof for years, Obviously 970 isn't as good as i thought it was, I was going to get another one to SLI with but that does little to the whole issue of VRAM.
There will be some word from OCUK today if NVidia don't come out with something.
And as far as I'm aware NVidia haven't said they are happy to help with a refund, a forum post from one of their employee's (no matter how senior) is not NVidia as a company saying anything.
Although I'd be pleased if I am wrong and missed were they have said that.

Depends on the game, right now a 980 will absolutely power through any game at 1440P, but next year who knows.
If you do come across a game which uses the 4GB up and it slows down, simply reduce a setting to bring the performance back up.

People are complaining about the stutter that occurs way before the 3.5GB threshold as seen on many frame-time analysis against the 980..
I don't see it my self but that's down to the awesome Asus Swift Gsync monitor.
GOOD LUCK!
I'm glad I held off purchasing a 970 now. I have been thinking of getting a g1 for ages, but in light of the vram issues, I think will now wait for the next tier of gpus or hope the gtx 980 comes down in price at some point.
