i tried dying light today 970 sli maxed out at 1400p v sync on and no stutter solid 60fps.
i have ocuk 970's with nvidia cooler and as hard as ive tried i cant find anything wrong with them, could be samsung ram or some vendors have cheaped out on parts i dont know
Gibbo and Bailey,
I would like to just say a thank you for all the effort and spending the time to reply on the forum and keeping us updated
I am going to return my 970 but I will be buying another gpu which I will make sure is from OCUK and like all my future parts I buy will also be from you. along with future builds for myself and friends who need them!
the customer service is amazing and this is why people use OCUK.
thanks again Gibbo, Bailey and any others that have had a part in getting this far with the issues
People saying you can return!! But I got this from CS
Hello
Things changed????????
The status at the moment is:
Any customer outside 14 day grace period, we will not accept returns on 970’s due to the internet rumours. Until NVIDIA tell us otherwise or it is proven NVIDIA has miss-sold the product under no circumstances must we take an RMA back due to this. Of course if within 14 days no issue that is the law.
OcUK has not advertised ROPS, SMU’s or L2 cache and neither has NVIDIA, if reviewers have done so that is upto them.
We are clear, NVIDIA are clear, until as such it is proven that NVIDIA are not clear we won’t be accepting returns, so we see no fault and until NVIDIA inform us otherwise we won’t be accepting RMA’s based on threads in forums on the internet.

It 100% does. There is zero different between single and SLI in regards to frame times.
While looking about about the gtx 970 I found this.

Worth a read maybe and makes me think how nvidia will fix it.

Sounds more like they will try and hide the issue in drivers, as in everything will be in the 3.5GB rather than fixing it...which they cant! As an SLI 970 owner I look forward to see what they do, but as I will reiterate I have no issues and I'm at 1440p.
. I am jumping to amd with there... 980 as well shoulda gone to Specsavers ;)
the expectation of a driver fix/improvement now appears to have been rather overstated and the rep has been forced to backtrack and edit his post in the Gerforce forum. See from this page forward: & the original post:While looking about about the gtx 970 I found this.

They are talking about making the os sit in the slower memory. However, Im just sat at the windows desktop and it shows 612mb being used in Vram so its already over the threshold. The articles also say that the GPU cannot access both the 3.5gb and .5gb memory at the same time which again is going to be a performance hit.
Theres too many what if's for me personally but if your rig is ok then goodbut for me its not.

That's a major plus for g-sync then, wonder if Freesync will help with crossfire stutter to?![]()
