Sorry to ask for the 100th time but I've just bought a G1 970 from Ocuk recently, are you offering refunds on these? What's the criteria? But concerned by what I've been reading. Thanks

We are accepting now, if Gigabyte decisions next week is to support us then awesome, if not then we shall cover the cost ourselves but we are now taking all brands back.

You can return if your unhappy with it, it is still the best bang for buck performance card on the market though, bear in mind the problem is blown out of proportion, a lot of baiting and trolling happening making things seem far worse than they are.
The fact is 970 still offers the best package at sub £300 as a gaming graphics card.

Thanks, earlier in the thread you mention that if the rma is via ocuk that there may be other options to consider, is there any other options available?
I dont know why any 780 owner would get a 970 regardless, its almost a sideways 'upgrade'. The 980 is the one to go for from a 780.

So in trying to catch up with all of all this, we 970 owners buy a 4GB card, it isn't really 4GB. Nvidia back track on fixing it or at least helping the issues related to this and we can return them. This leaves our options of buying a 980 or going to AMD? I mean its great we can return them but then to fork out more money for another card seems a bit of a con which leaves me with swapping to AMD

people staying rather quiet about the game codes they got with their 970s, lol
RMA department can discuss with you.

Thanks for the speedy response. I may well return it and stump up the extra for a 980 tbh. I will start the RMA process off tomorrow when I'm off work. Which 980 to go for?

What about us who have used there game codes? No mention on this yet.
Normally we deduct a small amount for the gamecode, check with returns department when arranging for your RMA.
