They'll take them apart, clean them up (new backplate too) and re-package them of course! With the proper specs on the boxes of course
Well, that's what I would do

Has anybody had any luck with this? https://twitter.com/amd_roy/status/560462075193880576

I was playing Dying Light earlier(MAX everything, patched to 1.2.1), using 3.6GB maxed @ 1440p(Asus PB278Q). Ran great, a few drops below 60FPS but it appears many PC users, not just 970 users are having the same issue, the game is gorgeous.
I wish people would stop worrying so much about something they have never experienced.
I submitted a post in this thread earlier regarding 2hrs of ultra DA:I performance, while watching a 1080p stream on my 2nd monitor. No one replied. Seems only the bad reports get noticed, all sheeple. I guess that's why the broadsheet press like the Sun get sales, people only want to hear drama and bad stuff. Good luck sending your 970's back and giving companies even more money for a non issue. Suckers! The human race is very depressing sometimes.

Bought my card (asus strix) from a competitor (oc were out of stock at the time if mem serves) and I know that I will have no chance getting a refund on it. Contacted Asus who just gave me the generic speak to your reseller type response. Only bought in December and to be fair has been spot on, only got wind of this issue the other day as I was about to order another card to sli with from Overclockers.
I game on an Asus Swift so I will most likely have to take a hit and sell on the mm. I can then order a 980 which Is what I should have done in the first place.
On the bright side at least I did not pay out for a wc block due to waiting on stock to land and thus voiding the warranty. I have always purchased EVGA in the past and after this will never trust another brand again (aside from Overclockers), as aftersales service whilst seldom needed is missed most when not there!!!

Very true.
Came across a MSI rep on another forum saying MSI will support all their partners in the UK (insert several other large online retailers names here). So most ppl should have no problems getting refunds for their MSI GTX 970 cards.
Looks like Gibbo was right when he said he has a feeling MSI will be supporting more retailers.

Feel for you, seen customers asking for help on their dead forum and FB page, they just seem to be ignoring customers and spouting same old script.
This is how OcUK is different good or bad news we keep our customers informed around the clock and are very pro-active, when I was made aware of this last Tuesday meetings were had with the owners, then our sister company Caseking the following day announced they would take all RMAs back at their own cost. OcUK had to do a lot more work in the background due to volumes sold but that following day we had a meeting with EVGA and other board partners and launched that certain brands we could now take returns on as they had agreed to support OcUK. We then gave the remaining brands a deadline (end of week) as we intended to accept all cards back with or without their help, so potential big financial cost to OcUK but thankfully nearly all brands gave us a positive answer by our deadline, others soon came back to us after we made our public announcement and only Gigabyte was left in the end who promised us an answer by next week, but OcUK will cover all cost should they not support us.
This is how OcUK is different, I fight like crazy to get customers best deals, exclusives, customer support and will happily work around the clock to achieve it.
I hope those guys sort you out I really do and if they do not in say a week or so let us know and we shall see if we can step up and sort what they failed to do.
Incredible, truly incredible

Nope, email from Roy said to stand by, heard nothing since.

MSI seem to know that NVDIA dropped a large clanger.

Got offered 10% off a xfx 290x from an unspecified E-tailer (probably be more expensive than OCUK)
I had chat via Customer Service forum with Bailey OcUK and he kinda put my mind at ease about the situation. TBH I've not had much issue or noticed it on my Sli 970 setup.
So I'm in two minds as what to do, yes upgrading to 980's would be nice but the cost ! Or switch over to the 290x.
My cards have the early EVGA ACX 1.0 cooler which was rapidly replaced by the 2.0 but that's not seemed to have affected any clocks I've done and certainly not a reason to RMA.
The only reason I seem to have for RMA is upgrade path option.
I have till end of Feb to decide anyway...

Yea take your time. What Nvidia done was wrong in a lot of ways but if the cards work good for you and your satisfied then changing might be the wrong move. What I would do is punish Nvidia in your next purchase if Amd present a good option.

Some will, judging from some of the comments here though they are going to reward Nvidia instead.

I game at 1080p and never had a problem with mines, and now with all this carry on from nvidia it has me contemplating going to red side. But I too will weigh up options till end of February and think what games i play and plan to play to see if any future problems will arise.

Yea for some Nvidia is a must though as they are stuck in there eco system with 3d or G-Sync. Others just think Amd are not up to scratch for some stupid reasons like drivers even though Nvidia drivers have been going through a rough patch. Nvidia need reminded not to take there customers for granted.

I will be sticking with nVidia. Much ado about nothing has been made over this and from various sites testing, there is nothing there that would have been scrambling for the RMA request.
