970's having performance issues using 4GB Vram - Nvidia investigating

[Darkpilgrim]

Gibbo, how long will the refund offer be valid for, i don't get paid for another 2 weeks so wont be able to get it back to you until then.

End of feb was stated earlyer

 

[Awahwah]

My GTX970 has been returned and refunded today - great service from all.

I decided to order a GTX980, which I hope will turn up tomorrow

With 4GB.
No, Really.

Haha, that interview video had me in tears at my desk.

 

[Gibbo]

Good to hear MSI may support all sellers when it comes to returns/refunds

Went to the other major seller site where i got mine,wanted to see if their forums had a statement or anything regarding the issue,turns out their 'forum' is a dead link,why am i surprised?

No other competitor has a forum that can even rival ours, we are no.1 and hugely pro-active, many have tried to copy us and all have failed.

Nvidia must be loving all those who are RMA'ing and spending extra on a 980, I for one won't give them a penny more after this.

Hi

Can we expect full refund of what we paid for the card, even though it was bough 3 months ago?
If yes, I think 980 will be on my way soon.

Well that wasn't cringe-inducing at all. Nope, not one bit.

*vomits*

I never understood this, yeah the company might upset you, but never let your gaming experience suffer because you don't like the manufacturer.

If I hated Ford or in the past they messed me about, but they then released a car I wanted, I would buy the car, not gonna deprive myself of something I want because of a past issue.

@Gibbo, sorry for all the questions I'm not used to the AMD power draw and was wondering if my Corsair HX850 would be safe for an overclocked i7 4770k, Swiftech H320 Loop, 2 290x cards, case fans etc.

 

[WalderX]

This is a little disappointing from nVidia, however I still love the 970 and am just going to carry on with it. I upgrade card at least once per year anyway so doesn't bother me much. Summertime soonish and I don't play PC games much at all then.

Just about, try and see but should just about do it.

At times like this I wish I kept the box it came in, just got told my refund would be denied

 

[Legend]

Well as we have support, from all vendors there will be little to no b-grade I am afraid. Any B-grade 970's will be returns/repairs for other reasons.

How about the OCUK reference 970's? Would be interesting if they went up on B-Grade.

With OcUK?

If so get in touch with Bailey, I shall authorise it!

Thanks! I'm fairly clued up on PSU requirements, but I haven't been able to physically test many AMD cards.

 

[Andromeda1983]

Yeah just called and a nice young man said that I would have to send everything back, now I am a weird autistic guy and I try to keep my house nice and clean so I don't keep the boxes, well I do but rarely.

Thanks gibbo, i'll contact bailey

 

[jwilliamson47]

lol with hardware, I always keep the boxes.. other people get annoyed since the house is full of PC boxes
