After buying two of these cards a few weeks back I've been reading about how they were flawed and against manufacturing standards ie. product description. Now is there any sort of buyback from the companies (manufacturers) for these cards? Do we have any right to complain and expect our money back? Or is what they are saying not really a problem? Thoughts anybody?

GTX 970 returns ????

I bought them because it was from advice I had from the forums. They were reported as being fantastic. I'm looking at moving into the larger monitors (hence buying them). I was looking at the Asus pathway but with all the issues they've been having I've held off. To be honest it wasn't until I started researching the monitors that I came across the issues with the 970 .. imagine my surprise !!!!! And (as I have been asked) what would I replace them with? 980's ??
just to clarify i bought these cards on advice from good people on the forums (and as the person who clicked "buy") i dont blame them. the cards work fine at lower resolution on my 24inch 1920x1240 screen. but that is not the issue. i bought the cards to get me over the 1440 hump and beyond with a 27 inch monitor as a minimum. it was while looking at the monitors that i found there were issues with doing this. now even if i do manage to have the cards taken back i've still got a lot of money to hand over to move up to a pair of 980's AND then have to pay for a couple of monitors. if something is not as it is decribed on the box then i think it's the customer that has been screwed over at the very least. it should have nothing to do with amd vs nvidia or who said what in reviews or comments. fact is .. it is not what the manufacturers said it was and to me that is not good enough end of.
and thats the issue, they advertise 4k gaming and ultra resolution but when pushed there are severe problems. if i go ahead and buy a 4k monitor and use it as it was intended and i do have isssues then what do i do then? i see there are class actions by pc world underway and several more in the states ... wow is the problem that extensive?
sooooo .... in a nutshell ... if I stay with 1080 resolution all things are fine ... if I go 4k then I will have issues (even with gsync although it does help?) ...
ok
so if I bought the cards so I could then go 4k .. then I have a problem ..
hence ... I have a problem ...
