Return rates less than 5% after GeForce GTX 970 VRAM Exposure

The last couple of weeks have been havoc in regards the mess Nvidia created with the GeForce GTX 970 VRAM mess. Over the past few weeks we have been talking with distributors here in the Benelux, and we are hearing that merely a handful of cards are in a return status with the bigger players. John Peddy research however claims this number is as high as 5 %.

Jon Peddie from JPR stated: "I have heard as many as 5 per cent of the buyers are demanding a refund from the AIB suppliers", a quite from Kit-Guru. Retailers are reporting just 1-2%, with two of the UK's biggest retailers offering refunds for the GPU, where they have until the end of this month to box up their GTX 970 and return it. Keep one thing in mind, not all resellers are actually offering the option to return the card, some of them do .. some don't.

So it seems that in the US the return rates are higher opposed to what we are seeing in the EU, and that number includes the regular RMAs as well. If you like to learn more about the VRAM where 3.6 GB is fast memory and the last 512MB is considered a slow partition alongside some down-scaling specs wise, have a peek here.

Percentage wise the Nvidia's reputation, we are sure, has a higher value damage wise.
