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

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.

I would jump onto a 290 and get better performance with a extra 50 pounds in my pocket.
Silly if they don't.
Let them stay loyal and next time they get screwed they cant complain.

Oh and before anyone says that's wrong you better check again.

Because it just is.

Its only tesilation nvidea have amd on.
You pick a benchmark that don't use nvidea tech and we can start talking numbers.

The 970 is no good for hi res displays,
Lot of cherry picking goes on with benchmark results for those who are payed by nvidea to promote there products.
Only way is to test things yourself like I did.
My results the 970 is slightly faster with games that use tesilaiton, You turn if off amd overtakes.
Hi res displays the 970 isn't much use, There are times 4 gig isnt enough
And this power usage is also a lie.
If you can control the temps of the amd the power usage difference is less than 10%
As I said before payed to promote there product.
