Nvidia Gets Sued Over GTX 970 False Advertising
http://www.overclock3d.net/articles/gpu_displays/nvidia_gets_sued_over_gtx_970_false_advertising/1
Last month the dirt hit the fan when news came out that Nvidia falsely advertised the GTX 970 as a 4GB card, while the last .5GB of the GPU didn't perform the way it is supposed to, alas it was a lot slower. Consumers didn't like this and refunds were requested on a large scale. But for some people, a refund just isn't going to cut it, as one person has actually sued Nvidia for false advertising. With this, the consumer also sued Gigabyte, because the person bought two Gigabyte GTX 970s.
The lawsuit stated that the last .5GB performed '80% slower than it's supposed to, which can lead to stuttering images on high-res screens and poor performance in some games.' Nvidia declined to comment on the lawsuit, and Gigabyte couldn't be reached, states PCWorld.
I response to the memory issue, Nvidia acknowledged the problem, and stated that although it's true that the 970 uses a different memory subsystem than its bigger sibling, the GTX 980, the performance hit is negligible.
The lawsuit was filed last Thursday, and is on behalf of all consumers in the U.S. that bought a GTX 970.
