Yes, nVidia lied. But 970 still performs as initially benched on numerous sites, so I really don't see what's such a big fuss about.


I don't get people that being lied to, can't "see what's such a big fuss about."

People eating this kind of sh*t are the reason why hardware/software makers are shoving unfinished or defective products down our throats!!!

People buy graphic cards based on benchmarks, not based on specs alone. And most people who got this card, if they have any basic knowledge and just a bit of common sense, bought it for 1080p/1440p - that's what this card is targeted at (just look up 1440p performance in Metro and Crysis 3 and see it's nowhere near 60fps).

nVidia has been pretty stupid to try to pull this off, but that doesn't change the fact that 970 is a great card, and that's based on real life performance.

I didn't say anywhere that it wasn't a good card!

What I can't understand is why so many people are eager to cover & even defend them when they lie & deceive their customers.

You can't act as if the difference between what they anounced  for the card & what it actually delivers as no consequence or hindrance to consumers!
