I'm with you but you shouldn't play it down so much. What Nvidia did was clear fraud and they are absolute morons to think they could get away with it. The ridiculous thing is just the overreaction of the people, most of which aren't even affected by the defect. |
Not downplaying it, just stating the facts. nVidia are complete idiots for trying to pull this off, but honestly, card has 4GB, it's just that last 512MB are slower (and according to some benchmarks, like on Guru3D, it's not really such a big issue, except for few higher latency spikes). Honestly, IMO, bigger lie was that card has 64 instead of revised 56 ROPs.
As for people saying that this 512 MB are so important for future proofing - I'd say if they want to be future proof, they better wait for 6GB cards, cause neither 3.5GB nor 4GB cards seem to me quite future proof.
