Clearly that isn't what was said. Why you have to take things out of context is beyond me.

Would you like to explain what was taken out of context? Nvidia has made a statement wrt 970, and suggested that it is working as designed, so what is out of context? The ram? Well, their driver is already working around the segmented memory problem, by avoiding the .5gb as whenever that portion of vram is accessed, it makes one cringe, to say the least. By the way, if Nvidia can make a mistake and enrichen themselves, their shareholders, this poor sod can make a mistake which earns him nothing. May be you could show him just as much understanding as you're willing to show Nvidia.

It appears that the GTX 970 is working as intended.

So apparently the GTX 970 was deliberately designed to cause hitching and stuttering when accessing its last 500MB of VRAM.

Nothing more to see here, I guess.

First of all, this article is old news. Second of all, I think we are done with this lengthy dead horse beaten discussion. I am tired of the arguing and back and forth.
