Wrong. People not only here, but elsewhere are discussing, and have been discussing about how tech works, and not that it just works. More importantly, it may not meet advertising standards of certain countries and may be considered to be fraudulent advertising/ behaviour.
For what it is worth, i agree that gaming performance is what it is, and would remain unaffected for the benchmarks ran as they were at launch. Had this limitation been more public, more investigations into limitations and performance against competition could be evaluated in light of that information. It may also have affected the perceived value of the product. So yes, dodgy behaviour is being reported for that which it is. You don't care, well good for you, but then do not speak for everyone as you just tried to. Several other owners of the cards here and elsewhere, they are rather bemused, and ranging to dismayed.
There's nothing false about it. It is a 4GB card, can use all 4GB, they didn't misrepresent the number of SMM, ROPS, or the capabilities.
You also missed the part where I said forums like this one... so I wasn't talking about just AT. What I was getting at is that none of the major forums had anyone talking about gaming performance issues or stuttering with the 970 and it released back in September. You would think that if there was some major problem someone would have said something long before. We didn't see that.
Also don't get caught up in the hoopla created by new users on Nvidia's forums and people who may not even own a 970 or any Nvidia card calling for the pitchforks. Undoubtedly there's lots of people jumping on this with no personal stake in the situation.
Lastly I was not speaking for anyone whatsoever. I was saying and have always said that nobody said anything about it being a problem and then suddenly out of left field there are these wild claims about the card not being able to use 4GB which was proven false. Then goalposts kept moving until we're now at the point we are in this thread.
