avoid all gtx 970's at all cost!

There is a major problem with ALL gtx 970's, please avoid at all costs. the card is not actually 4GB, it is really 3.5GB, once you access the last 500mb of vram you will have horrible frame drops making whatever you are doing unplayable, the company has already acknowledged that this is an issue due to its archetype structure. just search gtx 970's slow into a search engine . this wont be getting fixed by a patch either so AVOID ALL GTX970's. you may not have problems now, but if you want this card to last into the future, having access to that last 500mg of ram THAT YOUR PAYING FOR, will be crucial to the lifespan of the card and not worth the investment! AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID!
