[QUOTE=eirexe;50792008]Well, the card was advertised as having 4 gb of VRAM so yes, it is advertised and designed to handle up to 4 GB of VRAM.[/QUOTE] that's completely ignoring that consumers who pay attention to available VRAM expect it to all be available in the same fashion rather than suffer foul side effects just by fully utilizing the product which is why nvidia lost the case [editline]29th July 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Code3Response;50791857]Do you struggle with reading comprehension? aka- You cant right now.[/QUOTE] it means that the news outlet didn't have knowledge of the means not that [I]nobody on the internet[/I] does the irony goes on and on with you, doesn't it?
[QUOTE=eirexe;50792008]Well, the card was advertised as having 4 gb of VRAM so yes, it is advertised and designed to handle up to 4 GB of VRAM.[/QUOTE] That is not what I said. Your car's spedometer goes up to hundreds of kmh, does that mean it's meant to handle those kind of speeds? There are other factors involved than just the VRAM.

A better comparison would be a company advertising an 8-cylinder engine when in reality there's only 7 connected to the crankshaft and one other off doing its own thing.

[QUOTE=Thunderbolt;50790338]Free $30, nice Watch this be US only or some shit[/QUOTE] uhh, so american courts should dictate what happens in your country?
[QUOTE=space1;50803502]uhh, so american courts should dictate what happens in your country?[/QUOTE] under a few assumptions: nvidia is a US-based company nvidia's marketing was a worldwide falsehood it would be reasonable to say that a US court might punish a company more justly by demanding that it issue refunds to all those who purchased it it's not an american court dictating the actions of another country, but rather an american court dictating the actions of a company within its own country to make amends for global sales
It was pretty easy to get a partial refund at the time of the controversy anyway, I know some people got 50% refunds, I was given a 20% refund.
Do you think only 970s directly from Nvidia count, or do 970s from other companies like MSI and Asus count as well?

A tiny minority if most GPUs come directly from the manufacturers
Do I get $30, as I bought one

[QUOTE=space1;50806008]it's not that I wouldn't want that to happen, I just don't think the US has the authority to decide this.[/QUOTE] it certainly does if the company is rooted in the US it doesn't affect or control any other country or other country's company [editline]31st July 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=CakeMaster7;50805783]But the card actually had and used 4 GB of VRAM.[/quote] -> [QUOTE=bitches;50794310]that's completely ignoring that consumers who pay attention to available VRAM expect it to all be available in the same fashion rather than suffer foul side effects just by fully utilizing the product which is why nvidia lost the case[/QUOTE]

I wish video game publishers got what they deserve in that regard aswell.
