I'm stuck with a gtx970. How bad am I fucked by the 3,5 gb meme? I play on 1440 exclusevely.
>>51878360
>Hey, I bought this food and I'm really hungry..TELL ME WHAT TO DO /G/?
Fucking hell, go play some games and find out yourself.
Do games work properly? If so, you're not fucked. Also, you can hardly be "stuck" with a high-end GPU like that. It's a great piece of hardware.
>>51878360
I'm stuck with a gts 450.
>>51878399
I'm abroad and won't go back till the 23rd.
>>51878360
as you said it's a meme
970 it's really a nice card
don't be a fa/g/
It's really not that big of a deal. I have the same card, play any game ultra settings just fine in 1080p. In 1440p more like high settings.
>>51878360
Moar!
>>51878425
Gts 450 is a god card ran for me any game
But I got a new pc and I dont know what to do with my old card
>>51878360
You'll be ok

It was a gift actually. I can't quite as my girlfriend to send it back now can I?
Little girls smell the best.
>>51878360
I play ultra 1440p and never exceed 3gb
most games hover around 1500mb
>>51878691
I don't think those benchmarks are trustworthy...
I have that card. Every single one of my games suffer from microstutter of some kind. It's really frustrating.
I play at 1080p60
>>51880218
Stop lying m8, I haven't had any issues whatsoever with my 970 at 1080p 60fps.
And you should also stop using youtube resolution
>1080p60
It just makes you seem retarded.
>modern consoles only do 1080p in rare circumstances
>bro I got a 4k tv PS4 is gonna look sweet
>>51878405

>>51878425
This. OP is a whiny bitch. You can't be "stuck" on a fucking $340 gtx 970 that gets 60fps ultra at 1440p
>>51882260
Good. The more idiots we have buying into 4k the cheaper enthusiast models will get.
I wish to be a little Japanese girl and wear cute clothes. Pls help

I'm stuck with a GT640.
Youre not stuck with shit OP.
Nvidia 8800GT here :3
>>51885410
o shit thats still my favourite card
>>51885669
BFFs :3
>>51878444
I hope you get in a plane crash.
you're fine, muh 3.5 only becomes an issue if you use settings that wouldn't be playable in the first place (forcing 8 or 16x aa in nvidia control panel and the like)
>>51885774
W-why? :(
>>51880218
Defragment your shitty HD.

Whats up with that bulge? Trap thread?
Yeah and I'm stuck with a GT 610, bitch please...
Guys I'm not whinning about the card, I'm just asking how much truth there is to the meme. I said I'm stuck because I knew people would say something like "return it and get X" and that's out of the question since it was a gift.
I sold my 970 for a amd 390 8gb. It's way better for the same price and I think the 970 price will drop now because ppl will do the same and sell the 970
You are fine now in 95% of the games.
Real problems rise when/if devs start to use more vram but now its pretty great card. Some games will pose a problem, for example ARK uses 4gb+ vram and due to shitty code is very memory intensive. It boils down to how long are you gonna keep the card.
>>51878950
>>51883652
$300 is "a lot" for a GPU these days?
The 970 is a trap card and nobody should help nvidia with this shit. Buy a 980 or 390 / 390x or the fury. In one year 3,5 gb will fuck you. But nobody want to buy this shirts card than and you sit on this craps forever
The GTX 970 is a great card OP. Don't worry. Ignore the trolls and memes.
GTA 5 without mods 3,5gb sometimes you got fps drop, with mods you need 5-6gb the 970gtx cant handle this. My Fallout4 4k mod need 4+gb vram the 970 cant handle it. This card is crap and for this price its a fucking piece of shit.
only kids they got the 970gtx say "its a good card " because they cant change it and cry because they got a trap card.
>>51888024
Surely people that actually own it would have a better idea than people that just shitpost about the 3.5 meme.
>>51888073
its not a 3.5 problem its 4gb is to low boy. U need 8gb for 4k. Look at GTA V or Fallout 4 4k mod or ARK.
ill sell my 970gtx msi because my wife buy a 4k for me for chrismas.
>>51888110
none of the cards on the market right now are capable of running GTA V or Fallout 4 at 4K 60fps.
>>51879082
>heh you're fucked you got 3.5 meme butts
No game even uses this at 1440 and 1080, except maybe gta v, and it only takes a few settings to get it down
>>51888153
not in 4k ... 4k textures on 1080p. you know nothing john snow. btw fallout 4k
>>51888209
>Shitout 4
Literally who gives a shit about that abomination anyway?
>>51888153
wtf? The problem is 4gb is way to less. If you use some setting in the driver you use more than 4gb vram easy even in FullHD. The 970gtx is a fake card.

Im stuck with an Intel HD 2000 POS
My 970gtx stuck on 46fps at my unreal 4 tech demo with oculus dk2. The stutter bring me to puke, now im on a 390 and 90fps. 970gtx was the worst piece of hardware i ever buy.
>>51887863
Yeah but now a days if your gaming in 2k and want are playing games that use more than 3.5 GB of gram you should invest in something a bit better like a 980 or a radeoven 390x
970 is dead 390 or faggot
>>51878360
>Calling a hardware bug a meme
Fuck yourself, shitposter
I don't know. For some reason many games use 3300mb VRAM when I don't think they should, like planetary annihilation and anno 2205 for example.
>>51878464
More gtx970?

>hardware bug
>>51888954
It's not a bug, it's an intended feature retard. Nvidia did do false advertising, but the 3.5 + .5 was never intended to actually be 4gb.
Read up on chipset architecture before shitposting, you brainless faggot.
guys im confused now.
the 970gtx got 4gb of vram not 3.5gb
>>51889158
Gr8 b8 m8.
>>51885774
lel
>>51878360
Good luck with 30-45fps on medium settings
I'm stuck with fucking 960, worst purchase of my life. Good good, the coil wine.
>>51889260
Shitposting at its finest.
>>51889027
says 4gb on the box not 3.5gb
when will nvidia and amd release their next set of cards? i know nvidia is doing some passcal thing and amd said they were releasing 2 new cards in 2016
>>51889323
And he's still baiting! I'm amazed.
>>51889323
Do you have reading comprehension shortcomings or are you just plain retarded, anon?
>>51889323
>Uhhh how could Trump be bad for America? Look at what his hat says!
>>51889382
>>51889323
The 500mb of ram on a slow pipeline means it's almost useless. It's like buying a bag of chips, and 1/8 of them are extremely stale. Did you really get a full bag of chips?
>>51878360
Its a dumb fucking meme and that's all it will ever be, Killing Floor 2, GTA V, Black Ops 3, Fallout 4, Skyrim with ENB and 4k/8k textures, and Battlefront all use my full 4GB with no fucking issues whatsoever, no stuttering go framerate drops, not even hitching.
>>51878360
unless you've got $600 to drop on a 980ti then you're fine. plays all current games at decent quality settings at 1440p
>>51889480
Isn't the R9 390 a better card for cheaper? (not op)
>>51889440
Except in Trump's case it's true.
>>51879035
>little girl smells the best
uh, its the opposite to be exact. its the dirty smell of university dorm x 10. they stain everything they touch, messy, prince and princess complex.
too bad 4chan is full of dillusionals.
btw, 970 isnt that bad even with whatever meme throws at you. at least you're not using a amd 7790 and being poor now.
>>51888158
I game at 1080p with my 970 and experience vram usage over 3.5 gb and fps drops in the following games:
Rust
Dayz
Arma 3
And several others that I'm forgetting.
>>51889501
Ye you are right sir. But nvidia fanboys cry hard about that and got a better card for the same price that can handle gta v with all mods and fallout 4 with 4 k mod and the 970 break down to 10 fps because the ram issiue.
>>51889440
Hernie Sanders supporter detected
>>51878360
Nihonjin shougakusei are very precocious and fashionable.
It's a fact that the 970 got problem with more than 3,5gb vram.
It's fact that many games and driver setting go easy over 3.5 vram.
It's fact that amd got the 390 for the same price with better performance and no ram problem.
>>51889456
Yes, a full bag is a full bag you twit
I'm really going to miss posting this masterpiece.
>>51889554
You just listed three horribly optimized incredibly CPU bound games, nice work there genius.
>>51889661
>willingly buying food where 1/8 of it is inedible garbage
Typical nvidia fanboi
>>51889658
Except the 390 has a horrid heat problem. When you factor in the fact you need a an aftermarket gpu cooler for it, the "same price" meme reveals itself false.
>>51889724
I have a 290 though anon
>>51889721
Three very popular games that lag badly after exceeding 3.5 gb and should be considered before buying a 970*
FTFY
>>51889750
So?
All the guys with a 970 are act like a bitch.
The buy a 4gb vram card and find out that over 3.5 gb the card sucks ass and still protect nvidia and say to everybody the should buy this peace of shit.
Like a bitch that I slap in the face every day. But she tell to the other ppl no my boyfriend is the best.
>>51889750
I'm not an Nvidia fanboy
>>51889767
ARE YOU INDAIN!?!?!?!?!
>>51889728
No the 390x maybe but not the 390.
My 390 fan never go over 40% speed.
>>51878425
I'm stuck with a R7 250E
>>51889805
Where do you live?
>>51889728
In this case I can buy a better cooler but I can't buy more vram faggot
>>51889835
Cz why?
>>51889840
Yes you can retard. Buy a better card. The point is, comparing the 390 with the 970 as if they were on the same price range is stupid.
>>51889855
Because you live in a cold place to begin with. I live in fucking Miami.
>>51889876
There are on the same price level. Ok the 970 drop because all sell the 970 to buy a 390.
Look at the shops 970 ~20$ cheaper
>>51889895
In the summer I got 35c in the shadow and my card work fine ... But it doesent matter you can go to 80 -90+ without problem and it dosent matter if it is 15 or 40 c outside. Btw buy a cooler for ya house.

What a masterpiece rip 970
Itil hit you on games like ARK And GTA. Ice seen my use age over 4 on occasion.
>>51885774
This.
My 970gtx can use 8 gb of my ram you faggots no fps drop . I'll buy 8 gb of ram to get 16gb ddr 3 ram and I bet the 970 can use it.

>>51890087
Hue hue hurrrrr hurrrre
>>51889759
Are you retarded? Those games lag because of CPU and optimization issues, not cause of 3.5 gb memes.
>>51890294
No it's fact that the fps drops comes from the 500mb slow pipe retard
>>51878405
>high end

it's a midrange card you nigger.
Name 5 nonconsoleshit/nonXTREMGRAFIX games that will hit 4gb at 1080p.
