For 1080p, and even for not-Crysis3/Witcher3 1440p gaming, the 970 is perfectly fine.

Yes, nVidia DID lie. Yes, it only has 3.5GB of fast VRAM. But the difference between a 4GB card and a 3.5GB card is minuscule.

It's a very capable card. It's still better than a 2GB R9 280.
>>
>>52051618
>>52051687

It's not that simple. The card reports itself as a 4GB card and games change their behaviour based on that to make the most of the 4GB it claims to have available, and load all the textures they can into VRAM. If you're lucky the card's memory management is intelligent enough to put the shit it doesn't need in that last 0.5GB. If you're unlucky, it needs something from the 0.5GB and has to spend a cycle accessing only that memory, which is when you get stuttering out the wazoo.

It's okay, you can fill it till it almost tops 3780mb, then it will start using the pagefile.

Even GTA V which already fills 3778mb runs without problems or stutter, even the 3GB 780Ti runs fine and it only has 3GB.

Yes the 3GB 780Ti will run fine if not better, because the game knows it only has 3GB to play with so it doesn't eat RAM like babies. The overreporting is the big issue.

>>
>>52057305
I hope you are joking because what you said can't happen, the 780Ti will also use the pagefile after filling the 3GB.
>>
>>52057406
GPUs don't use page files, retard.
>>
>>52057406
Wait, it will go from the vram straight to the pagefile? Won't it try the regular ram first?
>>
>>52057455
They do use virtual memory, which is linked to the pagefile.
They have done that since forever, my 9600GTX also did that.
>>
>>52057459
If you got 8GB of ram it will fill it about 6GB and no further.

A GTX970 isn't even that bad. You won't go over 3.5gb any time soon unless you run GTA V with very hd texture mods or something similar.

Get another one and run them in SLI for 4k gayman performance.

>>
>>52057663
There`s a caveat on that: because of the memory overhead when accessing the crossbar, using the 970 on SLI will actually raise the memory issue exponentially. So instead of a 4% loss of efficiency, on SLI you have a 16% loss and not a 8% as you'd expect. It should still be enough for 4K, but it would be a pretty inefficient solution.

I suppose though that if you already have a 970, you could extend it's service life by getting another and making it SLI down the road (hopefully, the price will have dropped sharply by then due to the fiasco). But I wouldn't recommend getting an 970 if you intend to SLI from the get-go.

Yeah if you're a fucking retarded idiot who loads the highest res textures possible despite knowing the vRAM limitations of this device.

You're a fucking retard TRYING to make it hit that 3.5GB limit and sure, you'll be able to hit it in plenty of games. But if you aren't being autistic and turn your textures to a sane level, none of that shit will stutter.

Also modded skyrim stuttering? MODDED skyrim meaning you have super high res textures, HUURRRRR DURRR.

Anyway OP, I wouldn't listen to what half these guys say about hardware. In this day and age you can get a mid range card and it'll last you years, this one you have now is actually pretty fucking good imo

1080p and 1440p the 970 will be fine for anything aside GTA 5 and LOTR for RAM. I've never had stutter. 1080p 60FPS in effectively every game. Good card. Don't be a retard. The worst of the top 10 cards available is still very very good. I'm a team red guy. Just happen to have a 970.

"It's a great card, guise! It just doesn't run recent games that are available today!"
Also, if we're already seeing games making the 970 be shit now, imagine what it will be like in the coming years as VRAM demand increases.

Some of you idiots seem to think that there is a specific ammount of VRAM that's good for a given resolution and it will never change. That's wrong, you retard, VRAM demand increases over time at the same resolution. Years ago 1 GB was plenty for 1080p gaming, then it was no longer enough and you needed 2 GB, now 2 GB is no longer enough and you need 3 GB. It won't be long before you need 4Gb for most new releases, and then everyone who bought a 970 will have a shit useless card. Hell, people who bought a 960 4 Gb will be better off, since they will have lower FPS but won't need to deal with the stutterfest.

>Good card.
It's worse than the competitor for the same money. It's defective memory will hurt it's longevity. And it doesn't support async compute, a basic DX12 feature. It's not a good card by any stretch of imagination.

>>
>>52068486
No you can play modded games fine, but if you mod your game to use super high res textures that will fill up your 3.5GB of vRAM, then no shit it's gonna stutter.

Mod whatever the fuck you want, just keep vRAM usage under 3.5GB and you'll never run into stutter.

90% of games can have 2k or even 4k textures just fine at 1920x1080 with 3.5GB of vRAM, the only issues come in when you start using retardedly high amounts of vRAM, which only happens if you're an idiot and don't know what the fuck you're doing or you're specifically trying to do it.
