Thread of Fail

Believe it or not, it's not related to this. The card DOES use 4GB but doesn't use the last 0.5gb effectively nor smoothly.

Battlefield or Fifa, running in 1080p will not peak past 2.5gb or memory. The only time really this 970 memory "issue" plays in effect is in 4k games, and you would be daft to play 4k without 2 in SLI anyways.

The 3.5gb basically is not related to this particular problem and was confirmed by EVGA as it would be a performance problem not a complete crash. It's a situation people are taking too harshly in my opinion anyways as I said above, you won't experience the loss of 0.5gb without a serious rig, just the fact Nvidia lied effectively. It's still the best card bang for your buck running of statistics but indeed it could be even better.
