How cuck do you have to be when a company lies to you and still defend them?

Doesn't really matter if the lie is insignificant. I've been using 970 for 2 years now, never had any problems with it.

>>55872941
This desu, its only an issue with 4k iirc but the 970 isn't a 4k card anyways - if I was going to be using a 4k display I would've bought a 980 or whatever

>>55872890
How did they lie?
They stated 4gb, and it's capable of using the full advertised 4gb.

>>55872456
It does though. For example, when you play GTA5 on ultra at 1920x1080 it works fine, but when you play it at 1920x1200 it starts to run like ass because you now need that last half a gig of slow ass shit

I have to do trade offs, shadows some other settings if I want to increase AA.


What's even worse is that at 1440p 2xMSAA is still not enough.

I think most people agree it's shitty and Nvidia fucked over a lot of people, but the performance impact is minimal to not noticeable

Ok, to your original point, I don't think anyone is ok with it. I certainly am not with mine, and the fact that Nvidia settled a class action lawsuit shows that.

I'm just saying that the performance impact is minimal which makes the situation less dire than it would be otherwise

>>55875868

>>55875915

>>55873641
I did not consider those specifics when I bought the card. I considered that it performed very well for its price for others. After I bought it, it performed very well for its price for me. Maybe you were lied to - not me.

You mean $26.25?

most of the problems people see when getting to the 4GB usage mark are probably due to switching to system RAM rather than the slower 512MB section. I believe it is difficult to measure this but there is a significant performance drop on any card when this happens.
It has been revealed that the card is quite intelligent about when and how it uses the last 512 so that the performance impact is minimal.

>>55877404
That test is flawed anyway, it says how much of the vram it has allocated for the test at the top, and also to ensure nothing else is in vram before the test starts, which is impossible inside of Windows

A 980 only tests 3200MB with the same bench, and there is no question it has the full 4096, so unless you have something else besides a flawed test, I call bullshit.

>Texture unit count drops from 160 on the GTX 1080 to 120 on the GTX 1070 thanks to a loss of five SMs.
>It looks like NVIDIA has disabled one complete GPC rather than disabling SMs piecemeal across the GPU. ROP count remains the same though at 64, and of course the memory bus stays at 256-bit to go along with them.

This was the problem that caused the 970 memory issue, which they didn't do on the 1070.

>>55877404
Except that makes no sense.

Think about it, when you run a 970 on the benchmark it shows all 4096MB, but upon passing the 3587MB mark immediately starts to drop down in performance. If you put a 980ti in there, it won't detect all of the ram either; or so some people on the site say. I don't know. I don't have a 980ti.

If anyone has a GTX 1080, I suggest running the benchmark and seeing if it will detect the full 8GB of ram or if it will find 6.7GB as well.

If you like I can try and load up a game and get a screenshot of my 1070 using over 6.7GB of VRAM.

I'm just waiting for hard evidence instead of grasping at straws with a flawed test.

As I said before the way they cut down the chip is different than with the 970, which was what caused the problem

>>55877592
The game will just use ram instead of vram after the 6.7 mark

>>55877619
It's not flawed, you can select how much memory you want the bench to use.

>>55877624
Right, but the tool I use (Precision XOC) measures VRAM usage, specifically. If it's thrashing, it will show only the amount used on the card (2048MB in the case of my old 670.)

Gimme a sec.

>>55876019
Amazing how ncucks immediately turn on their damage control when someone criticises nvidia for doing something objectively wrong. smdh

>>55876143
This

If you compare >>55877345 to >>55877119 you will see there is a massive difference in how the card acts approaching the end of the test.
On the 970 (which had 3840MB assigned under proper testing conditions of no dwm, no background applications allocation VRAM) as it approached the final 512MB it slowed down. The 970 assigns that memory last as it is slower.

On the 1070 it was not run under ideal conditions, dwm is running and there are background applications, Chrome and maybe others in the sys tray, however there is no slow down as it reaches the end of the test.

This means that it is not, at least, the same configuration as the 970 which has 3.5+5, or in this case 6.7+1.3, which it couldn't have anyway because the 1070 has eight 1GB RAM chips (these have been seen with the cover off, there is no hiding what they are), at best it would be 7+1.

If someone with a 1070 would like to nail this shut I would suggest getting Nai's benchmark, running a game that will push your VRAM usage over 2GB and then run Nai's benchmark with GPU-z running to show usage, be sure to screenshot Nai's benchmark results (the DRAM bandwidth part, not L2 cache and GPU-z.
You will see a hit to the VRAM bandwidth due to the load of the game on the GPU but you will get full VRAM utilization and we would also see if there is any slow down on the final part of the VRAM (if it is like the 970 it will be assigned last so Nai's benchmark will be utilizing it, not the game).

I'd like to add when I ran Nai's bench on my 1060 it only allocated 5120MB to the benchmark, however when I used two games to push my VRAM usage higher the benchmark would then use all the remaining VRAM.
There was a performance hit to the VRAM bandwidth, but that is understandable from the games hitting the GPU.

No worries.

>>55877791
So, I did what you said. Gave it a run in Nai's and gave it a run in BF4.

Look below -- what we see is when we're using about 700MB on idle we're seeing about 7579MB of usage in Nai's Benchmark. You can also see that, in Nai's, the VRAM usage is FLAT. Because throughout the entire benchmark, it allocates a chunk of RAM, not releasing it until the program is closed. You can actually see that in the idle screenshot, that it looks like a solid block. If we take 7579 MB (the highest it reached in Nai's) and subtract 719 MB (the average I was getting on idle) we get about 6.7 to 6.8 GB. So, pretty much exactly what Nai's is saying is available, give or take a few megabytes. Also notice that it's not even close to capping the VRAM.

In BF4, however, it's using practically the entire VRAM. There's only 20 MB free. It was higher at some places and lower at others. We're talking a few dozen megabytes here at most.

Screenshot this if you like -- if anyone comes about spreading this article again, feel free to call them out because it's complete BULLSHIT.

>>55877119
>why does the more powerful gpu have faster vram

>>55878027
The main thing I think would be trying to disprove the behavior of the 970.
See >>55877119
When the 970 gets to the ~3200 mark it slows down drastically (the benchmark allocated 3840, if we assume it allocated all the available VRAM that would mean 256 is allocated else where putting that 3200-3328 block in the 3456-3584 which is roughly the entry point into the final 512MB area).

So the goal would be to get Nai's benchmark to allocate the rest of the VRAM so that it can be tested for the same behavior. Like I said in >>55877791 and >>55877829, if the 1070 has a slower pool of VRAM like the 970 does it would be allocated last, so the best way to test this would be to run a game that would use a portion of the VRAM (around 2GB, not all of it) and then run Nai's benchmark, which will then most likely allocate all the remainder of the VRAM.

I do find the consistent allocation of 6784MB on the 1070 interesting though, it makes me wonder if in the driver there is a limit set on these Pascal GPUs to the amount of VRAM CUDA can allocate, preventing full allocation.

>nvidia admits they lied and is giving out $30 for compensation
>they didn't lie
I know you're desperate to suck Huang's cock, but blindly shilling isn't the way to do it.

>>55878717
Actually, when I read the full disclosure I am more on the side of NVidia about not lying about the memory (aside from the mistake about how many RDPs and the bus width on the initial information release).

The memory is still there and running at full speed but because of the way they disabled an SM on the 980 GPU to create the 970 the way it communicated with the final 0.5GB had to change.
Technically they could have disabled that last 0.5GB completely and sold the card as 3.5GB but the way they did it the card can at least still address that last 0.5GB at a rate much faster than using system RAM, which is what graphics cards do when they run out of VRAM anyway.

The whole point to VRAM is that it's fast. If it's slow it's unusable.

The analogy would be like selling you a car that when you put 4 people in it goes 2 MPH but with 3 people it goes 60 MPH. You could just get out and walk faster.

So they basically lied about the ram, and then "fixed" it in a firmware update by disabling the slow chip they tacked on for false advertising. enjoy your $30 payouts if you bought the card coming soon.

There's a class action in progress and the 960 up to the 980 TI could be eligible, and even some AMD R series I believe. Keep an eye out for news about the lawsuit.

They did no such thing. What Nvidia does do is hand tune each game ready driver for the 970's unique memory layout (same thing they did for the 660ti). The second actual optimisations for the 970 stop anytime a game slams the vram with no fucks to give the card will choke.

That's bullshit.
1) All the chips are the same speed, it is jut the way the GPU connects to the final chip is different due to one SM being disabled.
2) It is still faster to use the final 512MB than than using system RAM, which is what happens when the VRAM runs out.
3) If they had disabled the final 512MB of VRAM it would have HARMED performance even FURTHER.

So basically stop your misinformation bullshit. You're certainly no better than NVidia, except you won't be required to pay out for making up shit.

Upon what do you form this opinion?

>>55879406
when you take playing video games as an insult, you know there is something wrong with playing video games.

A 770 should be beating a 280x.

mmmkay. That's an oddly specific way to say that i'm wrong because I didn't write a 2 page report on why the 970 was falsely advertising specs and instead summarized it for non ]-autistic-americans.

>>55879412
just briefly, they always get massively different results to every other benchmark sites out there eg they tested the 1060 in witcher 3 and found it to be like 10 fps slower than the 480 (both stock) and the gtx 970 was at like 26 fps. that means they're skewing their results to favor amd or they're running the game with hairworks 8xmsaa but turning tessellation down purposely in the amd control center to make the amd cards look better.

it not just with their 1060 vs 480 tests either. they've had weird results in their 390 vs 970 tests.

i'll try and find some and post it.

>>55879453
Yeah, in dx11.

You forget, the 770 wasn't designed for dx12 and as such it actually loses performance. AMD wins with dx12, but there's still nothing wrong with the 770.
I've got a 670 and it's still performing great for its age. 7950 is performing better in dx12 games, but I'm about to upgrade soon so idgaf, I don't buy my tech to enjoy them in 4 years, I buy what I can get the most out of at the time of purchase.

>Yeah, in dx11.

Except it doesn't in DX11 either, as per TPU's performance summary charts.

It's exaggerated in his chart, here's one with less difference

Also, I forgot.

Vs

>3GB

Probably aged better because it has 50% more vram.

>>55879578

Does remind when a certain group was quite vocal in claiming that 2gb is all you ever need for 1080p.

>>55879458
>>It's not a slow chip, it's just a slow chip BECAUSE
The chip is not any different from any of the other chips on the board, so it is not a slow chip. I am sorry but that is just a fact.
>>They didn't disable the RAM, they just patched the driver for all games to not use the ram.
The final 512MB will not be used until the rest of the VRAM has been used. It is not disabled, it is just reserved until the rest of the VRAM runs out.

So, yes, you are spreading misinformation bullshit.

hardware unboxed did a video on this and concluded that it isn't nvidia cards being gimped but it's just that the older hardware of the nvidia cards are causing bottlnecks eg less vram, smaller memory bus etc. amd cards generally had the beefier hardware but that in turn resulted them to have massive amounts of power consumption compared to the nvidia competition and also caused them to have housefire tier heat output.

>>55879635
Babeltech had a similar conclusion

>>55879602
I remember that too, and if I'd gotten a hd7950 I probably would have waited longer before upgrading, but my 670 had a good life and there's no point being salty over it. It's been a good 3 years, I'll probably upgrade to a 490 early next year, or a 1070 if the 490 is underwhelming

>It's not a slow chip. It's just a slow BECAUSE the transport layer!
>I'm not a fat person, I'm just larger BECAUSE of my increased food intake and lack of exercise.
The chips still slow and you're still fat. That's a fact of life.

>>55879740
>>It's not a slow chip. It's just a slow BECAUSE the transport layer!
Exactly. The chip isn't slow.
They didn't cheap out and put a lower speed chip in that position, access to that chip is slower due to the disabled SM in the GPU and they worked around that to keep performance impact to a minimum.

And unfortunately for you I am only about 63kg. Get rekt.

>This is coming from a 970 user who bought for CUDA

970 only has 1700 CUDA at best.

You fucked up on so many levels.

>Works perfectly fine in 1080p
>Never was good enough to play 1440p/4K
>3.5 vram memes when 99/100 games you try to play in 4K will shit themselves to sub 30 fps before you get anywher near 4 gigs of ram.

Also no, GTA5 doesn't shit itself cuz of vram on higher resolutions. The card just isn't good enough. Set your gta 5 to something like 1440p/4x msaa - now set your texture details to low/medium to drop below 3.5gb vram - No difference in performance.

Dunno why but vram use didn't go over 2300 mb with 30 textures
I tried 60 textures and it didn't go past 3500mb

>no bus interface load
Well it isn't using system RAM then, so I guess you need to load it more.

>>55880041
The tool is just broken

Are there any tools for addressing all 8gb of VRAM?

I haven't been able to find anything to test my 1080 on that front yet.

>>55879942
I play gta v on decent framerates (50-60fps) on 1440p on a 970 with MSAA off and soft shadows and grass quality set to high

>>55880062
I suggest this method >>55878411 >>55877829
You can get pretty much full usage of the VRAM and check for any massive slowdown when it gets to the top area (if any VRAM is handicapped like the 970 it will be addressed last and by Nai's bench).

>>55880062
Try Rise of the Tomb Raider on 4K

>>55880062
mirrors edge hyper settings at 1440p or 4k. it was specifically designed to tax the 8gb in the 1070/80.

Hyper settings does horrible, horrible things to 4gb cards.

>>55880323
they patched that. it runs fine on 4gb cards now.
