NVIDIA Rolls Out GeForce 347.52 WHQL Game Ready Driver

[D007]

As long as any game pushes it above 3500MB it will use the messed up 512MB and slideshow/stutter will start.

What game does that with reasonable settings, that is within the cards capabilities?

Also one 970 is not meant to run bf4 at 4k in ultra settings so idc how much memory one 970 has, if you expect it to be untouchable you are deluding yourself.
It's one 970, a mid range card, not quad sli 980's..

But the 970 did not come out till around a year or so later so WTF. So yes it should be better but it should have 4GB usable too.

I will agree again that the 970 is a dam good card how ever in my case some of my games go over that 3.5GB.

No games I do go over 3 gig at all, even at 4k res and max settings.
What are you guys playing? lol

Lots of GPUs have different limitations. GTX 660 and 660Ti got half the performance for half the memory bank (1GB fast, 1 GB half speed)

Mostly correct. The 660 breakdown was 1.5GB fast and .5GB not as fast for the 2GB models. The 3GB models got 1.5 fast and 1.5 fast. No one really noticed though, because most games were hard pressed to put up 2GB of VRAM use.

Another bumper result for Nvidia:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/8973/nvidia-releases-q4-fy-2015-and-full-year-results-record-revenue-for-quarter-and-full-year

Nvidia managed to top AMD's revenue for the last quarter ($1.251bn vs $1.24bn for AMD) - a first?, with the relative forecasts predicting the gap widening for this quarter. Quite surprised a record year for the company didn't make it to the TPU front page....although I'd guess if a driver release turns into "GTX 970 Heralds the End of Days", an article on a record year will induce panic on the streets in the basements.

When you see how close they are, you'd think AMD would be doing alot better than they are.

Revenue is similar, but look at the respective margins -which go a long way to defining the health and viability of a company. AMD @ 29%, Nvidia @ 55.9%...and from AMD's perspective, the immediate outlook is grim.

Anyhow. Installed the driver. No problems.

Yeah, when you look at Net Profit Margin it tells the story

Nvidia 12.77% http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/stockdetails/fi-126.1.NVDA?symbol=NVDA&form=PRFISH

AMD 0.85% http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/stockdetails/fi-126.1.AMD.NYS?symbol=AMD&form=PRFISH

Also bear in mind that AMD has to use their profit to fund R&D on not only GPUs but CPUs as well.

AMD stops shipping chips as bloated channel begs 'Please, no more'

No way it can Fix the falsified,Gimped 970 card. that card is screwed.

Knucklehead.

I wouldn't swap my GTX 970 for anything AMD have on the market currently.

Still, I don't know how Nvidia sleep at night with their record revenues.

Heh, Im running a 295x2 right now and wish I had a 980 again...

Well...probably pretty good. The goal of any business, small or large is to be as profitable as possible.

And now the cryptocurrency GPU crash rear its ugly head. I claim some fault on this too, jumped the gun and bought several used AMD GPUs when they were falling off the sky. Upgraded several PCs with them and now I don't have a reason to upgrade ATM.
