Plaintiffs claimed that instead of 4 GB of video random access memory, the graphics card operated on 3.5 GB with a separate .5 GB spillover. In addition, the lawsuits alleged that instead of the 56 render output processors that the GTX 970 advertised, the actual device contained 64 ROPs. The settlement includes 15 class action lawsuits that were consolidated in Northern California, as well as one pending action in San Diego. Nvidia denied the allegations but agreed to the terms of the settlement to avoid the cost and risk of further litigation. The Court has not sided with either party. After this became public, I was able to gobble up my friends card and SLI'd them it upset him enough to afford me an upgrade. Cheap and dependable card, and never explicitly confirmed the allegations but the math checks out. Thought ya'll deserved the tea. Read full review

While not on the spectrum of the GTX 980 or 980Ti, this card does wonders in most AAA games, while helping case airflow. This is why I love reference design cards. Not only are they much cooler looking in my book, but in computer cases with poor airflow, they can get the hot air out of the case, and keep the GPU hot air, out of the case by blowing all the air out the back of the case.

Gtx 970 has held its value so well. Even late 2018 its a solid budget pick especially if you find one for 125 or under. This card is a NVIDIA Reference model, with single fan and fully enclosed with rear panel exhaust. Even at stock 970 clock speeds reaches ~80 C under full load, so not a lot of room to overclock most likely

Personally I always wanted a reference card. Other than that this card works great and it performs close to a gtx 1060 which is a good thing because the 1060 at the time of this review is way overpriced. All in all I am satisfied with my purchase and shipping was fast and that is always a good thing.
