Many of you MIGHT have heard the news of Nvidia's "False Advertising" their GTX 970 and claiming it to be a 4GB VRAM GPU.
While technically, it is a 4GB VRAM GPU, but the remaining 0.5 GB can only be accessed at a slower speed. Due to this, users have been reporting memory allocation issues and stuttering on games that use up more then 3.5GB of VRAM. Nvidia's reasoning for this mismatch was due to, and i quote; "A communication error between the engineering TEAM and the technical PR team"

What are your opinions on this?

You currently have 3 Topics going on vid card choices...and most of the advice you have heard is innacurate...
Just sayin...In most cases there is nothing wrong with the vRAM limitation.  vRAM requirement goes up with resolution and if you are trying to drive a resolution so high that it needs more than 3.5gb vRAM, the 970 GPU itself will struggle.  The only time that the ISSUE could show up is in SLI setups as you are now starting to approach the POSSIBILITY of using a lot of vRAM with the GPUs still coping.  Even then it still is not a major issue, notice that when the chip came out it was extremely WELL received and performed great, this does not change just because a bug was found.A report claiming that carted had the best price to performance  was published 28th of April 2015.  Well,  at least  it is very recent.
