(on the 4gb vram versions)

after it uses 1gb vram, the performance tanksssssss so badly

and now, nvidia might do a 970 gpu recall, but it's a software thing, they won't do it, but if it's a firmware thing, they'll recall it.

@jhonny

if you don't have the 4gb vram version, nothing happens

and it's not a little performance dip, it tanks badly.

if you do have the 4gb vram, you got lucky.

I run games like BF4 and Crysis 3 and I use 4x MSAA in both and I have no FPS issues.

Guys, this is not as bad as it seems, the bench mark program is suppose be used in a special environment and it seems the little performance lost is just a driver error so we don't need to worry about it

the 970 has a problem with the last .5 gb of its vram.

There's no problem. 3.5 GBs of vram is still a lot.

Having a 980 this does not bother me.
Unless it actually somehow applies to me.
Then I demand recall and a replacement with a free SD card for my gopro.
Cause I need a new one >.>

@zang

for 1080p it's a lot

but for those who want to play on 2k @ ultra settings with the highest textures (and 4k), you'll run into a problem

advanced warfare is a VRAM hog and the drops only occurs with 4k, 2x FSMAA(highest setting in AW) and supersampling

well first off its based on some benchmark nobody has heard of before and its also spitting out false numbers for Hawaii (290 and 290X) and GK110 (Titan, 780, 780 Ti, Titan Black)

secondly all 4gb of the vram is usable. because of the 970's reduced ROP count, NVIDIA has to segment the ram into two segments. 3.5 GB is the high speed and high priority segment. the last 512mb is much slower than the 3.5GB so its used to lower priority things.

so if you are satisfied with your 970 i wouldn't be freaking out right now

@johnny

bioshock used 2.5Gb of VRAM on my 1080p settings, and when I got to 2K, it used almost all of it

and cod aw, isn't a vram hog, it uses 1.8GB of VRAM for me

Suorsampling isn't effient.

and 1080p looks like crap on my 2k monitor because it doesn't utilize y entire monitor,

if you have 2k monitkor, its dumb to run supersampling @2k

Thats why AW isn't using all of your VRAM, you don't have SS on.

there is no point running supersampling on a 2K monitor

the point of supersampling is to down scale to reduce the not make the pixels as visible (as blocks)

2k is my native res, why would I use supersampling if I don't have that problem on my 2k res monitor?

and 2k>super sampling

2K is also more demanding to run versus JUST super-sampling alone.
