Comment Re:probably won't go anywhere (Score 1) 161

I bought a 970 and it was based off site benches, it seemed for the price it would suit my needs. It fully does, I did run into issue with one game where on the command line I was forcing launch using all 4gb of ram on the card, it didn't work out as well. I ended up backing off until I found the magic number and all works well.

In the end I have a card I thought I paid a decent amount for, for the performance I receive. Even after all this has come to light I'm still happy with my purchase.

I have the card and actually did run into issues from specifying my game to use the full 4gb for textures. Ended up having to back it down to 3gb. No significant loss in performance maybe -10 fps, since it's still pegging at +60 I'm happy with the purchase.

I purchased the card based on performance reviews and the price point of the 980. The 970 seemed to offer performance my wallet could justify spending the money on vs not dropping the cash for the latest and greatest card.

Given that the US, EU and soon even China outsource most manufacturing to 3rd world countries, yes it is a problem and if it isn't it will soon be. There is a reason the US ceased manufacturing and it wasn't due entirely to a cheaper labor pool. A lion share was probably due to more lax requirements in production and emissions from production.
