    Apparently New Egg has also been sending out such e-mails about the GeForce GTX 960 and GTX 980, too.  And "Radeon R9" without any additional name or number isn't a video card.  None of those cards had an obvious issue akin to the 3.5 GB issue on the GTX 970.

    Didn't the 960 suck 200+ watt under stress? Back then I remember reading about that so there might be something about Nvidia killing motherboards by taking more than the spec 150watts.


    About the R9... is it the 280? 390x? Fury? Heck why choose a card if you can click bait red haters.

    Having accidental glitches show up is not at all similar to knowingly selling a card while stating highly deceptive specs on it.  If every bug in software or drivers leads to a class action lawsuit, it would be the end of consumer PCs.

    A lot of hardware will use more than the stated TDP if you give it a power virus that pushes it hard enough.  AMD GPUs with PowerTune are the only notable exception that I'm aware of among high-wattage hardware, and even those can be pushed to pull way too much wattage for half a second or so.  Turbo boost of some sort as on both Intel and AMD CPUs and Nvidia GPUs mitigates this somewhat, but hardly fixes it.

    A partial refund of $30 or something, I suspect, maybe less. Still don't get what was wrong with R9.. Anyone?

    This was just a mistake from Newegg.

    The only refund right now is on the GTX970.
