Not sure man, I've got the 980 G1 gaming and it's working fine.
What resolution are you playing at, and how many screens are you using?
So I haven't seen a post for this as of yet, but has anyone else seen the new issue. Being an owner of a new GTX 970 G1 Gaming (Not to brag..<3) I am pretty mad that It now can't be use to it's full capacity. Your guys thoughts/feels?

I am not sure if the 980s have the same issue but pretty much the VRAM is split into two parts: around 3.2gb and .8gb After all the use of the 3.2gb the card throttles and slows down. Obviously this will never affect me as 1 screen wont use more then 3gb of VRAM but not the point.

Oh Also that's my understanding of it I could be wrong? :3
It seems you really only have two options until Nvidia rolls out a driver update that fixes it.
- Take it back to the store citing the issue, provide the link to the article.
- Don't play demanding games :P
Really sucks that you can't use the 970 to it's full potential, even though it's the 980's slightly smaller brother it's still a beast.
It's a none issue. Less than 1% of owners have ever seen a performance drop when accessing the secondary VRAM partition. In fact up until last week there wasn't a single report of any kind of performance dip. It wasn't until someone used a synthetic benchmark to force the used of the secondary partition that people actually cared. Since then people have been creating unrealistic benchmarks and using such benchmarks as proof of there being some kind of fault (it's not even a fault but an inherent part of the 970 being a downsized 980). If your frames are high you shouldn't care.
