I feel that AMD would be roasted for something like this, so I'm glad some folks are getting pissed and shouting about it.
No matter WHAT they say, it is MARKETED as a 4GB card, and enthusiasts look at that very number to gauge whether it will have enough ram to run at high res/textures without issues...
That number isn't arbitrary, nV and AMD know exactly what the deal is when they state stuff like that, and IMHO nV misled everyone, because it's really a 3.5GB card at full speed(and that's all that matters- 10X slower doesn't count for nothing but stutters).
It should have been listed/marketed as a 3.5GB card, and all would be perfectly fine....but their marketing team/Engineers know that PROSPECTIVE BUYERS are looking for 4GB of ram, and I just feel they deceived everyone with this BS.
Folks can excuse them all they want, I've been reading all about this around the 'net, and the excuses and garbage the nV Shills and Ultra-Fanboys have been shoveling is just bullshit.
Is it MARKETED/ SOLD as a 4GB card, or a 3.5GB card?
How much ram can you actually use before it becomes a stutterfest? 4GB, or 3.2-3.5gb?
Facts are much better than excuses.
