Peaks/pikes are normal... but the 960 and 750ti shown have larger than normal spikes, and they fall far outside of spec..
It only came to light because it was a card everyone talked about last few weeks, having negativity, reasonable statements (like said problem being irrelevant attorney-wise and builder-wise but being relevant in cases someone cheaps out on componentry) and blind hype (1500 on air, anyone?) is expected.
People were not outraged on RoPs/Cache story? Also, you paid for 4gb, you got 4gb in chips, all fair /sarcasm (yes, i do think nV fucked up on that, but card was good enough to salvage that anyways).
Look, because i have fun with memory when it's irrelevant in bigger picture about nV lying: where in your purchase it's stated that 4gb is usable?
Because nvidia chills are really scared of 480, and what it can do to the marked, beside isnt it kinda like this with evry radeon lounch, find a thing to pic on, then evryone knows more how bad this is

If this were happening to the new GTX 1060, you think the internet would be silent about it? Did you miss RAM-gate, async-gate, GameWorks-gate all during 2015 alone?
Has anything good come of this yet? Will anything good come from it?
Did you see AMD's response? Let me summarize Robert Hallock: "Fuck you."
It should be called cache gate, no matter how you spin it, calling it a 256b bus with 4GB ram and "up to" 224GB/s is 100% technically correct
because certain trolls where not hear back then and you know who im talking about
A bigger differnce is that if the card is non-compliant with the PCI Express standard but is using the PCI Express logo and is marketed as a PCI Express card, NVidia may have standing and cause to ask the US International Trade Commission and the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol to block the importation of the card, including potentially seizing and even destroying the cards when they arrive in the US.
Did you forget how to read during that time? There were multiple threads about it and people bitching.
Well, the thing here is that AMD can do the same about nV since both are dirty (spikes above 75W are prohibited, and nV has such cards as well). So neither side will bother.
Please provide a reference showng that a current-generation GTX 10X0 card violates the terms of the PCI Express licensing agreement.
I suspect they cannot fix it without lowering the performance of the cards or redesigning the board to use an 8-pin aux power connector.
You are correct that current generation does not have such problem yet, and i did have that in mind when i wrote it.
As was said before, Maxwell had power distribution exposed in BIOS. AMD cards probably do as well. Now, the interesting part here is that even if it will be fixed with power redistribution, it will still violate PCI-E spec for 6-pin. That's entirely unconsequential on decent PSUs, but AMD are already vulnerable to lawsuits about 110W claim for rx480, because it can easily cause a fire for a mainstream noob with "450W" PSU like myself a year ago.
They might, but that kind of flexibility may increase your BoM costs, which is more of an issue for a low end card than for a high-end one.
