"At 1080p the GTX 970 or Radeon R9 290 are your best deals in that resolution. Of course, if you can afford it, an R9 290X would be even better at 1080p and allow higher settings."
The charts suggest that the GTX 970 is better at 1080p....with the 290X lagging behind with the same settings.
I suppose no-one from Nvidia read any reviews of the GTX 970 from the major tech sites?
No-one at Nvidia noticed that the specs listed on the front page of most reviews were different than what was actually true?
Impossible, they even link to these reviews on your Official GTX 970 page...

When I play Shadow of Mordor at 1080p (no 4k dsr etc), I run fine for 20 minutes with 70-90 fps and the vram hovering around 3.5.
Then, the vram creeps up a little as I play and goes into the 3.6 - 3.8 range. I begin the notice lag, stutters and hitching. I look at the on screen fps and see...
The official specs state the bandwidth that is to be expected. But that seems to drop by 75% when using the last 512MB.
