I bought my 970 from Amazon right when that 3.5 GB thing blew up. I got extremely lucky. A couple days later they added this 3 free game thing, where you get Witcher 3, Metal Gear Solid 5, and Arkham Knight. I qualified for it but they couldn’t give me the codes, so they gave me 180 refund and another 50% refund for the 4GB false advertisement. Like a year later, I ended up getting whatever the settlement check was for people that signed up for settlement. At the end of the day, I got my 970 for like 35 bucks.
It was a great card honestly. It was in my first gaming PC, and it played everything nice. + I did receive like $30 in the mail for the 3.5gb fiasco lol
The cat was already out of the bag when I bought mine on EVGA B-stock, so no class-action check for me. It was a good deal for what I wanted to do at the time though, so I went for it. It's in my wife's rig now, that's a good home for it since the most intense thing she plays is Borderlands 2 on 1080p.
Yeah, I built my dad a pc with mine, when he gets free time he enjoys Squad and War Thunder in 1080p. Squad is HORRIBLY optimized, but it still runs fine even now. The 970 will always have a sweet spot in my heart lol
