You buy a car. It's advertised as having air bags. Turns out it doesn't. Who cares that it still runs at the same speed, handles the same way as advertised?
When you're going to need those air bags, they won't be there. Nvidia will lose this lawsuit. Keep your receipts everybody, you're going to be able to claim that 20-50$ check 5-10 years from now.
You need to check up on how DR Dos case etc worked out. They can drag it out until they say, but your honor (10yrs later) today that card is worth $20, so we feel we only owe 10% of it's value so will be happy to pay the $2 of damage considering today it's useless junk just like dos (MS dragged that case out until they claimed it wasn't useful so only $20K...LOL ON BILLIONS of software sold between that DID use dos). Pointless unless the case could be resolved in a month
Well that's a bit extreme, but you get the point. Another point they'd make 10yrs from now is "your honor $50 today buys them a card 2x faster than what you're claiming was damaged to a minor degree, so it's worth nothing as you'd be harming our low end sales at $50 of our current cards on 3nm tech", or some such, you get the point. Both valid by then. These cases rarely do anything for us but raise the price for all to recoup lawyer fees etc.
I'm also fairly certain they could easily pull in dozens of people off ANY street and ask them 3 questions:
Do you know what L2 cache is?
Do you know how many rops your card can do or even what rops are?
Do you know how much memory is on your video card?
1/10 may actually get those right, thus proving name, perf, recommendations from friends/stores etc sells more than rops or L2 etc. This case is easy to defeat on so many levels. This is no where near as bad as AMD shipping cards that would throttle as all reviews showed with 290's. The retails sucked and perf was NOT as good. And as noted you get 4GB, just not all the same speed (did they ever say it was all accessed the same? Usually it's just size, type and clock speed, not info about how it's accessed). There is no single gpu card made that can push 4K maxed so people saying that need to realize you always need two cards for this (or a card with two chips, until a few more shrinks probably that is). Hannibal's points about it being all over the industry is true too, and as a PC shop for 8yrs I saw this a lot for board and cards.
