Will I have any problems on gtx 970?

[Bilal Ahmed99]

I was going to buy a Msi gtx 970 twinfrozr V. But recently i came across the 4gb memory issue of the mentioned gpu.
I will be playing games on a single 1920x1080 monitor. I dont plan on doing multiple screens and neither 1440p nor 4k. I want to ask that will i get any performance drops due to this problem of gtx 970? I will use my pc for new as well as old games.
Also tell me is my 4 gb gpu future safe for new and nex gen games considering the vram usage.
My rest of specs are as follows:

Cpu : intel i5 4670k.
Ram :G skill ripjawj series 8 gb (2x4gb) ram.
Mobo : gigabyte z97x gaming 3.
Psu : crosair Cx550 80+ gold semi modular.
Hdd : WD 1tb hdd
Case : thermaltake chaser a31 mid tower.
Cooler : Coolermaster hyper 212x

I don't own this pc yet. I am going to build it in few months.
Can you please tell me about gpu issue?
And this is my first build.just so you know. I've done some research on the said topic but haven't found any satisfying answer or thread

anyway if it was to be a 900 card it will be the 980 and just bit the bullet for the full real full powered no issue card and be done with it .. too many issues involved with the 970 for my tastes

Well, to each his own thinking.

The GTX 970 is every bit the card it was advertised as - it still comes with 4GB of RAM, just not configured the way everyone thought, AND it's performance has NOT changed one bit.

Also, I've read that while in SLI there is some issue about the GTX 970s AND GTX 980s running at slightly differently clock speeds. Don't know what the reason is for this and NVidia is investigating.

Still, I plan to purchase a pair of GTX 970s to put in SLI. Why? Because the pair will still blow away one GTX 980 in games, and cost only slightly more. Wanted a pair of GTX 980s but for the games I play they would be over kill and cost far too much.

If you need more vram, it gets it from system ram. Similar to the last 0.5gb in the 970s.

not enough to worry about.
