Nvidia and especially its AIC partners as well as retailers/e-tailers, might be facing a big problem as some users have started to return their Geforce GTX 970 graphics cards for refund.

While these are still perfectly functional Geforce GTX 970 graphics cards, some of the retailers in the EU are reporting that users are returning perfectly functional Geforce GTX 970 graphics cards with "false advertising" claims. Retailers/e-tailers simply have to take those graphics cards back due to incorrect specifications which were published back when the graphics card was launched.

One of the major retailer in Europe, German Caseking.de, noted that retailers currently do not have any explanation or guides from Nvidia and it is pretty much the same situation with Nvidia AIC partners.

Retailers are apparently on their own as they obviously are not able to repair the defect and hopefully Nvidia will get their act together and help out both AIC partners and retailers before the GTX 970 memory issue becomes the biggest GPU controvery in near history, as Nvidia might be facing a flood of returns.

Of course, buyers of the GTX 970 might be a bit more happier once Nvidia issues the promised driver update that should somewhat fix the memory allocation issue. In any case, with a US $329 price tag the GTX 970 is still a great graphics card and we doubt that Nvidia will do much other than allow for a full refund.
