!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and not the Samsung GDDR5 1070s. Thankfully, my pair of 1070s never approached the 8,000 MHz but I’m terrified and amused as to what would happen if it did.

Interesting. What is it with Nvidia x70 series cards and memory issues?

At this point, I don’t have a reasonable explanation except “cutting corners” for demand.

I think the change has more to do with the low yield rates of new, high performance, chips. 50% yield would be mighty impressive for a chip. They make these by the millions knowing that the majority will not meet specs (and typically get repurposed, ex rejected memory chips for SSDs get used in USB drives) and a large portion will simply have to be thrown away. They do this with a lot of more complex components. A 6700 is just a 6700k that wasn’t good enough.

You’ll at least be part of the class action suit.

If it happens. I’m hoping it will considering the successful 970 lawsuit.
