GTX 970 Owners Get $30 From Settlement With Nvidia, Gigabyte, Asus, EVGA
In February 2015, several people filed a lawsuit against Nvidia, Gigabyte, Asus and EVGA over the inaccuracy of the specs of the GeForce GTX 970. Yesterday, the case was settled, and even though the four companies didn’t admit liability, those who file a valid claim for their GTX 970 GPU will receive a $30 cash payment.
The original lawsuit claimed that Nvidia, as well as the other three companies, posted false specs for the GPU. The advertised specs for the GTX 970 had 4 GB of VRAM, 64 render output processors (ROP) and an L2 cache of 2.048 MB. The lawsuit claimed that card actually had 3.5 GB of VRAM, 56 ROPs and an L2 cache of 1.792 MB. In terms of the settlement, the companies will “make a cash payment of $30 per GTX 970 unit to Settlement Class Members who submit valid claims, with no cap.”
Nvidia GTX 980 and 960 lawsuit notifications sent to Newegg customers
“We have been informed about a class action lawsuit settlement with NVIDIA regarding the [GTX 980/GTX 960] graphics card. Newegg is currently awaiting details about the settlements claims process (instructions, website). Once we have this important information, we will send you a follow-up email with the specifics on how you can submit your claim,” the emails read. A Newegg blog post from 29 July states it has a “full list” of affected cards “from Whatley Kallas LLP, counsel for the plaintiffs” and indicates that “Similar lawsuits get bunched together as a matter of convenience and speed for the courts. So, somewhere along the line, a lot of products outside of the GTX 970 were added.”
