amazon has already been giving refunds and returns on cards over a year old. newegg has yet to offer a response. regardless evga msi and everyone else will have to follow suit. i am thinking about calling evga to get an official response in a bit. just came in here to see if anything was posted yet
 
@drew you are wrong sir ;)

Since I just got an email from Newegg (I have 980's) about a class action lawsuit settlement with NVIDIA regarding the GTX 980 graphics card I'm assuming they meant 970's and it's valid.  (Just not for me!)

It is more than just 970. The 980(ti)/970/960/ some AMD cards are all included in this. Link from newegg with included products: http://blog.newegg.com/nvidia-gtx-970-class-action-lawsuit/
 
Apparently it is common for them to just lump all cards together then decide later which ones qualify. Someone said though that the memory wasn't enough and the reason all these cards are included is because they lied about the ROPs and L2 size.

Class action lawsuits are a joke.
 
I wish people would stop feeling like these were helpful..they're not, unless you want to give lawyers more money and raise prices.

Yep. That is exactly what Nvidia did too, they stacked an additional $200 on their Pascal. Good job everybody, you just screwed yourselves buying a new series. Hope that $30 was worth it. To the clown that started this lawsuit (I know who they are), make that $30 game last. lol.

If you bought Maxwell you probably don't need Pascal...

But...but... they said they could have gone to Mars for the amount of money they spent on R&D for Pascal! (hahaha!) So, they pass the costs on to the consumer!

How is the Legal Document that Tom's Hardware posted a baseless rumor or speculation?
Nobody here is spreading rumors.

You guys realize that every company puts it's R&D on it's consumers right? Are we going to have "good guy AMD memes" now?
 
The price hike is clearly because of the no competition on the higher end part of the market. Don't like the prices? Awesome! vote with your wallet! You can get it later or wait for AMD to catch up to the speed you desire, then spend money on them.

Going on the reference and now FE's. The price increased 50$ (from 550) to cover the increased manufacturing costs, so it's the MSRP of 600 (that no one wants to hit for now). And the extra 100 buck gets on from the no competition in the space. If you wanna go 'aliens' as to why the price increase happened, fine, just don't play the blaming game on others for Nvidia's wrong doing (with the 970) and price hike with the FE's. I haven't seen any 970 owner or class action starter go to 1060/1070/1080 buyer and force him/her at gun point to buy a card so he can get a 30$ coupon or whatever it will be. These cards are being bought like there's no tomorrow even at these inflated FE prices.
 
Also just a bit of history when you stop being mad/humored: 480 (500$), 580 (500$), 680 (500$), 780 (650$/ later 500 after Ti came in at 700), 980 (550$), 1080 (600$ msrp/ 700$ FE). See the trend? If you don't you can include the Titans for a more clearer picture.
