The GTX 970 is unable to use more than 3.5GB ingame without serious performance issues occurring. 

A 980 uses 4GB at the same setting/resolution in FC4/Mordor etc.....while the 970 languishes at 3.5.

This is not an issue of how much memory....I know the card has 4GB, the problem lies in the fact that something (drivers/hardware?) is preventing the GTX 970 from utilizing its 4GB vram.

Even when GPU usage is not maxed out, perhaps only at 60%, this case occurs. 

If I open my modded Skyrim, I can keep GPU usage low, but load up the textures in vram. I have fine performance up until it tries to go over 3.5GB....then it tanks.

this is a posto from nvidia forum!!! take a look ...  https ://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/803518/geforce-900-series/gtx-970-3-5gb-vram-issue/1/

    ^^^ I think you keep a file on your desktop with the links just for this reason. Glad people actually look through the forum before posting, lol.

    The mods may move them together or lock this one. As users, we can't delete them.
