EPTThere are other options, but that's the one that should be widely available. Particularly if you look around for an online shop that gives you free shipping somehow.

18gb of diskspace from win 7 being gone is always nice, I suppose. Assuming that's about the only benefit, could I just delete the old windows 7 files and call it done? | ||

Assuming you're in Win10 right now, hit Win+Q command and search up Disk Clean-up. Right click it and run as administrator, you should from there be able to delete your old Win7 files. After that you should be fine, since it was a clean installation from the start you don't really need to reinstall Win10 again. | ||

$30 to everyone who bought a 970. Will see how easy this is to cash in and where it applies. http://www.overclock.net/t/1607150/tca-nvidia-settles-graphic-card-false-advertising-class-action-lawsuit/ | ||

Or should the regular 970 owner just wait? | ||

Class actions rarely amount to a reasonable amount for an affected individual. | ||

They're still probably coming out of this better than if they had cut the price by 10% and fully disclosed that they cut the chip. They quickly became the fastest selling GPU of all time, they absolutely ruined AMD's marketshare and a large part of that was because of the lie of the almost-fully-enabled chip @$330. According to some marketshare analysis, Nvidia had ~1.63 GPU's per 1 that AMD had in the kepler vs gcn era.. that increased to ~3.17 within 2 quarters of the 970 release. Those sales numbers put them in the most dominant marketshare position they'd been in for a very, very long time. | ||
