I caught wind of this from our friends over at /r/buildapc and tried it out for myself tonight. I bought my 970 a couple months ago and was eligible for the 20% to be refunded to my credit card no questions asked. If you have purchased through Amazon take a minute to do this for yourself.
I've also heard that if you ask for a return amazon will refund you 100% of your purchase price, but I'm happy with my card and won't be taking advantage of that.

      no go on my end, said that earlier refunds where due to misinformation.

  Merged from Nvidia Could Be Forced to Pay $30 to Every GTX970 Card Onwer!

  Hey folks very interesting turn of events i will link the article here.
  http://www.pcworld.com/article/3101741/hardware/nvidia-agree…

  Basically it is saying that Nvidia lied to us. The customer about the amount of Vram the GTX970 has. It is supposed to have 4 gigabytes of DDR4 ram when technically it has only 3.5 Gigabytes of usable Vram. Technically the last 512mb is a low priority ram segment some thing to do with a shorter crossbar.

  This deal could be for US only. Hopefully they do the right thing and make it world wide.
