That's usually how this works. It's Hush Money.

I'll get to it on Monday, cuz I'm busy this weekend.

US class action lawsuit, so no payment unless the Uk does one too.

diablos991 · Sep 10, 2016

Submitted my claim.

Wheatly · Sep 11, 2016

This money will go towards my future 1070 purchase

LostDonkey · Sep 11, 2016

UK residents can file for a class action under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Someone would just have to start one.

One is being done against Mastercard as we speak. If it's successful then all UK residents over the age of 18 stand to receive a payment of around £300. Whether you have had a Mastercard or not.

Protein · Sep 11, 2016

Submit, even though I stepped up to a GTX 1070. Give me my $30 you greedy jerks.

ghibli99 · Sep 11, 2016

Thanks for the notice -- submitted mine for my 2x 970s. Now to wait. LOL

JORMBO · Sep 11, 2016

Submitted, thanks for the notice

Justinh · Sep 11, 2016

Thanks OP. I bought 3 (one of those was for my Pop). I'll take care of this when I sober up.

Jangowuzhere · Sep 11, 2016

Thanks, I thought this was going to be an annoying process of me having to print stuff out and mail it.

Nope! Online claim was fast and easy.

Crunch2600 · Sep 11, 2016

I bought mine on Newegg.com, they notified me that they'd send instructions. Should I wait until they do? Will they send me a claim number?

I also bought mine on newegg. Never got anything, i just filled mine out with item number and the receipt

McHuj · Sep 11, 2016

I bet the settlement costs were built into the price of the Pascal series, Settlement Edition.

_woLf · Sep 11, 2016

Got me mine.

BennyBlanco · Sep 11, 2016

I still never got my check from the Vita settlement, but I'll sign up for this lol

Tohsaka · Sep 11, 2016

Filed mine, we'll see if it ever comes.

jrcbandit · Sep 11, 2016

Thanks, filed for two cards! I want my $60 damnit. Also, will likely be the last time I'll ever SLI. High bandwidth SLI bridges solves some of the issues, but still lack of SLI support when brand new games come out sucks.

Came to say this. This is me exactly.

Pretty sure they sent me a code to redeem on PSN or something.

I know I got something out of it quite sometime ago though.

TacticalHotdog · Sep 11, 2016

What kind of proof of purchase do you need to provide? I can't find my physical receipt for the card

Orayn · Sep 11, 2016

I love my 970 but $30 is $30.

You can use the Nvidia control panel to pull the Device ID and Part Number, there's a screenshot showing you how to do it.

BladeoftheImmortal · Sep 11, 2016

What exactly did they do? Site doesn't say anything definite.

Filed, no time to go to court. Hopefully a few people do and get paid

They misrepresented the amount of VRAM it had, sorta. It was advertised as a 4GB card, but 0.5GB of that is an order of magnitude slower than the rest, which can cause serious slowdown if you're doing anything that pushes the card's limits.

I don't need to show the receipt from Amazon?

Hip Hop · Sep 11, 2016

done

thanks.

robotrock said:

no, but i would just in case. Lesser chance of getting rejected, for whatever reason. the more info you input, the better.

Arkeband · Sep 11, 2016

I took a screenshot of my shipping email and also gave the device ID out of my NVidia control panel. Just to be sure that they wouldn't find issue with one or the other.

So when should I expect this money, sometime next year?

Original Famous Ray · Sep 11, 2016

Neat. I bought my 970 at Amazon and they make it easy to print out old invoices so its all good.

lazygecko · Sep 11, 2016

I remember when nVidia fried my GPU via some driver updates in 2013 which tried to force enable some feature my specific card did not support. There ought to have been a lawsuit over that.

gryvan · Sep 11, 2016

Newegg sent me a notice like a month ago being aware of the class action lawsuit for nvidia. They told me they will send a follow up email for the claims. So should I wait for newegg to send me a follow up email or should I poke at customer service about it?

SugarDave · Sep 11, 2016

When the reports about the VRAM first came out, I jumped on Amazon chat and asked them to give me a few bob back. Ended up getting a £50 partial refund and I was happy with my 970 anyway.

wrongway · Sep 11, 2016

Put mine in, thanks for the heads up.

FaintDeftone · Sep 11, 2016

Submitted a claim. I usually don't get involved in these things but it is pretty screwed up that they lied about the memory in it. I probably wouldn't have bought it if I knew that prior.

Tertullian · Sep 11, 2016

Free money bay-bee.

stanleyc415 · Sep 11, 2016

So how long does it take for this claim to be processed and how will I receive my money?

Korezo · Sep 11, 2016

I bought one from superbiz as a guest... now to hope I didn't delete the confirmation email.

The actual hearing isn't until December, so you probably aren't going to get a check until 2017.

Nakazato · Sep 11, 2016

The start of my 1080 savings lol...

OmegaX06 · Sep 11, 2016

Looks like you can just input a SKU number as proof of purchase? These numbers are public and posted on most store pages.

Jawmuncher · Sep 11, 2016

Everyone should have been ok with what the 970 offered though. I mean it was a working GPU and the difference wasn't that big from what they told you.

That's what GAF has told me anyway.

Alric · Sep 11, 2016

Thanks for the update OP. I submitted my claim. Bought mine through newegg so getting documentation was no problem.
