Best purchase ever. Got mine for $270 after a rebate with Witcher 3 and Batman Arkham Knight, got an additional $30 in Amazon credit when AK was a broken POS, then sold it to my roommate for $200 when I bought my 1080.
I made money on that card lol

That said, if NewEgg accepted a return for it and a full refund I wouldn't say no.

I got mine from NewEgg as well in 2015, I wonder if I should send an email inquiring about the partial refund?

Interesting that they actually settled

Cheaper than going to court and losing.

Pretty sure they've all got the memo at this point but I guess one could inquire.

PHOENIXZERO · Aug 1, 2016

Got an e-mail from Newegg about an hour ago regarding the settlement. Nothing interesting though.

We have been informed about a class action lawsuit settlement with NVIDIA regarding the GTX 970 graphics card. Newegg is currently awaiting details about the settlement claims process (instructions, website). Once we have this important information, we will send you a follow-up email with the specifics on how you can submit your claim.

If you have any questions regarding the information provided in this email, please don't hesitate to contact Newegg Customer Service through one of the convenient contact methods provided here.

Sincerely,
Your Newegg Customer Support Team

I got the Newegg email too. Glad I don't need to keep up with this. Gonna wait for NE to let me know the deets.

LQX · Aug 1, 2016

Got one from Newegg also. I hope it is an actual check and not store credit.

Langdon Alger · Aug 1, 2016

Crap, I didn't keep my receipt.

I got the same email, but it was for the 980 ti I bought.

Sullichin · Aug 1, 2016

Anyone buy their 970 on Amazon and get an email about this? I have not yet.

Brannon · Aug 1, 2016

Does Fry's keep their receipts in-system for an extended period of time? If not I'm going to have to scrounge around for mine.

Figures the one time I forget to stuff a PC part-related receipt inside the sleeve taped to my PC is the one time I may actually need it

zerokoolpsx · Aug 1, 2016

Got an email from Newegg too about the lawsuit. Newegg gave me a partial refund when the ram was discovered and now this. I'll take that $30.

Justinh · Aug 1, 2016

I got the email for the 970 I bought from Newegg, but not from Amazon yet for either of the 970s I bought from them...

Does the 970m in my notebook count?

Only the (desktop) 970 is affected, due to the partially disabled ROP/MC partition configuration.

Yeah, your 970M counts if it has 3.5GB of fast VRAM and 0.5GB of slower VRAM.

Nerrel · Aug 2, 2016

The value on the 970 gets even better. At this point, between its sale price and bundled game savings and this settlement, I'll be down to having paid only $220 out of pocket for it. I just need the same perfect storm of deals to happens for the 1070... for now I'll just keep being poor.

shysaursoft · Aug 2, 2016

Talked to an Amazon rep about my 970 purchase from a few months ago. They said to contact Nvidia about the refund. Pity.

I understand, but Newegg is handling this way better.

Pantaghana · Aug 2, 2016

I wonder how they'll handle this outside the US, bought mine at a local retailer in September last year. I'd be fine if they could add 30$ (or equivalent in ) to my Steam wallet.

This is U.S. Only. A separate suit would have to come about where you live.

Anyone buy from micro center?

any news on when the settlement checks will actually be sent out?

They should have been sent out no later than January 20th (December 7th approval date + 14 days for Nvidia to send the money to KCC + 30 days for KCC to distribute it), but it seems nobody has received one yet. KCC may be able to tell you more; it set up a website for the case and there's a number you can call.

BasicMath · Apr 19, 2017

Got it today.

Coma Ecliptic · Jul 18, 2017

Sorry to bump this, but I just got my $30 check today. It was seemingly out of nowhere, never got a confimation, never got an email, never could check status and I just assumed I wouldn't get it.

Gives me hope for my check to come.
