Suddenly the internet echo chamber is crying out about problems with the GTX970/980. I'm not sure what is real life or what is fantasy in this case.

Give it a month. Never early adopt... well anything expensive really.

What sort of problems?
-
One: Notable number of coil whine.
Two: VRAM usage can go to shit at around 3.5 GB. It either caps out right there or if it uses the full 4 GB, your performance will take a dump.
For the coil whine, there are enough cases to warrant RMAs. For the VRAM issue, it may be a firmware issue or a hardware issue.
I think most of the problems are with the 970. The 980 doesn't seem to have as much problems.
