Refund or wait for driver update??

I wonder if this explains some of the problems over in the BSOD Forum??

Upcoming driver could improve GTX 970's memory performance

Nvidia really stepped in a pile of PR poo when it was discovered that there was an internal communication gaffe over the way the GeForce GTX 970 handles its 4GB of onboard memory and the resulting specs.
