NVIDIA's previous generation offering — the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 — was a top performer all around despite its relatively affordable price tag. The graphics card was a favorite amongst PC builders, gamers, and enthusiasts as it was able to deliver optimal performance without going too over the top.

However, NVIDIA's marketing and labeling shenanigans may have finally caught up with them as they have now agreed to issue a $30 refund to each and every customer in the United States that purchased the GPU.

The false advertising lawsuit against the company was launched when a couple of testers had discovered slight discrepancies in the GPU's advertised performance specs. NVIDIA had marketed the GeForce GTX 970 to contain 4 GB of VRAM and 64 render outputs. The figures were not just on the packaging itself but was also highly used by the company to sell their product.

Unfortunately, the test results did not really show those exact figures. According to several findings, the GTX 970 was only able to go up to 3.5 GB of VRAM instead of 4 GB. The card also only had 56 render outputs instead of 56. While the differences are not really that substantial, it was enough for some consumers to file a lawsuit against the company.

Those who have purchased the GTX 970 between September 1, 2014 and August 24, 2016 are eligible for the $30 refund. This includes units that were manufactured by NVIDIA's third party partners such as Asus, EVGA, Gigabyte, Sparkle, and other companies who rebranded the GTX 970 chip. Consumers who bought Ready-built PC units that came with the GTX 970 GPU are also eligible for the refund.

If all of the aforementioned criteria are met, then consumers will then need to go to the refund's official website and sign up for the refund. The deadline for claims will be on Nov. 30. There is also no limit for refunds, which means that big companies who bought the cards in bulk can still claim $30 for every unit they bought as long as they have their proof of purchase handy.
