Nvidia have confirmed that they provided the wrong specifications for the Geforce GTX 970 graphics card, and there's fewer ROPS, less memory bandwidth and cache than advertised.
The text from Change.org campaign for the GTX 970 reads as follows:
"Nvidia advertised the GTX 970 as having 4GB of vram running at 224GB/S, it was later revealed that the first 3.5GB operates at 192GB/s (7/8th) while the remaining 0.5GB operates at 1/8th that speed.
Also mentioned in the review guide, the GTX 970 was supposed to operate with 64ROPs and 2MB L2 Cache, the actual specs were revealed to be only 52ROPs and 1.78MB L2 Cache.
It was made official by Nvidia that they made a mistake in advertising. Whether or not they lied is irrelevant. Customers were misled by the factually incorrect specs listed on the packaging.
When using GPU-Z, the specs actually reflect this error which still incorrectly reads the card as having 64ROPs, ie. a cover-up.
It is believed that Nvidia should offer it's customers a refund or at the very least acknowledgement and compensation, perhaps in the form of a "step-up" program, so the customer can choose what is best for them."
