If there was such a thing as the video card hall of fame, the GTX 970 would be in it. With DX12 pooling VRAM and the 970's modest power requirements, SLI makes it viable for a long time going forward.
Too bad Nvidia couldn't have marketed it as a 3.5 +.5 card somehow. I still would have bought one and it's not like there haven't been weird variants with other cards like the 560 Ti 448 or the Tahiti LE "Myst".
By their nature, Nvidia is sneaky, though, and Huang's lecturing tone towards customers by saying, "Instead of being excited that we invented a way to increase memory of the GTX 970 from 3GB to 4GB, some were disappointed..." really, REALLY rubbed me in all the wrong ways.
I liked the first Watch Dogs just fine. It wasn't the mind blower that was billed as the first of a new generation, but I never felt like I was wasting my time playing it.
I actually remember quite a bit of it, which, sadly enough, I can't say for many of the bazillion games I've played over the years.
