After the specification controversy of the GeForce GTX 970 hit the mainstream tech media, lots of people who bought this card decided to return it as they felt they were the victim of deceptive marketing.

But just how high are the return rates? Some data is starting to roll in and while it seems quite a few people are returning their card, the percentage is in the lower single digits. Research firm Jon Peddie claims they've heard reports about return rates as high as 5 percent, whereas major retailers in the UK report just 1-2 percent.
But how are the return rates on them? Well, according to analyst firm Jon Peddie Research, not many. Jon Peddie from JPR has said: "I have heard as many as 5 per cent of the buyers are demanding a refund from the AIB suppliers". Retailers are reporting just 1-2%, with two of the UK's biggest retailers offering refunds for the GPU, where they have until the end of this month to box up their GTX 970 and return it.
