Exactly. This whole lawsuit thing is ridiculous. I've owned probably 20 video cards over the years. I couldn't tell you the L2 cache amount of any of them. Never looked it up for any of them, couldn't have cared less. If Nvidia was intentionally trying to deceive buyers, I can't imagine L2 cache size is one of the specs they chose to lie about. I can't remember any review of the 970 stating what a phenomenal ROP/$ value the 970 was. They all raved about the performance/$ at unseen efficiency levels. None of that changed with the intentional or not change in specs.
Only thing I care about is price/performance, stability and more recently, noise and heat. If I opened the box of my new video card and 3 self sustaining midgets with crayons jumped out and into my PC case and performed exactly as the reviews say my card should perform, I would be fine with that.
Why would any knowledgeable PC user buy parts based on specs rather than actual measured performance? Are there really people that go to reviews, read just the spec comparison charts at the beginning and skip all the benchmarks, and then make their buying decision? That's your own fault.
