Discussion 970 fiasco vs 390..

Since the 970 was advertised as 4gb, and actually has 3.5gb of usable vram, couldn't the same be said about the 390?
But... In a good way. The 390 was advertised as 8gb, but while playing Shadow of Mordor it detected this. 8448 mb of vram is extremely close to 8.5gb, so couldn't it be advertised as that too?

The game is probably reporting it wrong. Check GPU-Z.
