Typical Nvidia scummy tactics. I'm actually a little surprised to see the usual suspects cheering for this, I understand having a brand preference but this is unquestionably a shitty move from Nvidia.
It sounds like a poor move. But think about it. You have an outlet thats publicly shitting on your products features and options, in their forums, social media, reviews. Constantly, many, many times. Misrepresenting and ignoring key features that you use as a selling point.
Even dismissing nvidia vs amd, the fact that steve is forcing his personal stance on this onto his reviews is not professional.
3 days ago, we had WOW Shadowlands becoming the fastest selling PC game in history. Almost 4 million copies in 24 hours. Then 2 days later, we have the biggest game since GTA 5 in 2013 becoming itself the fastest PC selling game in history at almost 5 million copies just from preorders alone. Cyberpunk.
Both have ray tracing. Watch Dogs Legion has ray tracing. Call of Duty has RT. Hitman 3 and Far Cry 6 have RT. Witcher 3 will get a patch for it next year. The next Call of Duty has RT. The 2 biggest games in the world have RT - Minecraft and Fortnite. The next Battlefield will have it. At this point, to dismiss RT or continue with the "arent enough games, i cant see the difference,etc" means the person is either a mouth breading imbecile or has an agenda. Guess which one techspot falls into.
PC Games Hardware has a larger selection than them for benchmarks, so does Computer Base. So does TechpoweUP. With very new and older games. None have AMD coming on top, at any resolution. Except one. Hardware unboxed/Techspot.
Its an AMD leaning website that misrepresents nvidia in order for AMD to appear different that they are. If you were in charge at nvidia, you'd do the same. The nvidia coverage of this website feels like its doing everything to misrepresent nvidia and inflate AMD.
And we can sure how their reporting will go from now on. Doing everything behind the scenes to favour AMD (turning the AC when testing AMD so it runs cooler and boosts higher and turning it off for nvidia testing. Running benchmarks 5 times and choosing the best one for AMD and the worst one for nvidia instead of doing an average.)
