You really are a desperate fella aren't you. Why would their editorial view need amendment?

Nvidia quoted hardware unboxed to promote DLSS No they spam the thread in defense of corporations and make accusations to compensate. At least I know who to avoid listening to in this forum. :)

The converse is problematic, providing favourable reviews in exchange for free samples and early access. Something the vast majority of people are against. I don't understand why you'd want a review that's pre-approved by a manufacturer anyway. Is this a proper gpu forum?

The fact you're even suggesting that question blows my mind. Not even the Nvidia subreddit, with far less technical standards, suggests what pharma and PSman are raving about. Nvidia should definitely consider enlisting them at this point

If an Nvidia review is effectively marketing, why consider it credible or objective at all? We don't know the contents of the NDA either.

Now post the Nvidia subforum comments on the issue :)

If AMD gives you a brand spanking new 6900XT should you review Godfall for 3 minutes, change your testing rig to a 5950X, turn on SAM, Rage Mode and fill the benchmark list with raster based titles? They didn't do it but should they have done it?

I lurked for a while to learn about the microarchitectures. But the fact that posters are willing to accept editorial direction from manufacturers is astonishing. I firmly believe that you wouldn't accept AMD demanding raster based titles and minimization of RT, enforcement of SAM, Rage Mode or...

Their conclusion is correct. Despite Jensen Huang claiming that the 3070 is faster than the 2080ti its on par or only slightly ahead according to TPU's review.

AMD didn't enforce SAM, Rage Mode or AMD CPUs for that matter

They offer differing RT quality modes on the same game but also state a general level of performance (3060ti = 2080Super). It's not misrepresentation but insufficiently favorable representation at stake here. I am surprised how far the PC world has come. I still remember Nvidia trying to force...

Currying favour to obtain review samples has the potential to affect results

What constitutes an exhaustive review of a product? If I drive a new EV to the tilt to examine driving pleasure is the corporation allowed to blacklist me?

Has Nvidia provided a sufficiently large library of ray-tracing enabled games to dictate ray-tracing test methodology though?

I understand that you're comfortable with such practises but many people aren't
