They're partners, yes. HU provides written content for TechSpot in addition to doing their own video content.TechSpot is Hardware Unboxed, though
You mean this article? Or maybe you mean this one, where in the 4th paragraph he says expect a detailed look at all things RT and DLSS in the coming days(literally the very next day, 2 days before you made this absurd post). Are people just looking for reasons to love Nvidia?Steve wrote about the 500 hours of benchmarking he did for his Techspot Cyberpunk article - which I read until the end only to discover there were no scores for, nor any discussion of, the title’s ray tracing or DLSS support.
It did provide valuable information about the 5500XT’s 4K performance, though (8 - 15 FPS, depending on quality preset). It was probably very interesting to someone that only 6 of the 25 tested cards broke 30 FPS in that res.
But me I was mostly left wondering.. PC Cyberpunk without RT? Who on earth gives the slightest fk? So I just went back to DF to try and find something that had a sense of joy and awe to impart about this fabulous industry.
Yeah, I agree with some of the posts here. I can see why Nvidia might not care for Steve/HU’s priorities either.

As for who cares about Cyberpunk without RT, I'd say the 95%+ of people who will be playing it without RT.
Me and probably 99% of the rest of the PC gamers out there without the hardware to run RT with any kind of decent framerates?But me I was mostly left wondering.. PC Cyberpunk without RT? Who on earth gives the slightest fk?
He didn't mention AMD once; you did. The fact that you think if someone says they are looking for ways or reasons to love nVidia automatically puts them in the AMD camp says more about you than about them.I’ve seen that Nvidia vs AMD is a topic that is very dear to your heart but I don’t see how that question relates to my post.
I would still like to find out how does a hardware vendor writes such an email speaking for all gamers.
It's nice to see the channel simply move on, but it's a bit scary that someone else, more dependant on day one reviews, might have cracked under the pressure.

Where exactly did HUB claim they speak for every gamer? At most, they speak for their audience, which according to polls don't see RT that important at this moment either.The same as a channel can speak for every gamer?
Still find it interessting that HBU bias against Raytracing and DLSS is for most acceptable...
A culture of dominance and pretentious wankery at Nvidia for years?I would still like to find out how does a hardware vendor writes such an email speaking for all gamers.
Would you consider the hardware in the video adequate and the frames acceptable given it's not running RT?Me and probably 99% of the rest of the PC gamers out there without the hardware to run RT with any kind of decent framerates?

Of course you can argue which games are "more important" in the list. But we are reviewing for a general audience with a wide range of use cases. What you play is not always what others play. And you have all the data in the review to make a buying decision for your use case
Where exactly in their coverage have they exhibited anything that would suggest any bias against those technologies? No, still valuing rasterization higher at this time is not bias against RT and DLSS, and heck, NVIDIA even uses quote from Hardware Unboxed praising DLSS on their page.
And "Speaking for their audience" makes this channel a club, huh? Doesnt sound very neutral and fair.
I linked to the 6800XT review. HUB has called better raytracing support and DLSS "questionable features" and "no mayor selling point".
I said "at most they speak for their audience" as in that's the most they could claim to speak for. That's different from them claiming or doing such.
And "Speaking for their audience" makes this channel a club, huh? Doesnt sound very neutral and fair. What is with new viewers finding their reviews through google and youtube searches?
Questionable how? Give the context, as it's been suggested that's quite dirty quote mining.I linked to the 6800XT review. HUB has called better raytracing support and DLSS "questionable features" and "no mayor selling point".
