It doesn't mean other reviewers were influenced, but it is a very ugly move by Nvidia.
It is not like HU was ignoring ray tracing.
After HWU's coverage of Ampere vs Navi 21 not really, they are heavily skewed almost everything towards AMD.Is anyone honestly surprised by this?
How do they heavily skew towards AMD? Do you know how infrequently they have recommended AMD GPUs over the last 8 years?After HWU's coverage of Ampere vs Navi 21 not really, they are heavily skewed almost everything towards AMD.
But still this is a weird move on NV's part as all it does is alienate the review outlet and give fanboys fuel for conspiracy theories. HWU will still get NV cards obviously, from AIBs and via purchasing them on their own.
Not something which I would do in NV's place for sure.

HWU have also run a couple of pols of their subscribers to gauge interest in ray tracing, and the results show that a significant majority of them aren't that interested in it.
Nvida have always been scummy, unfortunately they do make really good hardware

Just like they use NVIDIA sponsored games without mentioning it. Like pretty much every single outlet out there does no matter which logo is in the game.It doesn't matter how often something happened over any number of years, it's not a cumulative.
They've ignored RT comparisons, they've skimmed on DLSS, they've used AMD sponsored games without mentioning that, they've made some really weird assumptions based on Turing vs Ampere RT testing, they've went on record a couple of times saying that AMD's launch will be better with zero information to back it up, etc.
I don't think that they've deserved such cutting off from NV but it's hard to argue that their Ampere coverage was pretty bad in objectivity when even some regulars on AMD's reddit said so.
Very true ^^
I don't approve Nvidia move but HUB has been incredibly biased towards AMD with the 6000 series launch. The most shocking example is when he said "I'm more excited by AMD SAM than Ray Tracing". Totally insane...
On quite the contrary, Steve constantly mentions that a game is NV sponsored when that's the case. I know cause I watch them.Just like they use NVIDIA sponsored games without mentioning it.
There's a time every review should provide all data which there is to the viewers instead of going with "we won't touch this cause we don't like it". The latter is the red sign of not being objective in your review. And HWU's coverage of Nv h/w was full of this shit for the last couple of years.Care to elaborate on the "Skimmed on DLSS" portion? Is there some specific time every review needs to be praising DLSS no matter if they like it themselves or not?
I trust you can find all the relevant information yourself. But just going through the list without actually checking - 6 out these 18 titles are heavily skewed towards AMD h/w in their performance without any good reasons for them to while 0 (that's zero) titles from these are showing the same for NV h/w. Talk about benchmarking suite selection.Could you please mark the games that are allowed to be used and are not allowed to be used by reviewers without being "skewed AMD fans"
They are consistently beating the drum of RT being not relevant or important even when consoles are sporting it and when PC games left and right are supporting it.It is not like HU was ignoring ray tracing.
Exactly.I don't approve Nvidia move but HUB has been incredibly biased towards AMD with the 6000 series launch. The most shocking example is when he said "I'm more excited by AMD SAM than Ray Tracing". Totally insane...
So reviews should be dictated by polls now? Reviews should be objective not subjective or under the influence of the reviewer personal opinion.Their polls on their readers suggest that they're not that excited by raytracing either. I guess they must all be superbiased too.
