GPU manufacturers are asking reviewers to avoid comparison between RTX 50 and 40.

The representative said that RTX 40 is anyway no longer produced (referring to the end of life, which is a completely different term when the card will not get new drivers ages later). And openly pushed the reviewer to agree on making a misleading review to get a sample card.

Okay, imagine a handheld but it's E-Ink Handheld... a funky low power device for slow paced games 😳

NVIDIA only allowed RTX 5060 to be tested in 5 games, only with x3 frame generation in 1080p. And only if the review compares it to RTX 3060 and RTX 2060 Super, not all the cards.

The limitations are set via the special driver and some funky deal between NVIDIA and reviewers. This is why you may not expect real reviews to come out early enough, they found a few fake reviews instead!

Pimax VR was running a special rewards program where users could get Steam gift cards and even trip to their headquarters from making reviews on websites.

Just to be clear: their devices were ahead of time, but this is a very questionable business practice.

Do you remember the unsinkable Nokia? Intel lost its place among top-10 chipmakers and will have to fire even more people.
