NVIDIA's Dirty Manipulation of Reviews
-
When I fought Nvidia over this âeditorial directionâ push that theyâve been pursuing in our call, which Iâve recorded and I am prepared to release if I have to because Nvidia was also recording those calls and both parties were aware that Nvidia was recording those call because they were calls for the press.
Just to be clear, Nvidia, I am prepared to release them if I need to reinforce my statements today.
But in those calls I repeatedly pointed out that this whole thing of pursuing a certain editorial like pushed narrative; that creates a transparency problem.

TL;DW: Theyâre on record trying to make reviewers lie by doing things like include multi frame generation on charts with cards that donât support that. And Steve is, in his own words, going scorched earth.

Do they do reporting with AMD engineers? If not, AMD should be jumping on this as fast as possible.

This is so stupid. Any benchmark with upscaling or frame generation techniques is totally useless.

Glad to see this becoming more public. Been brewing for years now. Too bad theyâre this way with the press, but as Steve points out, gaming isnât important to them anymore. We got them where they are, but they found a golden goose with âai,â and theyâre milking (a goose?) it for all they can.
For all I care, Nvidia can disappear. The last/only Nvidia card I owned was the Geforce 2 GTS. I think I played Unreal Tournament or Quake 2 on it.

Love Steve. Heâs done some really hard hitting pieces.

There are probably going to be a lot of them in the next week or so.
He said in the video that heâs reached out to reviewers across the world to see if different representatives mirror the same wording/phrasing. To try and absolve the representatives, and put the blame on the executives distributing these demands. Many confirmed his suspicions. So a lot of them are probably going to follow the example of him and these others, and release their own callout.

It usually is, but theyâre obsessed with promoting new tech.
They wanted them to use MFG 4x and DLSS4 comparisons against cards that donât support that version. They literally wanted them to lie to people who are watching a review and might buy the card. Depending on how itâs phrased in communication with different reviewers, some jurisdictions might take notice.

Just inspired me to go buy another shirt from them, thanks!
