They banned hardware unboxed for not talking much about Ray tracing lmfao. Theyre trying to go full commie, basically threatening them either start focusing more on that shit or don't get our shit before release.

Unboxed statement:
Nvidia have officially decided to ban us from receiving GeForce Founders Edition GPU review samples

Their reasoning is that we are focusing on rasterization instead of ray tracing.

They have said they will revisit this "should your editorial direction change".


Pissed off a lot of reviewers like jay2centz, Linus, etc.

Both should be addressed equally imo as they compliment each other in a finished product.
IIRC One sets the scene/depth (rasterizationn) while the other applies your nice lighting effects to create depth.

I kinda wanna see the material in particular they are bitching about, tbh seems like a BS excuse if nothing else.
Both companies imo are doing shitty things atm, AMD just started getting back in the scene so we will see how
they manage their product going forward.

What's funny is steve from HW unboxed, in his video literally says "We're going make a standalone raytracing focused review of the new 3000 series."

oh and NVIDIA also uses HW unboxeds quote in their marketing materials for dlss saying it's "Extremely impressive"

Proof: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/technologies/dlss/

TL:DR They're two faced liars.

Yeah. Fuck Nvidia. I'm done with them I think. I was thinking about a 3k series card too. They're corrupt as fuck.

1 hour 20 minutes. Yeah I need a time stamp. I can't listen to Linus ramble anymore like it was 2013.

It was a solid ramble, he picked it apart line by line relativly well spoken tbh.

glad he's standing up for review outlets 5% as big as he is, he can do way more to hold NVIDIA accountable than anyone else can.
