When I fought Nvidia over this “editorial direction” push that they’ve been pursuing in our call, which I’ve 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: They’re on record trying to make reviewers lie by doing things like include multi frame generation on charts with cards that don’t support that. And Steve is, in his own words, going scorched earth.
Thanks for the TLDW! +1🫡
Love Steve. He’s done some really hard hitting pieces.

Do they do reporting with AMD engineers? If not, AMD should be jumping on this as fast as possible.
Glad to see this becoming more public. Been brewing for years now. Too bad they’re this way with the press, but as Steve points out, gaming isn’t important to them anymore. We got them where they are, but they found a golden goose with “ai,” and they’re 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.
