It would actually make sense because OBR posts his nvidia fanboy bullcrap constantly. He's full of hot air just like rollo is.

Anyway, is it normal for nvidia to hold such an event for "reviews"? Do they want specific (skewed) testing conditions that they determine? I don't get it, I haven't heard
of amd/nv doing such things for release reviews.

I am relieved to know that you feel the same way about OBR's polar opposite as well. Phew.

As for the rest of your post? I can't even begin to understand how you come to your "conclusions". It's like you're on another planet when I see your interpretations of what you read/hear.

skewed? W I T H?

Dunno :awe: Seems kind of weird to have such an event specifically for reviewers. I fully acknowledge that I am probably way off :D Or maybe i'm misinterpreting the event altogether so don't hate me too much.

I've been wrong twice in the past :thumbsup: Here's hoping to some meaningful benchmarks today or tomorrows!

I don't think we are getting full reviews tomorrow. I think tomorrow is going to be the technical NDA being lifted. I hope I am wrong though.

Ok, but weird in what way?
Sorry, I'm just trying to understand your comments. And trying to understand the interpretation and conclusion you have actually come to.

It might be too much for you to grasp keysplayr, maybe you should just let it go..

I'd rather let you go instead

Not exactly a far fetched conclusion. OBR is amongst the nvidia shill sites on the net, along with ABT etc. Would not be a leap to assume rollo, nvidia viral/shill, would be involved.

rollo claims he is not OBR, which would make me tend to believe he is. :sneaky:

I sure hope in the next 24 hours we get some concrete info.

Sounds like he had a slipup on xtremesystems, he might be behind OBR. Who knows though.

Given the blatant anti AMD history of OBR and pro nvidia flagwaving in the past, it is definitely plausible.

It is just plain interesting watching how rumors unfold and come into existence.
Knowledge certainly is power. You either ignored posts 1107 and 1108 that you were directed to, or found a way to explain it away to yourself and leaned more towards the conspiratorial meme. What would Freud say... ;)

I would imagine that the typical reviewer's guide does this as well. Maybe just taking it to the next level? I can understand a company not trusting the Press to not do a hack job. Maybe with Kepler it's a bit more complicated. With the rumors of wildly varying performance, and all.

Yep, and Charlie stated that GK104 would have wildly varying performance depending on application so maybe Nvidia is trying to create an extremely controlled testing environment? I'm just speculating here, but based on NV's shenanigans in the past I wouldn't put it past them. If history has shown anything, their marketing methods and such are shady to say the least. This is why i've always found nvidia distasteful despite them making good hardware.. that and their fanbase is so full of hotair...anyway..I'll still buy their stuff (if its good) but its like me buying an apple product. I cannot stand the people behind the company and usually root against them. I probably wouldn't shed a tear if a nuke was dropped on Apple HQ, I kid of course.

I especially loved how nvidia hyped the GTX 480 to death and bragged of it being 5 times faster than the 5870. We all know what happened there, and if I were a betting man I bet the same thing will happen this time. Same or slightly faster speed despite all of the hype , fake slides and rumors. But how many people honestly think that Kepler == 3 GTX 580s? Nvidia hype marketing machine at work, gotta love it.

Hardwarecanucks guy: "I didn't see OBR there, he wasn't there"
Rollo replies: "yes I was"
Rollo later replies (random damage control nonsense)

rollo probably isn't OBR but they both certainly are the same mold and post the same stupid nonsense.
