but some of the utter garbage I see from review sites does make me wonder if Nvidia is going around paying people off. Take for example last year when Maxwell came out.
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_980/31.html
At the end their conclusion is "Oh, and AMD seems fucked"
You can wrap it up by saying we recommend this amazing product over everything else on the market right now, but this childish outburst just reeks of cheerleading for one side.

That comment ended up being extremely accurate though.

If people want reviewers to stop sugarcoating things then they shouldn't complain when things aren't sugarcoated. The GM204 release did mess up AMD's GPU sales. And it's still doing so a year after release. The comment was pretty much 100% on point.

The game might shift a lot of units due to the brand but there's no way that it's going to be on many GOTY lists.

Just look at the news that's coming out. Every time it's about DICE/EA removing something from the game or how it doesn't have feature X. The most recent one is the lack of a bloody server browser. That alone means that the game is pretty much a fail on PC but it's just the start of the things the game is missing.

If all reviews become editorialized opinions, particularly commenting on the future of the only other competitor, doesn't it become a fulfilling prophecy? How does a comment like this insert objectivity, or relevance, in the review of the product being reviewed?

Its not about the effect of GM204 on AMD GPU sales. Its about the reviewer cheerleading for a certain GPU brand or vendor (in this case Nvidia). The same statement can be said as - "AMD are in serious trouble" or "GM204 is going to give AMD a lot of headache."

The tone of the language used there is unbecoming of an editor of a leading tech site and more representative of how they literally rejoice at any successful Nvidia product launch and also a tone of disrespect for the much smaller and now much weaker AMD.

Dying Light, Witcher 3, MGS V, Fallout 4 ,Fable legends, and ARK Survival are grantee to contest for Game of the year 2015 which are all Nvidia sponsored so can tell any AMD sponsored game which can compete with them.

Are Fallout 4 and Fable Legends Nvidia? Even without those Nvidia does seem to have the stronger year. Overall AMD seemed rather low profile this year, and a lack of game bundles!

Hitman (6) could have some high upside and might be a quality sleeper for AMD. Is the new X-Com and Beyond Earth Expansion going to be GE titles?

AMD seems like they will have a much stronger line next year, assuming release dates, contracts hold and no major disappointments -

Deus Ex Mankind Divided
Mass Effect Andromeda
Mirror's Edge 2
Rise of the Tomb Raider

Unless Nvidia gets some surprise wins.

U are totally clueless.

Mass effect and Mirror Edge 2 is Nvidia Gameworks title.

You are attacking people with:
"U are totally clueless."

Your post could have been made without that comment.

AMD failed hard now since GTX 990M is here with far lower consumption.
And if NVIDIA is.smart, they could put on normal ITX boards as premium graphics, making it cost more, yeah, but definately far lower than Fury Nano.

Also nVIDIA can simply.launch the GTX 980Ti mini at less than 500 dollars and take down the Fail Nano.

Do you really think it's that simple to design a new card?

That would be good, NV should do it. More competition = good for gamers.

Strange that you think AMD failed if they promote NV to get off their ass and innovate and offer gamers a better deal.

That kind of thinking doesn't belong to a gamer, it belong to suits in wallstreet.

From what I see GTX 990M is GM204 based GPU with 150W of TDP. So it should be slower than Nano and consume comparable amount of power.

I'm pretty sure the sugarcoating reason is also the manufacturers..

Did you?

Nowhere is gameworks mentioned. The previous mirrors edge used GPU PhysX heavily (And was nearly unplayable with it turned on unless you had a top tier card dedicated to PhysX), but this new one uses the Frostbite engine, it doesn't use PhysX or Gameworks.

Wow, that's embarrassing. What an unprofessional blog of a website. They were making fun of the card before they got it, then wondered why they didn't receive one, then get their teenage angst on and make fun of it more. It was obvious before AMD decided not to send them a card that they hated it, and now it is more obvious since they have nothing to hide (not that they were hiding much before).

They did the same with the Titan, yet still reviewed.

AMD is only going to hurt itself...again.

I remember their glowing review of Titan. It read like a justification appeal to the users of how these kinds of luxury products made sense. It has been a while, but I do think they used the "luxury" term there, and even mentioned how good the card looked (visually) and was deserving of its price.

From the tone of that review, I am extremely surprised, if they had derided the Titan product announcement originally.

Wait, we're talking about buy a sign in times square AMD, right?

Do you know that the giant eight-story video screen in Times Square has been recently placed, and is driven by AMD Firepro cards? There were lots of articles when it was originally set into place and switched on. I am pretty sure AMD as the backend technology partner got few minutes of ad there, heavily discounted, if not for free. AMD were mentioned in most of the news articles about the ad screen anyway.

The way most web forums took this ad was, as if AMD decided that Fury series of cards needed a Times Square ad, and then spent several million dollars in arranging that.

They are working on that right now. I'm expecting them to throw themselves on the ground and start screaming and kicking their feet any moment now...
