Rest of the world numbers:
It is not the first time we see this pattern. Actually, most of their latest reviews are the same.

What a change! 290X went from competing with gtx770 up to fighting with gtx780ti.
It is not a matter of fabricating results, they just put amazing amount of work into finding a "perfect" test spots and settings.
I guess it is not anything new and everyone already knew what is going on.
It just shows how much one can manipulate test procedures to suit their needs.
