How these sites can do a Fury-xfire review while the reputable sites can't? If the supply is that low you must ensure that the reputable sites get them first.

One big revelation I arrived at over the past few months is the immense power of branding. I knew it, but didn't fully grasp its power.

The fact that these so called lesser sites are doing things that should be pursued by any so called premium site should give us pause and we should reconsider who is really premium. Sites drop tests, react arrogantly and rest on past achievements.

Blind following in the face of mediocrity is not something we should do. Maybe, we should constantly reevaluate sites.

Quite odd that both sites used the 5820K at stock speed. What is real world about that? If you're not going to OC, just buy a 4790K, for pete's sake.

Hardware.fr is pretty professional? They tested 4K maxed settings. Fury X CF stomped on 980Ti SLI, which they found throttle due to temps on default settings.
