It's fairly obvious they are hiding nothing at all. Especially how they feel about some people feeling entitled to have a card for review after taking the ****.
There's an endless list of people happy to make a name for themselves by doing a review.

whens the release date of fury x

I should point out that those were all at 4K.
The point AMDMatt was making was that (Nvidia's) 4GB cards aren't enough for 4K. So I imagine that's turning everything up to max including AA.
June 24
24th, next week.
Yeah ill do all mine on max everything and 4k.

Ryan is OK, IMO he does honest reviews but is associated with Nvidia a lot.
Linus has a large following of prepubescent kids who game on their mums PC, he's not that relavent.
At a guess the review sites that do the best most honest reviews will get the card to bench, sites like
Bittech
Hexus
Andandtech
Eurogamer/digitalfoundry
And a few more I can't recall.

It's going to be a painful weekend of reading on these forums. Imagine if talks of new cards were banned until release day :O

Yeah they wanted them before AMD and even announced them at their own E3 event.
I'm sure Sony and Microsoft do the same thing, sending of brand new products to people like Ryan Shrout equivalent before they even publicly announce them
I mean really how entitled and unprofessional can you get, these guys crying over twitter. Slating AMD and now still expecting samples.
AMD are doing the right thing, by denying crying whiny men children.
Hi,
This point makes no rational sense. Vendors should base their samples on how much of an audience the reviewer has. The entire concept is in order to promote your products. Not deny reviewers on principle simply because they can.
Both Ryan Shrout and Linus have been very good to NVIDIA. This is the only reason they have been denied samples, and it reflects badly on AMD and nobody else.
AMD co hosted the worlds first ever E3 PC event, and chose that stage to launch their new GPU range.
There is no conspiracy here.
Why on earth would they send their new product samples to Ryan Shrout, or Kitguru samples before they did that?
It literally is the most stupid thing in the world for people to get upset about.
Do Sony send out the new products to the Ryan Shrout equivalent or KitGuru equivalent before even announcing their new products?
No ! No they bloody don't.
This is just more anti AMD rhetoric, unsurprisingly from the usual group here. It's getting sad now. It was already boring.
These entitled men children, crying, slating and now sat there expecting samples probably needed a wake up a call.
I think we can all take a lesson from this, don't be a crying whinge baby and expect people not to treat you like one.
Problem with both of those solutions is that both of those apply to the 290 series and never materialised. The Bizlink adapter has been "coming soon" for at least 12 months, and GPU vendors never deviated from the baseline connections on the 200 series.
Meanwhile nVidia added HDMI 2.0 to the first cards they released after the standard was finalised, and they even had a pretty good stab at providing the best solution they could for their existing Keplar cards as well.
So even if someone else sorts this problem on AMD's behalf, it's quite ridiculous that I'm still in this situation.
Also makes no sense. How does a reviewer get an audience with no products to review?
Regardless of that logic - that's just not how it works in the real world. For anything.
This thread is going to need a few more clean ups before the 24th I reckon. Can't believe the review sample line of discussion is even a thing.

Is it worth me getting a couple of the Fury X's for 4K? I have seen VRAM mentioned a lot and 4GB is not enough for 1440P or above in some games. You guys seem to be clued up so what do you think please?
Soldato
Hi,
You misunderstood. I was referring to the purpose of review samples from the vendors perspective. The only reason the thread will need cleaning again is because people are up on the defensive once more unnecessarily.
Soldato
HBM is new, we don't know how well it copes. But from leaked benchmarks it seems to struggle when over 4k (5k+)
But get 4, because overkill
yeh and i dont see the point of typing much if the thread is just going to get deleted again at any time...lol
Soldato
Agreed! LambChop seeing how much you hate anything amd, won't buy games that have amd partnership. You spend a lot of your time in amd threads.
We get it you hate amd.
That's not even the issue. reviewers were all going to get samples.
These guys wanted samples before AMD had even announced them at E3.
They publicly cried about it and slated AMD, trying to portray it as some kind of tin foil hat conspiracy.
Now AMD have actually had the chance to announce their products they are sending out samples for reviewers. And if AMD have chosen not to send them to people who have publicly slated them and acted like entitled cry babies. Good for them. AMD is doing the right thing. Only other cry babies would think otherwise.
