that pattern is broken with their review of 980tiNo conspiracy.
I prefer to post what's factual thankyou. If you want to go whine about it feel free.Think about reforming that sentence ^^^^^ before the Dons see it.
You seem mad.
It's got absolutely nothing to do with Nvidia or AMD or conspiracy theories,
Why do you have to make it about brands?
It's about what the card is designed for and it's designed to go in a small case which will undoubtedly have restricted air flow. It's about a card that is designed in a way that it will throttle if it gets too hot. A review is meant to show prospective buyers what sort of results they'll get once they have the card installed and in use. Testing it on an open bench is going to maximise it's ability to avoid throttling and it's going to give very different results to the results someone who buy's it and puts it in an ITX build gets.

I expect them to do benchmarking using a number of cards so they would need to swap out the cards quickly hence the open test rig. They may be using different OS drives too for quicker swapping rather than uninstalling drivers, etc.
They should be doing the temperature tests inside a closed case but you'd have to ask them about that.
So you think, the game benchmarks would all be in the open air ( an environment the card is much less likely to throttle in) and yet the temperature tests can be done in a closed system ( with the microphone on the outside by any chance ?).
Yup that really seems like a fair way to test such a card.
All these tests should be done with the cards nestled in their natural habitat, inside a closed case, if the card is designed to be for SFF then it should be tested as such.
If the reviews show near FuryX performance and yet the few customers that get cards early on ( probably very few) have massive throttling issues due to temperature then I do hope AMD get taken to task for it.
seriously do you guys know how to read?
he did say, that he expects the review site in question to run it like he said. He did not say that it should be run like that.
You are the second person in this page who lost an ability to read and understand the meaning of sentences.
neither me earlier, nor fs123 ever implied that open bench test is right for nano or any other GPU, yet we have you guys come at us with brand wars and other crap :/
Ok ability to read. Where did I accuse him of anything.
Oh, we are playing the read things how you want to read them, then accuse people of doing stuff game are we. ok if you really must.
I was clarifying what he thought and then suggesting that all the test were done in the environment the cards would be used in.
As for the sarcasm, Do you think it would be a fair way to test the Nano ? I certainly don't, nor any other card.
Ok, lets not do this.
We all agree that the way these things are tested probably wont be as they are intended to be used and that it is the same with all cards, so lets just see what the results are on Thursday.
I apologise to fs123 if my post seemed accusatory.
