OCN is still mildly decent as long as you avoid the obvious trolls on both sides. [H}ard was actually pretty decent when I joined a year ago, but has become a complete green cesspool in the recent few months.

I remember when [H] used to pride itself on buying graphics card of the shelf instead of relying on "suspicious" review samples.
AMD doesn't send [H] a free card, so what? Get one from Microcenter.

Yields must be horrible for the Fury GPU's
lol. So this card will be a ghost to chase. Is this a limited production run SKU that they can't even send it to major websites?
Also TPU had the most favorable review of Fury X that I remember reading.
Other than price, how have you objectively determined that they have a giant turd on their hands?
It's not nVidia. That's all it takes.

Such a great reason.
Competition is good, I don't understand why some people are so hellbent on taking down nVidia or AMD.
To be completely clear, calling an unreleased card a turd because "it's not nVidia" is an extremely shortsighted comment to make.
How about we, and I may be making a drastic claim here, wait until consumers get their hands on it since most, justifiable, think AMD is only giving cards to reviewers that will talk about them in a positive light. Then we can draw conclusions and make our verdicts from there?
Too drastic or am I being fair?
EDIT: Hell, I'm building in a smaller case soon, need a mITX GPU, and have some money laying around, I'll buy one and provide benches first hand here since [H] isn't getting one.

Have to say I wish I had some money laying around to buy one. Oh well, I just do not buy on impulse like I used to back in the 90's. (Not saying you are though.0

He was being sarcastic.
But in the end he's probably right anyway.

Trust me.
Trust me if this card was awesome they would be sending cards to everyone on the planet. The fact that they won't give TR and [H] a card is proof enough that they don't want an honest review of the card.
I think anyone who stated that they are going to test it on an SFF case got off the list of AMD. If a guy in open bench is claiming 5-10% throttling on the Nano, imagine if you throw it in the oven that is the SFF case.
All conjecture ofcourse. We will know on 10th, what's what.
I can understand them having a stricter policy on giving out review samples now, as it seems like these days any retard with a blog or youtube account can put out a "review".
I do feel that they should have sent a review sample to Hardocp, but at the same time, is is really that big of a deal actually having to buy the stuff that gets reviewed?
Who really thinks AMD (a supposed billion dollar corporation) can't scrape together an extra 3 or 4 cards for reviews?
Lol.
They gave one away yesterday during the live stream. I guess they had 1 extra.

I don't even think that they are being malicious or petty towards any tech website
Well then I guess they are cherry picking review sites.
Of course you don't. You would defend them if they were caught clubbing baby seals with their video cards. Oh that's right only NVIDIA has biased fans, AMD fans are all "fair and balanced". In fact AMD doesn't even have fans, every single one of them claims to not be a fan of any company.

People think different, hardforums got too many nvidia fanboys + kyle hangup = no card
Anyone that claims a site is bias without long standing evidence deserves to be ignored. If the company handling PR for AMD read the thread and decided not to send one based on that post they're fucking morons and AMD should dump them. Being petty is a terrible way for a PR agency to act. Though, most likely AMD told the PR agency they had x number of cards to send to reviewers and the agency decided to send them to people they believed would be more favorable to the card. It doesn't send a great message about their trust in the product but as far as PR decisions go it isn't a bad one.
It is really unfortunate and sad in this day and age that the days of having a civil discussion without rhetoric, personal bashing and providing honest information have gone to the wayside in this forum on [H]. It seems that nowadays all I see are people arguing which then deteriorates even further with non-topic related injection of manure flinging because one - or more - person/people cannot constructively voice their opinions with respect to the other.
I firmly believe if everyone here was held to the standards that [H] have set the video card forums would be a lot better place to obtain reliable information from; not just the reviews that [H] produces. For free to anyone, I might add.
