[TweakTown] Nvidia's Strong-arm Tactics - How they treat GPU Partners and Media - Page 24

post #231 of 286
Wait, by the same logic it means that pirates who put out cracked version of games are not pirates because they released it for evaluation before official releases date...

Why do you bump this thread all the time? 0.o let it go... there's is 0.000000001 chance that huge company like nvidia does even know this blog exist.
And MSI are those who are to be punished. They gave the card well ahead release date to some kids who posted review instead of waiting for its time.
Or is MSI entitled to choose when to start sales and reviews? I don't think so...
tt are childish and they childish actions are punished. What's the big deal?

Oh yeah, wait, nvidia mus obey. /omw to register blog and demand free cards from nvidia and partners.

They had problems sourcing a 580. And a 480. But nVidia is willing to co-operate in midrange cards. Well, that's what they said in the 580 article. I'm gonna hunt through some more reviews.

Oh, and in regards to the professor/mentor thing: she'd likely tell me the same thing that I've repeated just shortly ago: determine whether the source is reliable for reasons x, y, z before using it in an essay/argument wink.gif
I just meant if she did what she taught you what conclusion would she come to.

So far, we can determine the following information: the source is TweakTown, a PC enthusiast site that reviews computer hardware and obtains the majority of their funding likely from website visitation hits.
We can also determine that TweakTown has at one point had a prior relationship with Nvidia and now that relationship has become strained due to various claims made by TweakTown. The confirmed tension relationship between Tweaktown and Nvidia automatically tells me that I should be looking for another source to validate said claims by Tweaktown. Furthermore, the fact that said article is receiving web hits from traffic being pulled into by forums like Overclock tells me that TweakTown is profiting from this article irregardless of the legitimacy of whatever claims they have made.
Again, this leads me to try and find a different article with similar claims being made. Sadly, I cannot find any other article that is making similar claims. This tells me that I should not take this article as truth regardless of whether or not TweakTown is speaking the truth. Until another website validates TweakTown's claims, I'm forced to take this article with a grain of salt and not derive information from it to support my own assertions, regardless of whether that information coincides with my own argument or belief.

This is the best bit of common sense i have seen throughout this thread. Come on guys lose the blinding hate and see the facts. Ohhhhh right there are none, doh.gif only what TT has to say about a company who won't give them the time of day and have also had a long running dispute with - read the article as it is but take off your ATI/Nvidia sunglasses first

Maybe I am dumb, but what difference does it make if TweakTown releases reviews early?

How does this negatively effect Nvidia whatsoever if the cards are already being distributed?

What do you mean? AMD wouldn't have known of the 660Ti's performance before launch unless this TT review happened.

Edit:
I have been watching you for a couple weeks now make posts like this where you state something that is either blatantly wrong or offers no evidence to support it (the latter in this case). It is getting irritating. I haven't blocked someone in quite a while.


NVidia didn't just randomly cut TweakTown off. Clearly someone at TT pissed off NVidia if they were cut off from their review samples. IT doesn't take a genius to realise that TT aren't giving the full story.

I wouldn't complain if that meant early price drops on competitor cards.....cause we consumers benefit from competition thumb.gif
