Welcome to the Techy Tuesdays segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, Techy Tuesdays will feature something in the world of tech, tech news, or tech reviews. Everyone loves the latest in technology, and Techy Tuesdays will talk about all tech!
In this video, we’ll talk about NVIDIA’s last several months of pressure to talk about DLSS more frequently in reviews, plus MFG 4X pressure from the company. NVIDIA has repeatedly made comments to GN that interviews, technical discussion, and access to engineers unrelated to MFG 4X and DLSS are made possible by talking about MFG 4X and DLSS. NVIDIA has explicitly stated that this type of content is made “possible” by benchmarking MFG 4X in reviews specifically, despite us separately and independently covering it in other videos, and has made repeated attempts to get multiplied framerate numbers into its benchmark charts.
We will not play those games. In the time since, NVIDIA has offered certain unqualified media outlets access to drivers which actual qualified reviewers do not have access to, but allegedly only under the premise of publishing “previews” of the RTX 5060 in advance of its launch. Some outlets were given access to drivers specifically to publish what we believe are puff pieces and marketing while reviewers were blocked.
