Come on people!!! Take to this statement as if the whole of humanity has fallen, wake up and smell the coffee people. This kind of practive has been running around for ages, not only in the 3D card business but from computer parts to your daily, perishable consumer goods.
Walk into your regular grocery store and take a look. Do you honestly think that these storekeepers want to stock on brand X? The only reason it is there is because they are receiving cutbacks & huge discounts from those manufacturers. Its such benefits which keep these store keepers afloat in our overpaced giant economy.
nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;A little close to home you'll find that certain computer manufacturers (I won't mention names here) actually favour one brand name over the other to be placed in the computer system. Why, you ask? Simple they get paid to use such products in their system.
So gentelmen (and ladies alike) is such things new to you? Give it a rest on this nVidia case the final call should be made by the reviewers, it is entirely up to them to decide if they should accept such "benefits" or be honest in what they do.

I don't condone such actions, but hey we're human (well most of us anyway) aren't we? So what a little online cheating?
If it wern't for online cheating UOL wouldn't have found that security bug that allowed Lord B. to get his ass whooped (YEHAW!)
All I'm saying is go ahead & cheat but just be careful of what you're cheating with & who you're cheating with!
