AMD gave the reviewers to right to be biased in favor of either AMD or NVidia by not giving them a benchmark suite but allowing them to choose four titles to review the card on.

Anandtech's choices greatly favored AMD, for example. And there are obviously some games which still don't benefit at all from 4870x2, so by choosing only them I could make 4870x2 look as if it's a total waste of money.

I don't think it was the right thing to do for AMD, especially with immature drivers still a month from being released.
