MSI And ASUS Manipulating Graphics Card Review Samples

[BoFox]

Ocre, but the reviewers didn't know until now that their cards were running faster out of the box than the retail cards OUT-OF-THE-BOX.  If MSI shipped review samples with special software/BIOS setting to make these cards run at higher-than-stock speed, without acknowledging the reviewer, then that is sneaky.  The fact that none of us knew about it until TPU finally realized this has been happening since GTX 780 Ti (2 years ago) with MSI, and more recently with Asus makes it worthy of attention now, so that companies may not continue this without our awareness.  

Am I wrong here or not?  If I am wrong, then I'd appreciate a heads-up.
