Here's the results of a "5 minute review challenge" a lot of people are doing lately: I did this when I was on my tablet with limited connectivity on a extensive 10 hour road trip. The challenge was to get it done in 5 minutes while also taking pics of certain areas of a product that's typically hard to review and think of on the spur of the moment. Also the "retro" reviews are getting quite common specially with stuff that's off the beaten path like GPUs units, old consoles, old networking hardware, phones, etc... Enough with the intro and here we are at the actual review!

AMD denies TechpowerUp a review sample and all hell breaks loose. AMD announced thier R9 nano GPU. Of course the widely popular enthusiast site Tech Power Up wanted thier paws on a review sample so they can add it to thier ever growing list of very in-depth GPU reviews.
