So, this is mainly about 'control' of review of pre-launched cards?

After a new card is launched, everybody has access and there is nothing to be hidden.  No big deal.

But before that, only reviewers have access and Nvidia wants certain control.  Reviewers (and media) are not totally neutral.  Some are friendly and some are hostile and some are just chameloen.  So, a company wanting its pre-launched product to be in the hands of 'approved' reviewers can be understood.

This does not affect me at all, as I never pre-order a graphics card.  And frankly, a review site doing this kind of review just cannot be exaggerating.  Once bitten, twice shy.  The credibility can go away very quickly.
