Some good old PC industry drama:

Nvidia has banned Hardware Unboxed from receiving Founders Edition cards due to their focus on Raster. Since Founders Edition cards are the first to get reviewed and are generally the most seen compared to AIBs, this would be a big blow if it sticks.

"Nvidia have officially decided to ban us from receiving GeForce Founders Edition GPU review samples

Their reasoning is that we are focusing on rasterization instead of ray tracing.

They have said they will revisit this "should your editorial direction change".

More to come"

Personally, I do think Hardware Unboxed has a heavy bias for AMD and their stance on Ray Tracing is dumb af. But with that being said, this is certainly not the way to go about it. Come on Nvidia, do better.

That's just one of Nvidia tantrums, showing how petty they can be sometimes. Raster is still important and RT is not everything, and it's not the fault of Hardware Unboxed is their cards lose in raster to AMD.

Hopefully, they'll rectify that position, but I don't think it will happen until after all the Ampere cards have been released.

Pretty much. I do think the idea of dismissing Ray Tracing all together as Hardware Unboxed seems to be doing is 110% nonsense from a reviewer as the point of reviewers is to inform people and not miss lead them by keeping out features that could be of interest to the consumer.

But I do think the wording that Nvidia uses based on the tweets is painting a bad picture for Nvidia.
