The problem with Brent's guide on properly warming up cards is that you can warm a GPU up all you want but if he's going to test it on an open bench it likely won't throttle anyway. Put it in a closed case and it's much more likely that it will (especially if it's an open air cooler vs blower). He wanted to test the Fury nano in a closed case setup but tests every other card in an open bench. Interesting. The fact that he wrote that guide - assuming that the Nano would throttle hard and that no other site would properly test it - sort of just further hints at what most here already knew - he had already come to some pretty negative conclusions about the Nano before ever receiving a card to test himself and regardless of what the benchmarks said the conclusion was already written.
