ASUS Rolls Back AREZ to ROG ? Nope, not at all (updated content)
The GPP (partner program) has been a lot of bad press for Nvidia, so much that they canceled the program a week or two ago. Amidst them rolling out the new program updates, some AIB and AIC partners made changes and created separate lines and brands for their Radeon cards.
Among them recently MSI with their new Mech 2 series. The biggest announcement, however, was ASUS with a large press release stating they made changes to their graphics card lineup and move Radeon graphics cards towards the new AREZ product line while removing them from the ROG line.
Well, as stated, after all criticism, NVIDIA ended GPP two weeks ago. And some board partners were already ready with moving and changing their products lines, so what now? When I checked my mailbox this morning it looked like ASUS would be the first, rolling the branding back like a bad Windows install with the restore button. See, on Twitter yesterday a post was tweeted on the account: ASUS_AREZ, claiming the separated AREZ Radeon graphics cards is part of history as you can see above (BTW thanks, KissSh0t for the news submitted). However, after looking into it, it simply looked like the twitter account where this was posted, could/would be a fake one. Today we've been trying to get some information from ASUS and after a phone call with ASUS it was confirmed, the Twitter account indeed is a fake. ASUS HQ took action today and had Twitter suspend that account (which now is disabled). ASUS at this time has no further comments on the AREZ product line. Once anything should change we'll be informed, but the AREZ branding is here to stay, well at least for now that is.

Thanks for keeping us posted @Hilbert Hagedoorn , that's the way I want to see you (the journalist) work and clear things up.
Alright, update, I just had a phone call with ASUS. The Twitter account indeed is fake. ASUS HQ took immediate action and had Twitter suspend that account (which now is disabled). ASUS at this time has no comments on the AREZ product line. Once anything should change we'll be informed.

Fake news 1 - Guru3D 0?
Guru3D use(d?) to be more reliable than "WclickBaitTECH"...
It's more reliable because you can come to the comments and find Hilbert actively investigating whether it's fake or not.
Tech sites are in a position where if they don't immediately post the latest info they are often left behind in terms of viewership because users generally read from the breaking location then don't bother clicking articles from other sites with the same headline. This creates an issue when people are trying to spread false news via fake twitter accounts, because if you wait too long you miss out on the initial "rush" of viewers but if you don't spend time validating you run into the chance of posting incorrect info. As long as it's corrected/retracted/etc when found, I don't see the issue - which is what happened here.

You are right, it's not nice but it's real.
I highly respect these forums but that doesn't mean i'll blindly follow and avoid critic what i think was a mistake.
This forum filters bans links and the names of other web/news sites because they are not reliable and sometimes simply click bait site that never check at the source of their "news" like "WclickBaitTECH".
I still think Guru3D is a good source of tech info but nobody is perfect and you are also prone to make mistake like don't check news at the source (Nvidia/Asus) prior to post news.
If you decide constructive critics like mine are not allowed you are the king of your castle and you can kick my ass of your reign anytime you want.
Until then i'll continue to post my opinion in this great forum.
