Gamers Nexus Blacklisted by AMD
Sunday, May 10, 2026
For months, AMD has refused to respond to GamersNexus' queries relating to the company's driver support or abandonment of actively sold products (like the Z1 Extreme), political donations, seemingly anti-consumer lobbying efforts that bulldoze peoples' rights, and other topics relating to both AMD's hardware and AMD's backroom games it's playing with megacorporations and government agencies. Now, AMD has decided not to sample GamersNexus for the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 CPU reviews, suspiciously following a blackout period of communications (again, including pro-consumer driver support questions) and our prior coverage of AMD's descent into what we think is corruption.
