Fake benches posted at WCCFTech?

It seems some benchmarks(?) of the next-gen Pascals have been uploaded on WCCFTech:

These benches seem fake to me.

If you visit the first link that shows up, you'll see that the 12K mark is of a 970 with a mid Haswell i5(the 4570).

If you use a i3-2100 with a 980Ti class card, that's stupid, since the 980Ti will get bottlenecked, and show sub-970 performance(as it's clearly doing here).
The other two, which are with a i5-6500, also barely reach the 970, and the spec figures also seem photoshopped.

Any bets that it's just a R9 390? If it's not, it could just be a Pascal X60.


If you ask me, this seems like a clickbait stunt by WCCFTech to lure users to click on the other links about Pascals in the article.

I trust WCCFTech to post the truth about as much as I trust my ability to defy gravity by flapping my arms. Apart from two interviews they managed to get with AMD and NVIDIA, literally every other article those people post is baseless, and devoid of facts. They post garbage, then two days later they post more garbage and cite their previous article as evidence that they are right. That site is a joke, and not a particularly funny one.

LOL That explains it.
