NVIDIA has reportedly decided not to release the driver for the GeForce RTX 5060 8 GB GPU before 19th May, forcing reviewers to not publish the reviews.
True, they should be 5050 or lower class, what NVIDIA did the last couple of years was to upgrade the class of every card 5050 -> 5060, 5060 -> 5070 etc. and as a result that increased the rift between 90 and 80 tiers of cards and make the generational performance increase lukewarm at best.

Ah yes, because nothing inspires confidence like hiding from reviewers.
People are still dumb enough to pay scalpers for it.
Unfortunately people are way dumber than you think.
Oh, so it’s that bad, huh?
They’re not even trying to hide that it’s dogshit at this point.
Same with 5060Ti 8Gb. We have an extreme greediness and planned obsolescence in full force on display here.
8GB GPUs still have a place, and that place is the $100 price tier.

Wow Nvidia, it’s really that bad? You didn’t have to shout it from the rooftops with your actions like that!
Do all reviews using nouveau driver
Well this certainly is a change, lol
Keep buying nvidia.
Even if someone insisted on using nvidia cards, why wouldnt they just buy a high end 30 series card or mid range 40 series card?
I’m assuming the type of person who would insist on Nvidia is also the type of person that would insist on new hardware
lol that’s pretty hilarious tbh
Really doing your best to push me away from your hardware, aren’t you, NVDA?
Stop buying Nvidia products. You don’t need the top of the line video card.
5060 is bottom barrel … Not top
There are other options at that price point that aren’t Nvidia.
There aren’t other comparable options to say the 5090, which no one needs.
That was my point. I was speaking generally, not about the 5060.
Thread is 5060
Point is don’t buy Nvidia.
