Alright, here goes nothing:
—
NVIDIA’s playing a weird game right now with that RTX 5060 card. You know, the one that’s supposed to hit stores on May 19? Seems like they’re kinda holding back the driver till that exact day. Yeah, no early reviews for the eager beavers hoping to snag one the moment it launches. What are they hiding? It’s all very hush-hush, and it smells fishy to me. Maybe they’re hoping if they distract everyone at Computex, no one will notice?
A pal at Igor’s Lab spilled the beans that reviewers are pretty much in the dark until they can finally download the driver. I imagine some tech reviewer somewhere is banging their head against their desk. He even mentioned, “I’ll be out of town then, so, no tests till I’m back.” Like, talk about rotten timing, right?
Picture all these tech folks at Computex running around like kids in a candy store, ogling all the shiny new toys. But hey, these are the same people who’d love to get home and throw that RTX 5060 under a microscope—or whatever it is they do.
Hardware Unboxed chimed in on Twitter—something about NVIDIA keeping this card under wraps like a deep dark secret. We’ve seen them do this act before with the RTX 5060 Ti, like blocking reviewers from access. I mean, come on, I just wanna know if a game looks pretty and runs smoothly!
And here’s where it kinda feels like a déjà vu moment. This is gonna be one of those launches relying purely on NVIDIA’s own numbers—ding, ding, ding, a potential red flag! They’re boasting about a 25% performance boost, but with only 8 GB of VRAM, which is so last season in 2025. It’s sure to make any hardcore gamer cringe. Remember how the RTX 5060 Ti didn’t exactly win over hearts? Yeah, it’s maybe a repeat of that.
Maybe I’m just reading too much into things. Or maybe I’m not. Ah, who knows anymore! But these tech mysteries keep my brain buzzing.
Okay, I need a snack. ‘Til next time!
