NVIDIA Reportedly Prefers Reviews to Be Published After Sales Start

Sure, let’s dive into this whole NVIDIA saga, shall we? It’s like they’re playing hide and seek with this RTX 5060. I mean, why wait till the last second to roll out the drivers? It’s like trying to make a cake without knowing if you’ve got all the ingredients. But hey, who am I to judge? Maybe they’re adding some secret sauce last minute.

So, here we are, painfully counting down the days till the 19th of May when this shiny little thing with 8GB launches. NVIDIA—being all secretive, of course—dropped this alongside the RTX 5060 Ti. But something’s off. I can’t quite put my finger on it. It’s like when you sense someone’s holding a royal flush at poker, and you’re sitting there with a couple of threes.

Apparently, Igor from Igor’s Lab spilled the beans about how NVIDIA’s holding back the driver. Probably has a secret lab coat and everything. No drivers till launch day? That’s a bit like saying you can’t taste the cake till everyone’s at the party. Meanwhile, these tech folks are all heading to Computex, which—I assume—involves a whole lot of techy talk and probably no sleep. Imagine trying to review a GPU when you’re bleary-eyed and exhausted. Not ideal.

Oh, and our friends over at Hardware Unboxed are in the same boat. Got their hands on the card but can’t even review it. They’re probably just banging their heads against their desks. NVIDIA seems to think they’re doing some magic trick by holding the drivers, but maybe they’re more like the magician who accidentally saws the assistant in half.

For all those gamers out there who rely on reviews to make purchasing decisions, this might come as a blow. I mean, sure, NVIDIA boasts a 25% performance boost, but who’s vouching for them? Certainly not an independent review ’cause they haven’t even had a chance.

Anyway, you got this shiny RTX 5060 flaunting its same-old 8GB VRAM. Feels a bit like bringing a knife to a gunfight in 2025’s gaming world. Sure, it’s faster, but can it really handle the heat of those epic modern battlefields? The RTX 5060 Ti flopped for that exact reason. Maybe NVIDIA’s using it as a paperweight now.

Drivers or not, the clock’s ticking till the game’s afoot on May 19. So, hang on to your patience, if that’s even possible.
