NVIDIA Allegedly Prefers Reviews to Post After Sales Begin

So, there’s this whole thing going down with NVIDIA, right? I mean, May 19th is *supposedly* the drop date for the RTX 5060 driver. But, surprise, no driver’s coming out until the GPU is out on the streets. Feels kinda sneaky, right? Maybe they don’t want us poking around its performance too much. Hmm, not sure why, but it’s stuck in my head.

Anyway, there’s all this buzz about the GeForce RTX 5060 8 GB GPU—a card pair revealed alongside the RTX 5060 Ti. Wild timing, honestly. They showed it off last month, and here we are, no driver till the big day. Makes you scratch your head a bit.

Oh, and then there’s Igor’s Lab putting it out there, clear as day. No driver release until May 19th. Maybe it’s because everyone’s getting all distracted by the Computex event. Tons of folks will be wandering around Taiwan, eyes glued on the latest gadgets, so reviews might just slip past radar? I don’t know— coincidences, man.

But check this out, Hardware Unboxed is already chiming in, got samples sitting there, waiting. Can’t even review them properly till NVIDIA gives the nod with a driver. But, hey, that’s the gig sometimes. Also, a tweet: NVIDIA might be playing hide and seek with the RTX 5060, similar vibe to the RTX 5060 Ti. Sounds like tech hide-and-seek, right?

Gamers usually bank on those tech reviews, and this time, they’re just gonna roll the dice. Bit of a gamble, leaning on NVIDIA’s numbers. They brag about a 25% boost over the last guy, but who really knows until the experts dig in? Reviews are like, the real deal.

Here’s a kicker—this card’s carrying 8 GB, but so did the last one, and look how that turned out. In 2025, those 8 GBs might as well be museum pieces in gaming’s fast lane. Probably why the RTX 5060 Ti tripped up so bad. Maybe NVIDIA’s just dodging another stumble at the start line?

Oh look, Igor’s Lab is the whisperer in this saga.
