RTX 5060 Reviewers Left in the Dark by Nvidia

Hardware Unboxed poked fun at NVIDIA for hiding the RTX 5060 graphics card from early testing. The team said NVIDIA wants people to think they feel proud of their card, but plans to launch it during Computex, when reviewers cannot test it properly. NVIDIA gave writers cards but will hold back special software needed to make them work until the sale day on May 19. This trick happened before with the RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB model, which most reviewers could not test early.

The Australian tech group owns several RTX 5060 test units but cannot run them without official drivers. Most tech media people will travel to Taiwan for the Computex show exactly when the card goes on sale. Reviews might come a week after people start buying these cards. Tech site Igor's LAB feels upset about the same problem since they already have test cards sitting useless without proper software.

Igor's LAB writer plans to visit Taipei during the card launch day. This person must wait until May 26 to return home for complete testing. Some watchers think NVIDIA rushed these cards because they offer the same memory amounts as before. The company just added faster GDDR7 memory but kept other parts similar to older models.
