This review was hilarious 

Thanks for sharing. Fairly honest review.

The not so subtle suggestion to wait for the 9060XT and how it could make the 5060 DOA makes me intrigued for tomorrow's reveal.

This gets me thinking, due to the fact that NVidia withhold drivers for the 5060, will 9060 reviews now come before those of the 5060?

I'm not as pessimistic as Coreteks, but I can see Nvidia using the launch of the 5060, which they knew would be a bad received product, to test the waters in how far they can push things before they go too far. And I want to believe that they've gone so far that it has exploded in their faces.

As for your second point, no, we won't get reviews of the 9060 XT before review so for the 5060. For once, most reviewers will still be at Computex tomorrow when the cards are unvelied, so they won't be able to test them. Sure, AMD could have send samples and drivers a month ago to allow them to test the cards with time, but it hasn't happened because we havem had a single leak, and we always get lots of those.

Also, some proper review sites haven't gone to Computex and are starting to post their 5060 reviews, like Guru3D (it has a short selection of games): https://www.guru3d.com/review/geforce-rtx-5060-8gb-review/ or the ongoing PCGamer one (if the F1 24 video is bad, the one with DA: The Veilguard at 1440p with DLSS-Quality and x4 MFG is... wow)

The thing is, I'm fairly sure NVidia chose Computex as launch window because this would further delay the reviews for several outlets, giving them more time to get away with it. All while the AMD 9060 reviews may well have been done in advance before Computex (it's not like they had any 5060 to test alongside it...) so on several sites, I expect the 9060 reviews to launch before the 5060 reviews.

This German Youtuber also said about as much, believing that Nvidia chose the date specifically to bury it under all the other tech news from Computex so reviews of the 5060 would get minimal exposure.

Oh, there is absolutely no doubt that Nvidia has tried to bury this release into oblivion. Anyone arguing the opposite leaves in a parallel reality. But that doesn't mean that the reviews of the 9060s will come before.

But we'll see what happens. I'll be very surprised if that's the case, because we always get benchmark leaks from Chiphell or other sites before the embargo lifts and it hasn't happened this time.
