As expected, reputable reviewers hate it and are calling out NVidia for those shady tactics. And while they're at it, tells about the other dirt that NVidia did to them over the years:

Coreteks also explains how this will backfire on Jensen (and a backhand critique of the entire industry while he's at it):

Also (unless you want to count showing off that 5060 background) not a single mention to gaming during the entire keynote!

NVidia seriously dun fucked it up this time!

Jensen is so out of his mind that he has said this:

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says 'PC gaming is now 30 years old,' and I'm here to say 'um, actually'
https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-says-in-keynote-pc-gaming-is-now-30-years-old-and-im-here-to-say-um-actually/
No one likes the 'um, actually' guy. Whatever momentary high an um-actually-arsehole gets from jumping on a technicality in an off-the-cuff remark is either completely drowned out, or worse, strengthened by the resulting collective groan. Unfortunately, today, I'm going to be the 'um, actually' guy. My target? Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang—this can only end well for me!

During Nvidia's live keynote at Computex 2025, Huang reflected on the success of GeForce and its position within the business today. On stage, Huang said that though the company owes a lot of its success to GeForce specifically, "our keynote is 90% not GeForce. But it's not because we don't love GeForce." He then added, "GeForce RTX 50-series just had its most successful launch ever, the fastest launch in our history. And PC gaming is now 30 years old—so that tells you something about how incredible GeForce is."

So, what's wrong with that? Well, setting aside the various issues that left much to be desired about the 50-series launch, it's the simple fact that PC gaming easily pre-dates Nvidia's GeForce product line. To begin at the beginning, the GeForce 256 debuted in October 1999 and is largely credited with introducing many PC gamers to the modern concept of a Graphics Processing Unit.

id Software and Wolfenstein3D are older than Nvidia, and there's the whole 2D and the text based games long before that. So yeah, Jensen is "not in his right mind"

GeForce RTX 5060 debuts for desktops and laptops, but proper reviews need to wait

https://videocardz.com/newz/geforce-rtx-5060-debuts-for-desktops-and-laptops-but-proper-reviews-need-to-wait

It is interesting the debacle that has been surrounding the 5060 launch. Nvidia could have just launched it, got bad reviews about 8GB of vram but otherwise a decent card competing against 8GB version from AMD and that would have been it. But now they have quite a lot of bad press thanks to the way they handled the gpu. Is their thinking just... "Well it wouldn't get much attention since it's basically a faster 4060 so how can we get the 5060 more attention? Oh I know, piss off every reviewer! No press is bad press right?" Idk.

NVIDIA quietly fixes Max TGP issue on GeForce RTX 50 Laptop GPUs

Sapphire teases dual-fan Radeon RX 9060 XT GPUs launching tomorrow

https://videocardz.com/newz/sapphire-teases-dual-fan-radeon-rx-9060-xt-gpus-launching-tomorrow

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)

By the way, bad news for owners of Ultrawide monitors:

An MVP of ultrawide patches for triple-A games just had their entire library nuked from GitHub, and nobody seems to know why
https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/an-mvp-of-ultrawide-patches-for-triple-a-games-just-had-their-entire-library-nuked-from-github-and-nobody-seems-to-know-why/
Last week, users on Reddit and ResetEra noticed that the GitHub library of DIY developer Lyall had been completely erased, with all links resulting in a 404 error. Lyall's work included ultra widescreen patches for major games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Assassin's Creed Shadows, and more.

I have reached out to Lyall and GitHub for comment and will update this story if I hear back. Lyall has posted a message on Patreon apologizing for the takedown, saying they aren't sure what caused it, and noting that they have appealed the ban through GitHub support.

"Having the rug pulled out from under me has been quite the stressful experience and it's exposed the fact that all my eggs are in one basket when it comes to hosting the fixes that I write," Lyall said on Patreon.

"Going forward I plan on looking into alternatives for hosting the source code and releases for my work. I'll likely continue using GitHub if I can alongside mirroring my repositories and releases elsewhere.

"Hopefully this situation will be resolved soon but until then I have quite a lot to think about. As soon as I have an update on the suspension, I will let you all know."

In the meantime, and if GitHub does not reinstate Lyall's account, they have begun uploading their projects to NexusMods as a backup.

The article has a link to the NexusMods page.

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.

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.

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.

The 5060Ti is about the same price as the 7800XT.

I think I might bite the bullet and jump on the 7800XT.

I know the 7800XT is a fair bit faster in raster, but the 5060Ti 16GB triumphs it when RT and the better upscaling are added in the mix so, why the AMD card? Is it because you don't care about RT or to give Nvidia the middle finger?

After all, I don't know if you can wait for the 9060XT 16GB to be announced to see if that's also an option.

Same core count but increased vram now counts as "Super" badge?

At this rate, 80 series will never catch up to a 4090 lol. What a terrible generation.



                  

PC Specs: CPU: 7800X3D || GPU: Strix 4090 || RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 || Main SSD: WD 2TB SN850

Change the 2GB memory chips for 3GB ones, raise the already high power consumption and you're good to go! They'll likely do the same with the 5070 Super to make it a 18GB card.

Nvidia is going the easy and lazy route with the 5000 series (except for the cooler).

Watch Nvidia skip the 5060 Super just to add that extra salt to the wound

It's actually slightly cheaper.
The 5060Ti 16GB comes in at $789 AUD verses $710 AUD for the 7800XT 16GB. - That's a brand new game.

I actually hate upscaling in gaming, they always seem to introduce artifacts and fizzle, I would rather just turn down some settings to hit native resolution. (Which is only 1440P @144hz)

And as for RT, that is something I am interested in, but I can wait a few more years to get a more competent RT card, see how the cards fall tomorrow with AMD's offerings...
Mostly I just want the compute for A.I upscaling of DVD's etc'. - The poor 6600XT is not having a good time when I load it up, it takes roughly 4 hours per film, so I am loading up the GPU and doing a separate A.I upscale on my CPU which is pushing all 32 threads to 100%.
I am less of a gamer these days anyway as I am time poor... But I do want to jump into Oblivion Remastered, the 6600XT can do Medium@1440P just fine, but I want just a little more.
The 7800XT beats the 5060Ti 16GB in Oblivion all day long, not just in average framerates, but also with 1% lows.

In the end, pricing is the number one factor for me, $700 is already more than my typical GPU budget, GPU's under that are simply not worth the upgrade really.
Never in the history of PC gaming have I ever been so picky with GPU's or even waited, market is farked.
