US EditionNvidia keeps hiding its bad cards, and that’s a problem
- Nvidia will launch the Geforce RTX 5060 on May 19, 2025, at Computex but has withheld compatible drivers from reviewers until the release date.
- This approach follows criticism of the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB variant, which Nvidia also hid from reviewers before release and showed inferior performance to the 16GB version.
- The RTX 5060 is equipped with a substantial number of CUDA cores and can reach boost speeds up to 2.5GHz, offering neural rendering capabilities; however, its 8GB of VRAM may necessitate reducing graphics quality in some 2025 titles.

- This launch strategy limits consumer insight before purchase and suggests caution until independent benchmarks appear after the RTX 5060 hits stores.
