The worlds most sold gpu is Nvidia's 60 series, it dominates the top 10 selling gpus.

The soon to be launched 5060 will be the first ever? gpu launched without any performance reviews!

Not only are they blocking launch day performance reviews they are not giving review drivers out despite some reviewers already having 5060's in their systems ready to test, they are holding back drivers until May 19th which happens to be Computex when most reviewers will be in attendance.

They've even started backlisting reviewers...


By blocking performance data, Nvidia's just confirmed for the second time on Blackwell 60 series it doesn't even believe in it's own productS...

It's boring because it's mentioned in every thread like this, but 9 years ago I had a 1070 8GB GPU, it cost about $350 give or take, nine years before that I had the 8800gt with sixteen times less RAM, it cost about $350 give or take.

How anyone can't be even slightly depressed with the state of the GPU market or claim anything is good value is beyond me.
 
I don't remember the manufacturers trying to hide a GPU from review either. They're making products with shameful performance, and trying to pull the wool over people's eyes.

It's ok though. Plenty of fanboys to take out the inflation calculator, whilst also mentioning DLSS, telling us we've never had it so good.

There is an issue with the 50 series and Doom Eternal at the moment, so you gotta take that review with a grain of salt.
But yea, Nvidia are continuing to dig themselves a hole. And instead of turning things around they've just bought a bigger shovel :cry:

There is a solution to this, if reviewers had the guts to do it, use existing drivers to review that card, make it clear at the beginning that Nvidia have not released press drivers to them but then review that cards anyway and if they don't work properly with available drivers then that is the review. Even if the cards are completely broken with existing drivers there it is, that's the review.

Nvidia will never do it again.

0 for every graph would be good. That 8GB, just breaks your game.
 
I'm bored of hearing about 8GB cards. Yes, new cards with 8GB vram shouldn't exist in 2025. But I don't need to be reminded of this by every tech site and channel on a daily basis.
