At Bilibili World 2025, Colorful quietly introduced a unique all-white version of its iGame Ultra Duo SSD graphics card that combines high-end GPU performance with built-in storage. The card features a two‑fan cooler coated in matte white, which immediately sets it apart from the usual dark designs you see on the market. Although Colorful has not confirmed whether it is based on NVIDIA's new GB206 or GB207 architecture, either RTX 5050 or 5060, the real point of this product is the dual M.2 SSD slots on the back of the compact PCB. Users can simply slide in drives without any extra cables, and the heatsink mounting points are cleverly positioned between the storage bays and the rear I/O bracket.

Thanks to PCIe bifurcation, the card splits a standard x16 slot into eight lanes for the GPU and four lanes for each SSD, so neither graphics nor storage performance is compromised. Given that the PCIe bandwidth is more than enough for this GPU SKU, even an x8 lane is enough for performance to stay intact. By placing SSDs near active cooling, Colorful ensures they stay cool even under heavy workloads. Official specs and pricing are not yet available, but this hybrid design is sure to catch the eye of gamers and content creators looking for a sleek, high-capacity storage build.

NVIDIA's freshly completed GeForce RTX 50 family, powered by the new Blackwell architecture, has begun to register meaningful numbers in Steam's June 2025 Hardware Survey. Since first appearing in May, cards from this lineup, except for the as-yet-unavailable RTX 5050, now account for 3.69% of surveyed systems. Leading the pack among the newcomers, the RTX 5070 grabs nearly 1% of overall share, up substantially from its debut, while the RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti follow closely behind. The more budget‑oriented RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 have also made their mark, and even the top‑end RTX 5090 has registered on enough machines to appear in the survey.

These figures show a swift uptake by desktop gamers eager for improved performance and AI-driven features, even as the tried-and-true RTX 4060 Laptop GPU holds onto its position as the most prevalent NVIDIA part, with just under 5% of the installed base. Meanwhile, AMD's latest Radeon RX 9000 series and Intel's Arc B‑series remain absent from the survey results, suggesting that shipment volumes for those cards have not yet reached the critical mass needed to register with Valve's monthly sampling of millions of Steam users. This demonstrates NVIDIA's continued dominance in add-in board sales, where it has consistently captured over 90% of the market.

According to the only publicly available sales data from one of Germany's largest retailers, Mindfactory.de, we gain insight into the sales of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB and 8 GB models. According to the sum of the units sold, the 16 GB version of the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti is outselling the 8 GB version by more than 16 times, which represents a 1,600% difference. Mindfactory lists each GeForce RTX 5060 Ti model with a tag indicating the number of units sold, showing how many units were sold to customers of a specific model. This includes every model that Mindfactory offers, including SKUs from MSI, GIGABYTE, INNO3D, Palit, ZOTAC, ASUS, and other AIC partners. At the time of writing, the 8 GB version of the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti model has been sold in 105 instances, compared to 1675 units sold of the 16 GB version.

It is important to note that sales performance on 8 GB and 16 GB SKUs are based on Mindfactory, which is only a single regional retailer, showing only a single part of the GPU sales story. We even considered supply as an issue for the massive difference in unit sales; however, availability of both GPU SKUs is good, as checked on Geizhals.de. Most models are available in 20+ quantities, showing that availability is not hindering sales. This is not the typical AMD vs. NVIDIA sales comparison. It's within a product family, highlighting something much more specific. It signals that gamers are willing to spend a couple of dozen Euros extra to get the 16 GB version of their chosen GPU, essentially "future proofing" their system for some more demanding games. Especially as many features, like path tracing, demand more VRAM, having an extra 8 GB of memory buffer allows the GPU to run modern games with ease. For gamers who want to sell their system down the road for an upgrade, the 16 GB version will also be more prized in the secondary markets like eBay and others. We launched a new poll here, so make sure to let us know your opinion on which card you would purchase, as the battle for ever-greater VRAM capacity continues.

AMD today released to market the Radeon RX 9060 XT, its third graphics card model from the Radeon RX 9000 series, powered by RDNA 4 graphics architecture. This card debuts the new 4 nm "Navi 44" silicon, with over 2x the transistor count increase over the "Navi 33" chip powering the RX 7600. This is because AMD sized up the silicon for the singular purpose of winning in key sub-$400 price-points, against the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 series, specifically the RTX 5060, and the RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB. The RX 9060 XT comes in 8 GB and 16 GB models, with the 8 GB model priced at $300, clashing with the RTX 5060, and the 16 GB model priced at a competitive $350, undercutting the RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB, which starts at $380. For $30 less, AMD is offering twice the memory size, for future-proofing and lower ray tracing performance cost.

The RX 9060 XT maxes out the 4 nm "Navi 44," enabling all 32 CU, for 2,048 stream processors, 64 AI accelerators, 32 RT accelerators, and 128 TMUs, besides 64 ROPs. Each of the RDNA 4 RT accelerators comes with two intersection units, and several other hardware-level improvements, which is how the company is able to yield a near doubling in ray tracing performance over RDNA 3. AMD is sticking to GDDR6 as the memory standard, the RX 9060 XT gets 8 GB or 16 GB of 20 Gbps GDDR6 memory across a 128-bit memory bus, for 320 GB/s of bandwidth. This is low compared to the 448 GB/s NVIDIA achieved on the RTX 5060 series by switching to 28 Gbps GDDR7, but AMD claims that the memory management advancements it made with RDNA 4 should provide a generational uplift in memory sub-system performance. A purely partner-driven launch, the RX 9060 XT should be available as custom designs from ASUS, ASRock, GIGABYTE, Sapphire, PowerColor, XFX, and more.

Be sure to check out our reviews of: Sapphire RX 9060 XT 16 GB NITRO+ | ASRock RX 9060 XT 16 GB Steel Legend OC | XFX RX 9060 XT 16 GB SWIFT OC | ASUS RX 9060 XT 16 GB Prime OC

In 2025, MSI and ASUS seem to be actively engaged in a graphics card product range competition. So far, the Taiwanese manufacturers have launched multiple barebones/budget, mid-range, sub-flagship, and ultra-premium graphics card designs—mostly spanning NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50-series. At Computex 2025, MSI unveiled a compelling "Retro Line"—by pulling from its back catalog, the veteran hardware firm can deploy extra varieties and flavors for the modern era. Certain PC hardware enthusiasts will have fond memories of MSI's mid-2000s graphics card portfolio—in particular, single-fan model options. VideoCardz has highlighted a pleasing ultra-compact form factor revival; powered by Team Green's GB206 "Blackwell" GPU. At the time of writing, MSI's PR department has not published any promo material.

Instead, a dedicated product page describes a prime "Retro Line" offering: "Cyclone is back. A legacy reborn for a new era—MSI CYCLONE returns with a frosted snow camo design that blends nostalgic charm with modern aesthetics, along with high-efficiency cooling performance." The brand's GeForce RTX 5060 8 GB CYCLONE OC SKU appears to be distinct from a similarly proportioned demonstration unit (presented at Computex, with an integrated display). Unlike their single-fan GeForce RTX 5060 8G INSPIRE ITX card design, MSI's updated CYCLONE model features an open-plan layout. According to an official description: "(our) thermal design concept mirrors the power of a cyclone storm, featuring an advanced aluminium-extruded sunflower radiator, dense fins, and two high-efficiency heat pipes that rapidly dissipate heat from the GPU and surrounding components." Apparently, this diminutive cooler is robust enough to temper an overclocked GPU.

TechPowerUp today released the latest version of TechPowerUp GPU-Z, the popular graphics sub-system information, monitoring, and diagnostic utility.

NVIDIA's oft-leaked GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile 8 GB GPU did not make a debut appearance at last week's Computex trade show. Given the very recent launch of GeForce RTX 5060 8 GB laptops, truly cost-conscious buyers will need to wait patiently for the next wave of even cheaper portable "Blackwell" hardware. Mid-way through the month, a British e-tailer inadvertently published pre-launch prices. Lenovo's least expensive option—utilizing a GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile card—sported a (likely placeholder) tag of £1149.97 (inc. VAT). So far, a lot of pre-release information has been sourced from official websites or webstores.

Yesterday, VideoCardz shared another NDA-buster—courtesy of Acer's "Predator and Nitro Gaming Laptop GPU Power Specifications page." At the time of writing, offending items are no longer present within this list. Prior to removal, three configurable Nitro AI laptop models (16, 16S, and 18) were visible with GeForce RTX 5050 specifications (alongside RTX 5060, 5070 and 5070 Ti options). Only clock speed and TGP data points were logged by the notorious investigator (see below). Currently, TechPowerUp's GPU database entry contains speculative information—a "GB207" GPU identifier was unearthed a while ago, but some insiders reckon that Team Green's GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile design will be based on "GB206" silicon. Additionally, debates continue to rage over the selection of GDDR7 or GDDR6 VRAM. So far, all launched tiers of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50-series have emerged with GDDR7 memory modules.

NVIDIA has quietly released a firmware patch for its GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti graphics cards to fix a frustrating blank-screen issue that appears when users restart their systems. Interestingly, this reboot glitch affects only the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti models built on NVIDIA's GB206 silicon. Other RTX 50-series cards and the older RTX 20, RTX 30, and RTX 40 generations do not show this behavior. While NVIDIA has not revealed exactly what went wrong, providing a vBIOS patch suggests the issue lies in its own firmware code. This update is delivered as a vBIOS upgrade rather than a traditional driver, and it must be applied manually using NVIDIA's new GPU UEFI Firmware Update Tool v2.0. The problem seems to come from the way the RTX 5060 series vBIOS communicates with certain motherboard BIOS or UEFI implementations.

On systems booting in Legacy (CSM) mode or those lacking full UEFI support, users sometimes encounter a black screen on reboot even if the operating system and drivers are correctly installed. NVIDIA's utility first checks if you need the update, then walks you through the flashing process step by step. Because flashing firmware always carries some risk, especially if your power goes out mid-update, NVIDIA recommends that only those experiencing blank screens should proceed. Before you start, power down your PC completely, make sure you have the latest BIOS from your motherboard maker and switch to UEFI boot mode. If you still cannot get any display, try plugging it into your integrated graphics or a second GPU so you can run the update tool. After closing all your applications and pausing any pending OS updates, follow the on-screen prompts to apply the vBIOS fix. If your motherboard does not support UEFI mode, contact your graphics card vendor for a legacy firmware version.

Here are some of the first pictures of Gigabyte's Radeon RX 9060 XT Gaming OC, the company's premium custom-design graphics card based on the new RX 9060 XT performance segment GPU announced earlier today. The card comes in 16 GB and 8 GB variants, with a slight price premium over the $349 (16 GB) and $299 (8 GB) MSRP pricing of AMD. Both cards come with a 2-slot thick aluminium fin-stack cooling solution with three fans. The sole power connector is an 8-pin PCIe power, which is sufficient, given the 180 W TBP for both memory variants of the RX 9060 XT. The RX 9060 XT goes on sale from June 5, 2025.

Next up is a very interesting card by Gigabyte, the GeForce RTX 5060 OC Low Profile. This card comes in a 2-slot thick, half-height (low-profile) form-factor, with a board length of just 18.2 cm. The card's 2-slot thick cooler features a compacted aluminium fin-stack heatsink that's ventilated by a trio of 40 mm fans. The card draws power from a single 8-pin PCIe connector. You get a full suite of display outputs taking advantage of the two slots, including three DisplayPorts and an HDMI.More pictures follow.

We stopped by ZOTAC at the Computex 2025 show as the company previously hinted the return of the ArcticStorm Series, in the form of the ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 5090 ArcticStorm AIO. In addition to this flagship liquid cooled GeForce RTX 5090, ZOTAC is also working on a low-profile GeForce RTX 5060, which could be quite popular for small form-factor builds.

The star of the show is definitely the Gaming GeForce RTX 5090 ArcticStorm AIO graphics card, as this will be positioned as the flagship graphics card in ZOTAC's lineup, featuring an all-in-one liquid cooling with 360 mm radiator with three 120 mm RGB fans and SPECTRA 2.0 ARGB lighting, Infinity Mirror design, dual BIOS, and metal backplate. It is a 2.2-slot design and while the specifications are still not finalized, we expect a decent factory-overclock. ZOTAC is also showing off a low-profile GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card, meant for SFF systems and should be compatible with most, if not all PC cases. It is a part of ZOTAC's SOLID Series lineup, takes up two slots, needs a single 8-pin PCIe power connector, has two DisplayPort and one HDMI output, and features a three-fan design. Bear in mind that ZOTAC also has full-height single-fan ITX-ready GeForce RTX 5060, but low-profile graphics cards are not that common these days.

ZOTAC made a notable impression at Computex 2025 by unveiling a range of compact gaming and AI-ready machines combining high performance and tiny footprints. The highlight was the second-generation ZOTAC Zone handheld prototype, now powered by AMD's top-tier Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU. Equipped with Radeon 890M graphics, the Zone achieves smooth 1080p gameplay on its 7-inch AMOLED display, which offers a 120 Hz refresh rate and up to 800 nits of brightness. Despite its size, the device packs either 24 GB or 32 GB of LPDDR5X memory alongside a 1 TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD to ensure rapid load times and efficient multitasking.

For wireless connectivity, ZOTAC has included Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, dual USB4 ports, and a microSD slot. A built-in kickstand adds flexibility to handheld play, and Hall-effect joysticks, precise triggers, and twin trackpads provide a control scheme designed for accuracy. A 48.5 Wh battery that should support extended gaming sessions is powering all this. ZOTAC also previewed its Manjaro Linux distribution on the Zone, featuring a dedicated handheld interface and Wine-based compatibility for Windows titles.

Besides mini PCs and laptops, Colorful's Computex 2025 display had much more to show. The star of the show is an interesting COLORFIRE MEOW Series PC, which blends retro gaming nostalgia with modern performance. It is a microATX chassis, finished in white and orange, featuring Bobi cat graphics and paw print accents. Measuring 470 × 244 × 370 mm and housing a COLORFIRE B650M MEOW WiFi motherboard alongside a GeForce RTX 5060 Ti MEOW-ORG 16 GB graphics card, it is covered in thematic Bobi cat yellow prints. Everything from the motherboard to the case, even the AIO, follows a white and yellow design.

Manli just announced their RTX 5060 cards in two variants: Nebula and Polar Fox. Based on NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture, these cards pack 3,840 CUDA cores, 8 GB of GDDR7 memory running at 28 Gbps, DLSS 4 support, and 5th-generation Tensor Cores. The compact Manli Nebula GeForce RTX 5060 model measures 211 mm x 120 mm x 41 mm, runs at 2280 MHz (base) / 2497 MHz (boost) with 145 W power draw and sports a 9 cm dual-fan cooling design in a two slot format.

The slightly bigger Polar Fox GeForce RTX 5060 OC version measures 240 mm x 126 mm x 50 mm and features higher boost clocks at 2280 MHz (base) / 2550 MHz (boost). It uses 155 W, comes in a 2.5-slot format with enhanced cooling, sporting Manli's well-known anime-styled design that strives to catch users' attention. For output, both graphics cards offer three DisplayPort and one HDMI connectors. Manli did not provide information regarding pricing or availability.

PNY has made its Computex 2025 shine with its new GPU SKUs that feature chrome-plated cooler shrouds. Now only carrying a unique aesthetic, these cards feature what appears to be a printed signature of none other than NVIDIA CEO Jensen H. Huang. Available in GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 editions, these chrome-polished SKUs feature ARGB lighting control to match any PC aesthetics. PNY has developed an equally interesting RTX PRO 6000 GPU alongside gamer-focused models, with a chrome-plated blower cooler. While this doesn't have any RGB lights, it is supposed to go into workstation builds, where aesthetics aren't exactly the most important factor.

NVIDIA has released the latest version of its GeForce Game Ready drivers, GeForce 576.52 WHQL. The new drivers add support for the new GeForce RTX 5060 desktop and laptop GPUs, and are Game Ready drivers which add DLSS 4 support for F1 25 and Dune: Awakening games, and support for "full ray tracing" update for NARAKA: BLADEPOINT.

The list of fixed issues includes several gaming bugs, including game crashes in F1 23, F1 24, and SCUM games, black screen corruption issues in Diablo II Resurrected when using DLSS, and shader disk cache issues with certain games. NVIDIA also fixed general bugs in Lumion 12 with missing certain UI components and in Varjo XR3 HMD which was not working on RTX 50 series GPUs.

Maxsun is getting ready to release new graphics cards at Computex 2025, starting with the newly and highly expected entry-level RTX 5060 series that NVIDIA just announced and continuing with some fresh models of its iCraft AIGA series. One of the first that we noticed is the MS GeForce RTX 5060 LP 8G (8 GB 128-bit GDDR7), a low-profile, two-slot version measuring 182 x 69 x 38 mm. This particular implementation uses for cooling three 5 cm fans in combination with a heatsink and dual heat-pipes. The card is powered by a standard 8-pin connector and sports 2x DisplayPort and 2x HDMI output connectors. Still in the RTX 5060 series, we also noticed Maxsun's GeForce RTX 5060 Ti iCraft OC16G AIGA X2 Classic graphics card. This card comes in a more compact format measuring 252 x 124 x 43 mm, is equipped with 16 GB GDDR7 memory and sports two 9 cm fans with intelligent fan control technology and a heatsink with three heat pipes. The design follows Maxsun iCraft AIGA theme and includes iCraft Skylight RGB lighting for a more appealing aesthetics.

In the same iCraft AIGA series, Maxsun's lineup included the RTX 5070 iCraft OC12G AIGA and the RTX 5080 iCraft OC16G AIGA Plus running at 2295 MHz (2617 MHz Boost). The RTX 5070 uses three 9 cm fans with six heat pipes for cooling while for the RTX 5080 Maxsun opted for three 10 cm fans. However, Maxsun products are currently restricted to the Chinese market, so we will not be seeing any of them at Western retailers.

Inno3D is exhibiting many already released graphics card products at their Computex 2025 booth, but TechPowerUp's day zero visit focused on an intriguing wall-mounted demo unit. Earlier today, NVIDIA announced the official launch of its affordable GeForce RTX 5060 8 GB desktop and laptop designs. Prior to full-on introduction, media outlets have expressed dissatisfaction regarding Team Green's "Blackwell" GPU entry-mainstream review conditions. Currently, many professional reviewers are "on-site" in Taiwan. At this rate, the publication of in-depth evaluations will occur following the conclusion of this week's extremely important trade event.

The Inno3D GeForce RTX 5060 TWIN X2 OC White SKU reuses a familiar dual-fan setup; as featured on readily available GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB options (black/silver or white/silver). Interestingly, the manufacturer also extends this dual-slot thick design into triple-fan territories (for RTX 5060 Ti and above). The TechPowerUp GPU database does not allude to any Inno3D GeForce RTX 5060 (non-Ti) models being outfitted with a third fan. As discussed in a mid-April PR piece, Inno3D engineers have drummed up a custom PCB layout. Despite the implementation of a very shallow overclock, the TWIN X2 cooling solution is not expected to struggle—when tasked with the tempering of Team Green's GB206 GPU die.

ASUS presented at Computex 2025 its complete updated gaming laptops series that features NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060/5070 graphics solutions with the latest Intel and AMD CPUs. The ROG Zephyrus G14/G16 and ROG Strix G16/18 alongside ASUS TUF A14/A16/F16 gaming laptops were showcased at ASUS's booth and are expected to hit the stores soon, giving gamers powerful up-to-date portable solutions to fuel their gaming passion. The ROG Zephyrus G14 gaming laptops are equipped with AMD Ryzen AI 9 270 processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, 16 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD. All those are packed in a slim form with just 1.5 kg weight and 1.6 cm thin. The ROG Strix G16 & G18 gaming laptops offer Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX or AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX processors, NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics, up to 32 GB RAM, and ROG Nebula Displays with 240 Hz refresh rates.

The TUF Gaming A18, TUF's first 18-inch laptop, comes with AMD Ryzen 7 260, RTX 5060, up to 16 GB DDR5 RAM, 1 TB storage, and a 240 Hz screen with 500 nits brightness. The TUF Gaming F16 and A16 features Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX or AMD Ryzen 9 270 processors respectively, with RTX 5060/5070 GPUs, 2.5K 165 Hz displays, and up to 32 GB DDR5 RAM. The ASUS TUF Gaming A14 is a compact 14-inch gaming laptop featuring up to AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 graphics. It sports a 2.5K (WQXGA, 2560x1600) IPS display with 165 Hz refresh rate, up to 32 GB of LPDDR5X memory, and storage up to 2 TB SSD. The laptop includes a wide range of connectivity with USB4, USB-C, USB-A, and HDMI 2.1 ports, Dolby Atmos audio and a 73Wh battery. It weighs just 1.46 kg with a slim profile under 2 cm thick, and features a white backlit keyboard with a redesigned air intake that helps the cooling.

MSI at the 2025 Computex brought several new innovations to its graphics card product stack. To begin with, the company unveiled its Retro line of graphics cards that bring back to life board designs from at least 10-15 years ago. A case in point is the new GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB Twin Frozr 2025 OC, which features a cooler that visually resembles the Twin Frozr II cooler from around 2012. There's also the RTX 5060 Cyclone, a card with an aluminium fin bagel cooling solution, a cooler design MSI used in the mid-late 2000s—almost 20 years ago!

Next up, is the GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 SUPRIM TITANIUM. This card is possibly MSI's answer to the ASUS ROG Astral Dhahab Edition, but with higher market availability. It features a-two-tone gold+titanium cooler shroud all around. The topside around the fans in particular has a very decadently textured matte finish that feels like a piece of jewellery in person. Lastly, the company showed us its RTX 5080 Expert graphics card. This card targets creators as much as it does gamers, and features a cooler design similar to NVIDIA's FE Double Axial Flow-through. Unlike the RTX 40-series Expert graphics cards, MSI claims to have worked extensively to improve the cooling performance and noise levels of its RTX 50-series Expert cards.More pictures follow.

NVIDIA at the 2025 Computex announced a handful updates to its GeForce RTX gaming graphics ecosystem, with the introduction of the affordable GeForce RTX 5060 "Blackwell" graphics card. This card is based on the same GB206 silicon as the RTX 5060 Ti, but comes with 30 out of 36 SM present on the chip, for 3,840 CUDA cores. It comes with 8 GB of 28 Gbps 128-bit GDDR7 memory. NVIDIA is announcing the GPU for both desktop and laptops. The company claims maxed out gameplay at 1080p with ray tracing enabled, and DLSS Quality pushing frame rates well above 120 FPS. The RTX 5060 is designed to be a $300-class graphics card, while laptops based on it should start around the $1,100-mark.

The Hardware Unboxed team has unleashed some of its sarcastic Aussie wit; in response to an alleged manipulation of GeForce RTX 5060 (non-Ti) review day conditions. In an online dig—directed at Team Green leadership—the Australian media outlet's social media account parodied NVIDIA new product decision-making: "we're not hiding the RTX 5060, we're very proud of it and gamers will love it. Also, we're going to launch the RTX 5060 on May 19th during Computex, and although reviewers have cards right now, we won't be releasing the driver until they go on sale." Mid-way through April, Hardware Unboxed's Tim Schiesser voiced his displeasure regarding a complete lack of GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB evaluation samples—only 16 GB variants were sent out to testers. Curious professional reviewers opted into buying these cheaper variants (out of pocket), including TechPowerUp's W1zzard. Our head honcho's reckoning—of a custom Gainward effort—pointed out far too many compromises.

In a follow-up post, Hardware Unboxed's social media rep took a more measured approach with their disapproval of "controlled conditions." Clarifying the "context" of their earlier rant, they explained: "NVIDIA are trying to hide the RTX 5060, just as they did the RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB. The strategy here is to release it the week of Computex when most of the tech media are in Taiwan attending the show. They're also blocking reviewers from accessing the driver early to evaluate the RTX 5060 and provide reviews at the time of release. So as it stands I have multiple RTX 5060 samples, and I won't be able to review any of them until about a week after they go on sale." VideoCardz, and other critics/watchers believe that a rumored "rushed" development of GeForce RTX 5060-series cards (Ti and non-Ti) resulted in an uninspiring repeat rollout of 8 GB and 16 GB VRAM configurations—albeit upgraded to GDDR7 standards.
