Why Review Embargo and Pre-Testing Is Important In all of my time reviewing hardware, I have rarely seen this move, and it is usually for reasons not benefiting the consumer. In this editorial news article, I am going to discuss some opinions about review embargo dates and times with pre-testing and some other interesting information. […]

.....trouble with driver or the RTX 5060 hardware, or both? Or something is rotten at nvidia? Or nvidia doesnt care about this card or how long it takes to be reviewed.....or they dont care about reviews anymore.
 
60 series are their best selling ones, I don't doubt this will be the case again.

Reviewers running 60 series cars at 4k everything cranked to prove 8GB of Vram is not enough I can't realy take serious.

People need to look at their usecase and buy from that perspective, if that's some 5 or 10 year old E-sports game at 720p or 1080 I'm sure they will be decent enough.

I agree. Seeing these idiots try to run CP2077 at 4K with max settings being like "SEE....it's using all the VRAM!!!" on a card that could never run at those settings even if there was enough VRAM.

Proves nothing. People aren't buying a 60 series card to max out settings at 4K. They'll be happy to run 1440P at medium settings with decent frame rates.
 
I'd be more interested in it for content creation. Specifically doing stuff like the 'AI' denoising that Adobe Lightroom employs, but also the video converters and so on.

And pretty much anything that fits within 8GB can run well enough at 1080p, and 1440p with judicious settings. That's really who this card is for; it's really only 'bad' if it is either priced too high or unavailable.
 
I haven't tried in a bit but is there something stopping reviewers from using TechPowerUp's NVCleanstall and forcing the 5060 to work with current drivers?

I know it isn't going to be 'perfect' but it's better than nothing.

I used to do this back in the day on my 680m laptop after NVIDIA dropped driver support for mobile kepler but kept support for desktop kepler.

Nvidia's been having driver issues with the 50-series too. Not 'broken', but visible enough bugs in and out of games to be noteworthy.

Still might work though, who knows?
