NVIDIA Reportedly Delays Reviews Until Sales Launch

Sure, let’s dive in, shall we?

You know, when I first heard about NVIDIA’s whole situation with the RTX 5060, I couldn’t help but feel like something was, well, a bit fishy. Seriously! So here we are, about 11 days away—give or take, right?—from this new GPU hitting the stores. Yet, guess what? No sign of a driver. It’s like planning a road trip without a map. (Does anyone even use maps anymore?)

NVIDIA kinda dropped this bombshell alongside the RTX 5060 Ti. But, oh boy, if you’re expecting to know how this GPU sings before it’s out in the wild, think again. They’re playing secretive, aren’t they? Almost like they’re worried gamers will unravel some hidden truth. Spooky, right?

Igor’s Lab spilled the beans on this one. Apparently, NVIDIA’s playing hard to get with the public driver until, drumroll please, the same day the card is out—May 19. I mean, if you’re in a rush to snag one early, good luck finding out what it can really do. It’s like buying a car without the test drive. Anyway—wait, where was I? Oh, yeah! Computex! Great spectacle. But reviewers might be busy ogling other shiny gadgets instead.

Even Hardware Unboxed gave a little nod to this notion. They’ve got the GPUs ready to review but are as stuck as a squirrel in traffic without the proper driver. It’s almost as if NVIDIA’s covering their tracks, ensuring nobody spills the beans early. Those sneaky folks, huh?

And imagine this, you’re all set to buy after catching a fancy review video, but instead, you’re staring at NVIDIA’s own, possibly over-polished figures. Yep, they’re claiming a 25% performance boost. Fancy, huh? But who’s verifying that?

Speaking of GPUs, remember when 8GB was the hottest thing? In 2025, it’s basically yesterday’s news. Which might explain why the 5060 Ti 8GB kinda tanked. It’s like expecting to play an epic symphony on a rusty old piano. Games have leveled up, and maybe that’s why NVIDIA’s a bit shy about critics testing it first.

As Igor’s Lab points out, it’s all a waiting game until the 19th. Grab your popcorn, ‘cause this drama might just have some plot twists.
