Overview

• NVIDIA has announced that drivers for the GeForce RTX 5060 will not be released until the retail launch on May 19, 2025.
• This decision prevents tech reviewers from conducting day-one benchmarks, as systems require proper drivers for reliable testing.
• The launch coincides with Computex in Taipei, where many reviewers will be unavailable to test the GPU promptly.
• The RTX 5060 retains 8 GB of VRAM, a specification criticized as inadequate for modern gaming demands in 2025.
• Consumers will initially rely on NVIDIA's performance claims, including a promised 25% raster performance uplift, until independent reviews are published post-launch.
