Nvidia has come under scrutiny for hiding issues with its RTX 50-series graphics cards, such as missing ROPs and supply problems.
Review samples for the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB were not sent out, and reviewers are restricted from testing the RTX 5060 until launch day.
The 16GB version of the RTX 5060 Ti received positive reviews, while the 8GB version performed poorly at higher resolutions.
Nvidia is repeating its strategy with the RTX 5060 by restricting reviewers' access to drivers before launch.
The launch timing at Computex and limited stock may lead gamers to make uninformed decisions based on the lack of reviews.
Nvidia has been criticized for misleading claims about the performance of its graphics cards, such as the RTX 5090 and RTX 5070.
Despite knowing the limitations of its cards, Nvidia chooses to hide these issues instead of addressing them upfront.
The focus on AI and datacenters over gaming has led to Nvidia neglecting the needs and expectations of gamers.
Consumers are advised to be cautious of Nvidia's marketing hype and wait for reviews before making purchasing decisions.
Nvidia's practices have been described as shady and underhanded, raising concerns about transparency and consumer trust.
