Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 review: passable GPU, shame about the drivers
- The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060, despite controversies, offers decent performance at an affordable price for 1080p gaming.
- Specs include 3840 CUDA Cores, base clock speed of 2.28GHz, boost clock speed of 2.49GHz, 8GB GDDR7 VRAM, and 145W power.
- Priced at £270 / $299, the RTX 5060 faces driver issues causing problems in various games, impacting performance.
- While suitable for 1080p gaming, the RTX 5060 struggles with 1440p performance, especially in demanding titles like Cyberpunk 2077.
- The 8GB VRAM may suffice for 1080p gameplay, but upgrading to the RTX 5060 Ti with 16GB VRAM is recommended for better performance.
- DLSS 4 provides upscaling benefits, but struggles to smoothen low-performance games without a base of ordinarily rendered frames.
- At 1080p, the RTX 5060 competes well against the RTX 4060, offering improved performance particularly in games like Metro and Cyberpunk.
- Path tracing performance remains questionable on the RTX 5060, with limitations in achieving consistent playable framerates.
- Despite its potential, the RTX 5060 is hindered by problematic drivers causing stuttering, crashes, and framerate drops in various games.
- Given the current driver issues, recommending the RTX 5060 becomes challenging, despite its affordability and decent 1080p performance.
