Sure, let me give that a whirl without all the polished edges.

NVIDIA’s up to something weird. I mean, you know when something just doesn’t sit right? Yeah, that’s kinda the vibe around this RTX 5060 8GB GPU. They’re playing it all close to the chest—no driver until it’s already out there walking the streets on May 19th. Like, why hold back? Smells kinda fishy. Or am I just suspicious? Could be both.
So, they’ve been on about this new line-up, right? Unveiled it alongside the 5060 Ti last month. But now we’re like 11 days out from launch, and everyone’s scratching their heads wondering what’s hidden under the hood. They’re keeping it hush-hush, which, let’s be real, doesn’t scream confidence in their product. No early peeks for gamers itching to get their hands dirty. Seriously, by the time reviews pop up, the thing’s already on your doorstep.
Igor’s Lab spilled the beans, saying the driver’s being kept under lock until the big day at Computex. And wouldn’t you know it, they’ll be off somewhere exotic (or just away from their testing lair) till May 26. Like, just my luck, right?
Oh, and Computex is this massive tech shindig. Most of our tech reviewer pals will be out and about, too busy starry-eyed over the latest shiny gadgets instead of parked in front of a screen testing GPUs. Convenient, huh, NVIDIA?
Now, Hardware Unboxed chirps in, confirming the same shenanigans. Even though they’ve got these RTX 5060 review units cooling their heels at their offices, they can’t say beans about them till that driver drops. So, we’re all just hanging in a weird limbo, relying on NVIDIA’s numbers, which… well, let’s just say they’ve got a reputation for being a bit, um, optimistic.
The specs tell us it’s an 8GB VRAM beast, like its predecessor. But 8GB in 2025? That’s like trying to run a marathon in flip-flops. The RTX 5060 Ti flopped like a soggy pancake because it couldn’t keep up. Maybe that’s why NVIDIA’s got cold feet about this one.
Anyway, rambling here, but hey, that’s the scoop as it stands. Crossing fingers that once we get the driver, it’s not all smoke and mirrors. We’ll see if it’s worth the wait—or the hype.
