RTX5000 Reviews

I'll go the other way. There has beenn huge leaps in performance year over year for a long time now, and the last year or two the performance uptik accross all areas of technology has pretty much slowed to a crawl. And that's fine. If you have a 4060ti why do you need a 5060ti? etc. Imho this can be better for consumers as they can sit with their gear for longer.

What I really do hate, like with a serious passion, is the turn that these tech reviewers have taken in regards to new releases. doom and gloom. this is trash. that's trash. I just cant stomach them anymore.
 
Hasn't that been the case for maybe the last decade at least? Always fine to skip a generation, no need to upgrade.

But I agree, these reviews are a bit pointless with the negative stances they take. If somebody is walking into a store or ordering a new PC, the options are going to be limited to current generation cards. If their preference is towards NVIDIA, then they'll be buying what their budget allows. Not everyone wants a used GPU or to dig through all the various marketplaces to find a seller.

Well looks like Nvidia is back to its old marketing game. Both HUB and deb8uer pointed out that a selected few media outlets were allow to "preview" the RTX 5060 on the conditions that they must test the card strictly according to Nvidia's guidelines. This included specific settings, resolutions, and omitting comparison to AMD cards.


 
So here's GN's coverage about Nvidia's tactics. They have threaten access to a specific thermal engineer that GN has interviewed before unless GN changes their editorial direction.

Very frustrating, but sadly I am not surprised. I really wish the market as a whole would shift away from nvidia as a company due to their current beliefs and practices…but sadly that will also not happen.

HUB got their hands on a 5060 8GB for review, since they are doing it from their hotel room at Computex, it's not a complete review.

So basically a 3070 (win some/lose some, same vram, lower power, newer features). 2 Generations to go up one tier in performance. Its easy to jump on the negativity train, but I can see where it comes from.

Personally I feel that this is a perfectly fine GPU but that it has one major issue that could be addressed in one of two ways. 8GB is not enough for the performance this GPU can offer in many new games, and it is not enough to use all the new features that nvidia has been pushing everyone to use. IMO it either needs a price cut and then properly advertise it as what it (a great esports/upgrade GPU, but with limited vram), or it should have been released with 12+gb VRAM to justify pricing/capabilities (either higher capacity dram chips, or been designed from the ground up with a wider bus width).
 
It's price and availability, pure and simple. If GPUs were priced reasonably and available on the market for that msrp, then nobody would be losing their minds. But when performance barely moves the needle, yet prices go up and availability goes down (artificially hiking that price even further) then people have a ligitimate reason to be upset. Paying more for less when there's a monopoly on the market makes people want to riot.
 
I haven't watched a ton of reviews on the 5x series short of the general consensus of scam frames. Is this actually optimization of game engines? Or have they, (Nvidia), figured out a way to game the system?

I don't like that they are essentially forcing reviewers into a corner and given a couple of years, when the truth comes out, what chance or options will the general public even have?

I for one don't trust any of it.
