NVIDIA offers RTX 5060 drivers for “previews” controlled on some sites

The official debut of RTX 5060 can certainly be considered atypical compared to the rest of the RTX 50 series. The model was announced in conjunction with RTX 5060 TI, but will make its official debut only tomorrow, May 19. At first, it seemed that there would be no reviews of the board before the launch, but now they start to appear “previews” on the internet. “

It is important to remember that at the beginning of the month, it was reported that Nvidia would not offer early drivers for the press being able to review RTX 5060 before its release, effectively blocking this type of content. As the plaque debut at Computex 2025 week, these reviews should take even longer to come out, due to the coverage of the event by the world’s leading technology sites.

Now, however, we have “previews” for the GPU showing that Nvidia’s strategy is a little different from what you imagined. Some sites received early drivers for the plate, on the condition that they first published these “previews”, testing five specific games, chosen by the company.

‘The reason for this unusual situation: Nvidia has decided to make the driver, which is essential to test the GPU, available in advance under certain conditions, and for a very limited number of publications around the world. This includes us, ”explains the Gamestar website.“ What is particularly crucial is that we are not able to freely test which video cards and games we would use to measure and with which settings for this preview. ”

Videocardz reports that not every site has not evidently explained the conditions of its previews, which may end up being confused with reviews. However, for those interested in RTX 5060, it may be interesting to see the opinion of publications, with the knowledge that the initial tests were not done freely.

“Of course, this is a very initial look of what she (RTX 5060) can do, and Nvidia has been well maintained to make sure we share information about games that were extremely well optimized for Nvidia GPUS,” says Tom’s Guide. “The games we can talk about are AvoWed, Cyberpunk 2077, Doom: The Dark AGES, Hogwarts Legacy and Marvel Rivals.”

The site says the plate does very well in the tested games, assigning its performance commendable mainly to technologies such as DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation. Still, the publication mentions the 8GB of Vram as a possible Achilles heel, and recommends readers to be aware of the publication of the review itself.
