Nvidia's RTX 5060 Review Manipulation Scandal: A Calculated Risk?
2025-05-22
Nvidia allegedly manipulated reviews of its RTX 5060 graphics card to avoid a repeat of the 4060's poor reception. Tactics included delaying driver releases, restricting testing parameters, and even threatening reviewers to skew benchmarks in its favor. Independent reviews, however, revealed the 5060 offers underwhelming performance improvements, sometimes falling short of even a four-year-old 3060 Ti. Outlets like GamersNexus exposed Nvidia's actions, causing industry uproar and highlighting the company's willingness to compromise integrity for profit. The incident raises questions about the future of GPU reviews and Nvidia's priorities.
