Comment on Nvidia’s RTX 5060 review debacle should be a wake-up call for gamers and reviewers

Disgusting.
This would be sad and highly unethical if coming from some small, relatively new company, struggling to keep up. But since it’s coming from a large, monopolistic and 30yo old corporation it becomes way worse.
I’m glad I stopped buying their cards. My last one is an AMD, and I’m going Chinese for the next one (a decade or so from now).

To some extent it comes down to nvidia’s software. Like, some people like their upscaling, and I’ve heard from streamers that they need them for NVENC.
On the other hand, their Linux drivers are awful and they’ve been less than cooperative on that front in the past.

They’ve been getting a lot better after hiring that one guy to work on their open source drivers. I’m curious how good they’re going to be in a year or so.

I just can’t justify the cost for what I’d get. You have to spend basically what I spent on my entire computer just to get a half decent Nvidia.

Oh yah, for sure 90% of people shouldn’t be wasting the money on Nvidia cards at this point. There are very few situations where they make sense.
Intel and AMD both have way better price to performance cards.
