    Well, I'm fairly certain that it'd be less scalped than Pokemon cards.. that might be the only thing it has going for it however.

    Enough people bought the 4060 8GB to make it the third most popular GPU on Steam Hardware Survey, behind the 4060 Laptop and 3060:

    If the 5060 is ~20% faster, then it's objectively better. With the exception of driver issues if those are still a bigger problem for 50 series.

    Don't buy it. nVidia is playing games with reviewers to hide any negativity that this card may garner.

    I would have to read a legit, comprehensive review of it before I would buy it. I can't fathom why Nvidia is playing games with the drivers/reviewers. Most people just suspect the card has severe performance issues and they are trying to hide it as long as possible. Personally, I will wait. It would be nice if Nvidia explained themselves. Did they find significant bugs in the drivers and have to do emergency fixes before the reviews?

    Hashtag "Do not buy it".

    For the un-initiated in sarcastic speak: #dontbuyit :)

    Regards.

    They have been working on emergency fixes for their 50s drivers for the last 5 months. That's no breaking news.

    nvidia using greasy tactics to push reviewers makes me not want to purchase anything with their logo on it.
    Making mega-billions and having most of the market share makes me wonder why they stoop to the bottom. when they don't have to do that.

    In a straight A:B comparison then of course it really ought to do a little better, but going forward it will probably still be fundamentally hamstrung by its lack of memory. Yes, It might end up with a reasonable street price, but if cost is your main concern, consider an Intel card instead. And that's without going into the business ethics angle.
