    • It's almost comical speaking of things comical What me nice real nice Linus But what's not nice is the way Nvidia has treated basically everyone like crap on this launch We've talked before at length about how Nvidia's board partners don't have cards their retail partners Don't have products to sell and their customers can't even afford their products But they took a massive dump on us too when we tried to coordinate dates for our reviews They told us and I kid you not just make your content whenever the card arrives What we all know how important it is to have a review ready the moment a new product launches And if there's no set date It means that whoever shorts out some benchmarks first ends up with the best performing video This incentivizes low effort low quality reviews, which is harmful to gamers and it also incentivizes crunch culture gross We're gonna touch on that a little bit later in this video because it was a major factor for us when we decided to sit this one out on LTT and upload this video instead of a video dedicated to the Performance and features of the RTX 5060 family, which is a shame because some of Nvidia's new AI features Legitimately are kind of cool Nvidia has data that proves what I know from speaking to people Anecdotally and that is that most gamers don't really care about pixel perfect image quality and they will turn on features like AI upscaling and multi-frame gen which generates three fake frames for every real frame rendered and We enjoy them and the 5060 series gives gamers access to these features at a lower price point than before We were legitimately excited to see how they might perform The problem is that while Nvidia makes our jobs more difficult doing those investigations They're also ramping up their bombastic marketing claims saying things like 50 times the performance for millions of gamers I mean, yeah sure if you cherry-pick the games that support these magical more FPS settings And if you compare to a nine-year-old card that doesn't support these features I guess you can say that but I guess you can also see why Nvidia after they say stuff like that doesn't want too many Actual reviews of these cards.
