I’ve just hit a big snag with my plan to test the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 next week, as it turns out I won’t actually be able to publish a review of Team Jensen’s new $299 graphics card before it comes out. That’s because Nvidia has taken the extraordinary step not to issue the press with a pre-release driver. In fact, an Nvidia rep just told me that the first driver I’ll be able to use is the public one that comes out on May 19, which is the GPU’s launch day.
