Where to buy it? Why would anyone want to?

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

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.

Strange preview reviews aka, unabashed anti-consumerism.
Nvidia have gone full Robber Baron with this crap, it's ridiculous.

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.

Yeah, I just wanted to inject a little reality into the conversation. There will be hundreds of thousands or millions of these cards sold.

All Nvidia really has to do to fix it is use 3 GB GDDR7 to drop in a 5060 12GB at the same price. I don't think low sales are going to be what convinces them to do that though.

 

[Notton]

One thing to keep in mind is that a lot of cheap/entry level pre-built gaming desktops and laptops come equipped with a low end RTX card, and those sell like hotcakes.

Most people who build their own PC are unlikely to buy an entry level card... or at least I'd like to think they are shopping smarter than that since they're smart enough to DIY.

Why is it always an "Intel card" that needs to be the competitor? Does AMD suck that much? RDNA2 beat Nvidia especially on the low end but people still bought 3050's many times over 6600's at the same price. Sad.

My last 4 cards have been Nvidia because I've had too many bad experiences with AMD in the past. Although the tables may have turned with this generation, I'm kind of joined at the hip to Nvidia now because I need CUDA. The Intel suggestion was simply because they seemed to be better value than AMD, although I just checked the latest pricing and I'm not so sure about that now.

come off it no one bough the 4060 8gb by choice most are in prebuilt i could go to any website in the uk and a 4060 will be in there hell Linus tech tips if I recall had a few in a secret shopper video recommended to them.

same goes for the 3060 8gb/12gb was in alot of prebuilts also. but the 3060 12gb can be had for around 220-240 pounds in uk.

5060 is just another cut down horrible card. it skids in on a 128 bit bus which before the 4060 these cards were on a 192 bit bus the pci cut down to x8 was just another sneaky cost cutting measure and to keep the 4060 under.

i do miss the days were aib were able to modify some aspects.

Hardware Unboxed, with the help of MSI, was able to review this junk card while at Computex (TLDW: it's faster than a 4060, but by how much varies pretty wildly, and basically bounces between 3060 Ti and 3070 performance) :

Anyone with ANY knowledge would avoid it like the plague. 8GB cards should be under $200. And considering you can get the AMD RX9060XT 16GB for around the same price (within $30 of MSRP), no one should bother with this junk! (and I would avoid the RX9060 XT 8GB too!)

If everyone was eating sh** sandwiches, would you sit down for a quick bite? Popularity doesn't make a product GOOD, it just makes it popular.

I can fathom why they are pulling this BS...because they KNOW the card doesn't perform anywhere NEAR what the 16GB cards do (which are only $30 more from the competition), and they KNOW they will get hammered in reviews, so...instead of not releasing, they will release it, have an army of unwilling conscripted reviewers who are scared of Nvidia post glowing "previews" and try to skate by with a substandard product that's obsolete out of the box.

All their shenanigans (FARVA!) make me want to do is to swear off the brand forever. It will be a cold day in hell before I EVER buy an Nvidia card...I don't care WHAT the performance is!

Some people are confused and don't think the sandwich will be popular, when history shows that it probably will. Other confused people don't think the sandwich can handle any 1080p gaming at all, when it clearly can.

And some are confused because typically the VAST majority of these cards are not sold to retailers, but included in pre-built systems sold to people who don't know any better.
