NVIDIA and ASUS ROG burst the bubble with their GeForce RTX 5060 spotlight, stirring some hype and some skepticism among the community. ASUS ROG TUF Gaming RTX 5060 8GB GDDR7 OC Edition pledges 100+ fps in your beloved games, but the world is not entirely convinced.
To start off, let’s talk specs, because I’m sure that’s why you guys are here. Featuring Triple Axial-Tech fans (yeah, triple because they wanted to), a dual BIOS switch for experimenters, and GPU Tweak III so you can tweak anything available for performance; oh, by the way, it’s GDDR7 memory. Because obviously, GDDR6 somehow lost in its stature.
Here’s the kicker – NVIDIA and ASUS are having a giveaway; drop a #GeForceRTX5060 in reply, and you could be in for one of these beauties. The nature of responses is a crazy mix: grimy pleas, hard sarcasm, and the occasional confused gamer wondering why there are three fans.
Some gems in all that mess:
– NickFirzen: For his brother(s). A noble claim, I suppose.
– Gintoki WD: Not impressed: “8GB like seriously.. It seems like you guys never learn.” Ouch.
– DeathStar: Drops the ultimate dissent: “100 fake frames.” Brutally honest.
– A. Sparks: Addresses the elephant in the room—scalpers: “I wouldn’t mind paying MSRP but everyone out there is scalping these like they are Michael Jackson tickets.” Too real.
– PlayDota2: Just want to know if there’s RGB. Priorities, folks.
And then there’s Capape Yohan who blessed us with a polite French comment closer to: “Hello, thank you for this superb contest :), I participate with pleasure, good luck and good day :).” A rarity considered wholesome in this sea of chaos.
But not everyone is here for the hype. Taker calls it “absolutely overkill features on an underwhelming card,” while Mirx claimed it is “faster than the 5060ti 8GB” and urged everyone just to skip on the “waste” of a card. The drama is real.
That said: What’s The Verdict? A gem definitely catching glances is ASUS ROG TUF Gaming RTX 5060 8GB GDDR7 OC Edition, but whether it will really earn all the hype (or the scalper’s markup) is a whole different matter. Some gamers are willing to sell a kidney to get one, while others are side-eyeing that 8GB VRAM like it’s 2015.
One has to consider this if he is buying a GPU anytime soon because of the waves this card has been making. RTX 5060 might very well be shaping as this year’s most divisive release, be it for Team Hype or Team Skeptic. Now who is actually going to win the giveaway? Make your bets.
And if you are still clinging to that 2060 super like one hopeful commenter decided to say, good luck holding out for another 5 years. You’re going to need it.
So, yeah, the RTX 5060 is in the house, and the internet is on fire. More buzz than anyone has imagined, and whether it is going to deliver or flop remains to be seen, but we are here with gamers who love arguing about graphic cards almost as much as they love playing with them.
Wait, what was I going on about? Oh, yeah. Frames. Fans. Giveaways. I’m so down for it.
