The excitement train has chugged forward to its unexpected acceleration with a tachyon tweet from NVIDIA about raw power and capacity in the upcoming GeForce RTX 5060. Crafted on the foundation of NVIDIA Blackwell and DLSS 4, the next generation GPU is promised to breezily push through Avowed at more than 100fps-an astounding feat considering older generations never came anywhere close. Meanwhile, they are in the middle of a giveaway, so please share hashtag #GeForceRTX5060 to win one. Some gamers were still bouncing, and the others have been reacting all over the establishing.
On the positive side, would-be RTX 5060 owners, your imagination is free to roam. Through this tweet, NVIDIA was focusing on achieving absurdly high frame rates in demanding games using the DLSS frame generation technology. One fan tweeted, “The dream #GeForceRTX5060,” followed by another reply saying, “Can’t wait to see what it can do.” Another party bragged on his RTX 4060: “The Witcher 3 was put through its paces with ray tracing and DLSS, and what a great experience then.”
That is besides the point for some too. “People started raising eyebrows and legitimate concerns about the tech and its promotion. One person questioned how frame generation would cope with fast-paced melee combat: “Will it be able to accurately generate where the fighters will be?” Another pointed to the drawbacks: “Maybe for single-player games it’s fine, but for competitive games it’s a letdown” when input lag is brought up. And the classic VRAM argument—to be frank: “Seems like you’re the only one who doesn’t see a problem.”
The price gripe, just for a change, starts now. Sarcastically dubbing the RTX 5060 as “snake oil,” a user cried out then demanding NVIDIA “fix your pricing” after accusing them of “false advertising.” That stings. “I’m 10 generations behind,” one said, throwing his hands up, “and I’m going to enter every giveaway I can.” The struggle is real.
Some clarity on a few points was purportedly given by NVIDIA in a follow-up tweet, stating that the demo was captured at 1080p max settings using various DLSS modes across different GPU generations. A bit contradictory might best describe the ensuing reactions: some strangers started questioning the need for 1080p gaming in 2025, back-to-back followed by relative queries of “which is worse” between frame generation and cloud gaming (Spoiler alert: Gamers never agree on either).
So, what is the verdict? RTX 5060 might be making some noise; but most are unconvinced it is what NVIDIA calls a game-changer. Input lag, VRAM, and can frame-gen tech keep up with fast-paced action have laid the groundwork for a heated discourse. However, for somebody looking for a cheap upgrade from outdated hardware, the opportunity to win one is just too sweet to pass. Can 5060 ever fulfill its hype… Let’s wait and watch for that. Until then, keep your eyes glued to those giveaways; some lucky human is bound to win.
