Nvidia is accused of using manipulative tactics to influence the reviews of its RTX 5060 graphics card, which retails at $299. The company's controversial approach involved launching the product during Computex, restricting driver access until the launch date. Certain reviewers received privileges to test early but under strict conditions that favored the new GPU, ultimately leading to concerns about ethical practices. This follows a backlash from the previous 4060, highlighting a pattern of defensive behavior from Nvidia to control its product perception in the highly competitive GPU market.
Nvidia strategically withheld drivers and access from most reviewers to ensure favorable reviews for the RTX 5060, manipulating benchmarks and comparisons.
The company's tactics involved launching the RTX 5060 when reviewers were away, making it difficult to conduct independent assessments on time.
