NVIDIA's strategy of launching GPUs with no review embargoes and restrictive seeding is disrespectful to both the press and consumers.

“providing a card over a weekend with a launch embargo Tuesday morning is a not good for consumers because it means that everyone who's trying to get these videos out for embargo is going to have less time to validate Nvidia's claims and b it's just [ __ ] disrespectful.”

NVIDIA likely intentionally limits reviewer access to lower-tier cards to manipulate the perception of the entire product series through confusion.

“I think they wanted the perception of the 5060 series to be set around the performance of the TI6 gig and then they could deliver the lower price of the other ones and hopefully keep those things separated from each other.”
