Hardware Unboxed, one of the biggest and most trusted reviewers, have warned gamers against buying the RTX 5060 at launch. The harsh criticism stems from Nvidia's attempt at controlling the narrative surrounding the RTX 5060 previews.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Don-t-buy-the-RTX-5060-yet-Hardware-Unboxed-slams-Nvidia-for-controlling-early-coverage.1019399.0.html
GN and Kit Guru and Paul's Hardware have also released Videos.
Yeah, people should listen to a STRANGER that SUPPOSEDLY care about our purchasing decisions, huh... or... just a so-called PRIVILEGED outlet(s) that feels ENTITLED to be first, in ALL hardware announces, due to their viewers numbers, ect.?! 🤔

So... my opinion on Nvidia as to withholding drivers, short review deadlines and directing reviews along its own PR agenda is harsher than that of Gamers Nexus, Hardware Unboxed, Kit Guru and Paul's Hardware: Nvidia has also used similar consumer-unfriendly practices during previous releases. Nvidia's behaviour not only prevents my RTX 5000 purchase but also increases the likelihood of delaying upgrading during future card generations. Needless to say, the melting issues etc. are even more relevant for my decision.
nVidia making it easier to decide to jump ship to AMD.
Shame that AMD is not taking fully advantage of it. They could surely get great momentum out of it.

Exactly! That's YOUR decision after YOU'VE vetted YOUR findings from YOUR collection of feedback from... EVERYWHERE!
YOU were not BRAINWASHED by the likes of GN, TPU, ect. to manipulate/FORCE YOUR decision.
It's YOUR honest and TRUE decision from YOUR findings, positive or negative... not from just the silly ENTITLED social influencers!
