The RTX 5060 looks to be the long-awaited release at this point, presenting a big brawn touting to its buyers. An official tweet from NVIDIA gave the card a little tease: “Your Favorite Games. 100+ Frames.” Immediately, gamers were awed with excitement. Sitting above the waters will be an Aorus GeForce RTX 5060 GAMING OC with WINDFORCE cooling, Hawk fan design, RGB lighting, and Dual BIOS. There shall, of course, be a giveaway.

But, really, the actual drama is nowhere in the specifications but rather in the frames, or perhaps fake frames? The replies to NVIDIA’s tweet have become such a battleground of hype, doubts, and plain chaos! Some are fantasizing about ditching their ancient GPUs (looking at you, DonutCrown, pleading to set their “580 Sapphire out of its misery”). Others considered the whole thing a farce, accusing the corporation of pushing “fake frames full of artifacts” that would in reality feel like “25 fps.”

Opinions on Multi Frame Generation (MFG) have been hotly contested. Mable🎶🎰🔌 stepped in with a comment that if you think 80fps without MFG is better than 65fps with MFG pushing “fake” 210fps, you just haven’t seen it on a 240Hz monitor. delis2142 called out the elephant in the room instead: that at least most of those “100+ frames” aren’t real, just some AI-generated fluff.

You see, not everyone likes to escala-halal the glomy fight. Some want to cuddle beneath the glow. Bhernard Bhe Escala jokingly whispered, “May the force of the Wind be in your favor,” while Kc Ahri Kayn went full on begging (“#GeForceRTX5060 I beg”). Netherspark was contentedly happy: “Still a significant upgrade for me.”

Of course, if the obligatory “why are older cards abandoned” lament is left out, no reveal is considered complete. ANdll2 slammed NVIDIA, asking if they’re still optimizing drivers for the RTX 20/40 series or if they slipped onto something else sparkly and new. Seng gave the card a roasting, proclaiming, “Only 8GB of VRAM,” which, honestly, feels a bit raw for 2024.

So, what did the squad agree on? It says much on paper that the RTX 5060 should be a beast, but the gamers seem to be in two camps. Some suspiciously see this as the biggest actual step forward, while the others jeer at it as a complete marketing mirage. Let’s get the hype train rolling anyhow, with NVIDIA having gamers furiously typing #GeForceRTX5060 as if their lives depended on it.

Will it actually slide in gameplay with smooth buttery hands, or will it just be empty hollow AI-generated placebo frames? Well, only time and a lengthy review will be able to attest to that. But one thing is for sure: The PC gaming community certainly does not lack vocal opinions. Perhaps that giveaway winner could take those opinions away from obscurity.

Until then, happy smiles at high frames and low temps. Or, yeah, fake it till you make it.
