===Disingenious RTX 5070 marketing (''2025.''03.01 - Present)=== | |||
Nvidia on stage when introducing the RTX 5070 on stage, branded it as having the same performance as a RTX 4090 but for half the price. This disingenious marketing was disproven by multiple credible reviewers who showed that the 5070, even when using MFG 4x Frame Generation could not achieve parity with the 4090. | |||

Previews when compared to reviews are highly restricted on which benchmarks can be presented. Most often involving the presentation of cherry picked and biased benchmarks towards the latest model of GPU. Hence previews end up touting the same message as Nvidia's marketing. This practise was first implemented with the RTX 5070. <ref>{{Cite web |last=James |first=Dave |date=2025-03-01 |title=Nvidia RTX 5070 hands-on preview: a sneak peek at my unreleased RTX Blackwell card hitting triple digit frame rates in Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p and Avowed at 4K |url=https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/graphics-cards/nvidia-rtx-5070-hands-on-preview-a-sneak-peek-at-the-unreleased-rtx-blackwell-card-hitting-triple-digit-frame-rates-in-cyberpunk-2077-at-1440p-and-avowed-at-4k/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250803093257/https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/graphics-cards/nvidia-rtx-5070-hands-on-preview-a-sneak-peek-at-the-unreleased-rtx-blackwell-card-hitting-triple-digit-frame-rates-in-cyberpunk-2077-at-1440p-and-avowed-at-4k/ |archive-date=2025-08-03 |access-date=2025-08-03 |website=PC Gamer}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Guyton |first=Christian |date=2025-05-17 |title=I tested the RTX 5060 - is 8GB of VRAM really enough in 2025? |url=https://www.techradar.com/computing/gpu/i-tested-the-rtx-5060-is-8gb-of-vram-really-enough-in-2025 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250803100453/https://www.techradar.com/computing/gpu/i-tested-the-rtx-5060-is-8gb-of-vram-really-enough-in-2025 |archive-date=2025-08-03 |access-date=2025-08-03 |website=TechRadar}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Hayton |first=Phil |date=2025-05-17 |title=I spent my first few hours with the RTX 5060 playing Doom: The Dark Ages, and it feels pretty slick for under $300 |url=https://www.gamesradar.com/hardware/desktop-pc/i-spent-my-first-few-hours-with-the-rtx-5060-playing-doom-the-dark-ages-and-it-feels-pretty-slick-for-under-usd300/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250803100549/https://www.gamesradar.com/hardware/desktop-pc/i-spent-my-first-few-hours-with-the-rtx-5060-playing-doom-the-dark-ages-and-it-feels-pretty-slick-for-under-usd300/ |archive-date=2025-08-03 |access-date=2025-08-03 |website=GamesRadar+}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=England |first=Jason |date=2025-05-17 |title=I played 5 games on the RTX 5060 — is this budget GPU actually enough? |url=https://www.tomsguide.com/gaming/pc-gaming/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5060-first-impressions |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250803100745/https://www.tomsguide.com/gaming/pc-gaming/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5060-first-impressions |archive-date=2025-08-03 |access-date=2025-08-03 |website=Tom's Guide}}</ref> | ||
