I'm trying to decide between the Asus Prime 5060 Ti, which costs around $570, and the Zotac 5060 Ti, priced at about $454. Both options have 16GB of VRAM, so I'm wondering which one offers the best value for my money. I also considered the 9060 XT with 16GB of VRAM, which I can get for $410 in my area. Any advice on what to pick?

If you're only spending $24 more for the Asus 5060 Ti, it might be worth it for the slight performance boost and Nvidia features. Just think about whether those extra frames in games like Cyberpunk are important to you.
I have the Zotac Twin Edge, which is supposed to be the reference card, and honestly, I'm impressed with how well it performs. So, I'd recommend the Zotac—it's a solid choice!
That's good to hear! I was worried about the quality of cheaper brands.
If both cards have 16GB of VRAM, I would go with the cheaper Zotac option. The chips inside are essentially the same and the main differences come down to minor cooling and overclocking capabilities, which you can manage on your own. Plus, saving some cash is always nice!
Honestly, I would lean towards the Zotac. The performance difference between the various manufacturers is minimal, and the 9060 XT's price is tempting, but for just a bit more, Zotac seems like the best value. Just make sure you clarify the Zotac's price—whether it's $434 or $454 could change things!
Yeah, I guess those extra frames can make a difference in gaming!
