Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for a new GPU that can handle 1080p gaming, and I've been eyeing the RX 9060 XT 8GB, which I can get for around €280. I'm not aiming for max settings or the latest AAA titles, just looking for a decent upgrade over my integrated graphics. However, the 16GB versions are priced starting at about €513, which feels excessive for my needs. I'd love to hear your thoughts on which manufacturer of the RX 9060 XT 8GB I should consider! Any recommendations?

In my opinion, just get the cheapest card available where you live! The performance differences between brands are minimal and usually just involve warranty details. Some triple fan models are quieter but at a higher price.
If the 8GB is truly holding back your speed, you might want to consider a used 8GB card that's cheaper. You're not looking for top results anyway, so it could be worth it in the long run.
Just out of curiosity, where are you shopping that the prices differ so much? It seems wild that the 5060 Ti 16GB could be cheaper than the 9060 XT 16GB!
Honestly, just go for the cheapest option that meets your size or aesthetic needs. All RX 9060 XT 8GB cards perform pretty similarly. If you're open to it, why not check out some secondhand cards too? They can be a great way to save money!
Have you considered saving up for a 16GB version? I think the 8GB might not cut it in a few years. Also, if possible, look into used GPUs; they could save you even more!
Yeah, I hear you! I might take a look at the used market.
