I'm trying to decide between the 9060 XT that costs $350 and the 5060 Ti priced at $370. I'm looking for advice on which card is a better value based on these price points and their performance.

Definitely go for the 5060 Ti if it has 16GB. It generally offers better performance, typically 10-20% more compared to the 9060 XT, plus it supports DLSS 4 which is great for gaming. The slight extra delay for multi-frame generation is negligible if you're mostly playing single-player games.
If you're getting the 5060 Ti with 16GB for around the same price as the 9060 XT, I’d say go for it! They have similar performance, but the 5060 Ti might edge out the 9060 XT in games. If ray tracing isn't your thing, then you can stick with the 9060 XT though. Also, keep an eye on the Redstone FSR update coming out on December 10—it might influence your decision.
Here's my take: If your budget is tight and $350 is your max, the 9060 XT is a solid choice. It has comparable gaming power and 16GB VRAM, which is great for future-proofing. However, if ray tracing and Nvidia's latest features matter to you, the 5060 Ti is worth the extra $20. Think about how much value you place on those extra features and long-term use.
Yeah, I can see the value in sticking with the 9060 XT if VRAM is important for future games.
