I'm from Brazil and I'm considering two options for my new graphics card. I found an RX 9060 XT with 16GB for R$3700 (about $700), but I also came across an RTX 5060 with 8GB for R$2300 (around $435). The price difference is significant, especially when the RX offers double the VRAM. However, I'm unsure if it's worth spending that much more for the RX or if I should go with the RTX instead. Any advice would be appreciated!

Honestly, R$3700 for the RX 9060 XT does seem a bit steep. I scored mine for around $400. You might be paying too much there. Just make sure to think about the games you want to play and at what resolution. For 1080p, the RTX 5060 will work quite well.
It's tough out there with prices, but I recommend prioritizing a card with higher VRAM if you can afford it. Even if the RX 9060 XT is pricier, it might be more future-proof. If the 5060 is your only option, just remember to then look for deals on slightly older models too; sometimes better cards can be found at lower prices.
If you're on a tight budget, I'd say stick with the RTX 5060, especially since it's cheaper and should perform fine for 1080p gaming. But if you can stretch your budget a bit, the RX 9060 XT is a better long-term investment as it’ll last longer and handle more demanding games. Also, consider other options like the Arc B580, which might offer good value without breaking the bank.
Given the prices you're facing, it looks like you’re paying heavily for VRAM. If you're just gaming at 1080p, the RTX 5060 should be more than enough. I'd personally avoid spending too much on the RX if it's just for 8GB of extra RAM when the price discrepancy is so high.
