I'm putting together my first PC build with an R5 9600X processor, and I'm deciding between the RX 9060 XT and the RTX 5060 Ti, both with 16GB memory. I plan to game at 1440p, and I've found some options in my area. The RTX 5060 Ti is priced around €529 to €628, while the RX 9060 XT options are around €461 to €574. They have similar specifications, but I want to know which one delivers better value, particularly since I'm not experienced with GPUs. I'm curious about features like DLSS and overall performance. Any advice would be appreciated!

If you're okay with tweaking settings and using Adrenaline to get more out of the 9060 XT, I say go for it. But if you want hassle-free gaming, definitely stick with the 5060 Ti—it's more plug-and-play. It really depends on how much fine-tuning you want to do; Nvidia's interface keeps things simple and relevant for longer.
If the pricing is close, I'd recommend the 5060 Ti. But if the RX 9060 XT is significantly cheaper, like $100 or more, go for that. Nvidia cards typically have better performance in general gaming and are easier to set up, especially for beginners.
I think for my first build, I might prefer the simpler option. But who knows? I might enjoy the tinkering!
