I'm planning to buy a new PC soon, and I'm interested in streaming, but I'm on a tight budget. I'm wondering if I should go for an AMD GPU. Can someone explain the main differences in streaming quality between options like the 5060 Ti, 9060 XT, and RX 7700 XT, aside from just my internet speed? Will I achieve similar quality with these different GPUs?

From what I've experienced, you won't really notice significant differences in streaming quality between AMD and NVIDIA if you're just starting out. I have a 7900GRE, but I also use a rig with a 4060 for its awesome NVIDIA Broadcast features. The background removal and vocal enhancement are pretty good with NVIDIA. That said, many streamers use AMD without any problems!
It really depends on your needs. If you’re not streaming professionally, you might not need the extra features NVIDIA offers. Sure, they have better software and encoding, but if you’re just trying to have fun and get started, focusing on price-to-performance is more important for you right now. If streaming becomes serious for you, you'll likely end up upgrading to a higher-tier GPU eventually.
Exactly! For casual streaming, AMD is definitely good enough, and you'll save some cash.
