Hey everyone! I'm planning to upgrade my GPU from an RTX 2060 6GB within the next few months. I've been eyeing the 9060 XT 16GB, but it's only about $50 cheaper than the 5060 Ti 16GB. I'm wondering if it makes sense to just go with the 5060 Ti instead. I'm also noticing some slight bottleneck issues, but I'm not ready to upgrade to AM5 just yet due to the current RAM prices being crazy. I mainly play Battlefield 6 and Minecraft, and I'm also looking forward to trying out Arc Raiders. I prioritize frame rates over graphic quality, unless the visuals are really outdated (like N64 level). I run everything at 1080p 144Hz. Here's my current setup: CPU - Ryzen 3700X, Cooling - Corsair Nautilus 240, RAM - Kingston Fury 32GB (2x16GB), Motherboard - Gigabyte B450M DS3H WiFi, and I'm planning on upgrading my PSU and case after the GPU upgrade. What do you guys think?

Just go for whichever GPU you want! Forget those calculator tools—they don't reflect real-world performance. Enjoy your gaming!
Both the 5060 Ti and 9060 XT are pretty comparable, but the 5060 Ti might give you an extra 5-10 fps in Battlefield 6. Your Ryzen 3700X should do well enough too, so I wouldn't stress about any bottlenecks.
I’d recommend stopping with those online bottleneck calculators! Your current CPU will handle either GPU just fine. If you're really worried about bottlenecks, consider upgrading the CPU eventually, but for now, both GPUs will give you a nice performance boost over the 2060.
