I'm currently using an AMD Radeon 5700 XT for gaming, but it really struggles with performance and often reduces graphics quality significantly. I've added some RAM, which helped, but I'm considering upgrading to an RX 9060 XT 16GB. Will this upgrade be sufficient for VR gaming? Also, if you have suggestions for other budget-friendly GPUs (around $300-$400), I'd love to hear them!

I couldn't find many VR benchmarks for the RX 9060 XT 16GB, but in some games, it shows more than double the performance compared to the 5700 XT. There are a couple of VR titles where it performs great, so it might be a solid choice!
The RX 9060 XT should work adequately for VR, but always check the compatibility with your specific VR headset. Also, it's a good idea to consider other options if you can save up a bit more for a better card!
Yes, you should be fine with the RX 9060 XT for VR! Just a tip: avoid using Air Link; it's not great. Consider using Virtual Desktop (it's paid) or Steam Link (free) instead. If you're on Linux, a combination of ALVR and WiVrn works well, but keep in mind ALVR doesn't support async spacewarp.
From what I know, Nvidia still tends to outperform AMD in VR. If possible, it might be worth waiting until you can afford something like the 5060 Ti 16GB, or even check out some used 40 series cards (like the 4060 Ti 16GB).
