Hey! If you're planning to game at 1440p, the 9060XT 16GB might be a better GPU option if you can find it at a similar price to the 7700 XT. It's generally considered better for that resolution.
Thanks for the tip! I actually picked the 7700 XT because I thought it’d be easier to upgrade later. Do you think the 9060 XT would limit that upgrade path?
