I'm deciding between the MSI NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti (16GB) and the XFX AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT (16GB). Both are the best deals I've found in my country, priced at €464.90 for the 5060 Ti and €499.90 for the 7800 XT. Given these prices, which one would you recommend and why?

If you're just looking for value, the 5060 Ti offers modern features that are impressive. The performance difference isn't huge for most games, so it might not be worth the extra cash for the 7800 XT.
The RX 7800 XT usually outperforms the 5060 Ti in gaming, but it runs hotter and consumes more power. If you're focused solely on gaming without needing features like ray tracing, I'd say go for the 7800 XT. However, if you're looking for a card with better all-around performance, especially for productivity tasks like video editing or 3D modeling, the 5060 Ti is the better choice. Just a heads up, recent Nvidia drivers haven't been the best, so keep that in mind.
I've had great experience with the RX 7800 XT, especially for older games. Just remember, future games that rely heavily on ray tracing might hit the 7800 XT harder, while Nvidia's DLSS could be more effective. Really depends on what kind of games you play!
Honestly, I'd lean towards the 5060 Ti. While the 7800 XT has more raw performance, the features and better efficiency of the Nvidia card make it a worthwhile option. If you're in a hurry, it might be smart to take advantage of a good deal now instead of waiting for newer models.
