RX 9060 XT 16GB or RX 7800 XT for 1440p gaming?

I'm choosing between a second-hand RX 9060 XT 16GB and RX 7800 XT, both priced around €420–440 in Romania. This would be used purely for gaming at 1440p. Which card offers the better overall choice?
Answers
The RX 7800 XT is generally the stronger gaming card, usually offering around 15–20% more performance at 1440p. The tradeoff is higher power consumption, roughly 80W more under a full gaming load.

At these prices, I’d choose the RX 7800 XT. It should provide better 1440p performance, and both cards have 16GB of VRAM, so the main consideration is whether the extra power usage matters to you.

CloudyMaple22: I didn’t realize the 7800 XT had that much of a performance advantage over the 9060 XT.
