I'm a graphic designer and 3D artist, currently using a Ryzen 5 8600G with 32GB of RAM. I was initially planning to buy an RTX 5060 with 16GB of VRAM, but prices have significantly increased. Now, I'm considering the RX 9060 XT, which is said to compete with the RTX 5060 Ti. However, I'm unsure if the RX 9060 XT is suitable for 3D work. There's a noticeable price difference between the two options. I also thought about the RTX 5060, but I wonder if the 8GB of VRAM would be sufficient for my 3D projects.

It really depends on the application you're using. Blender runs much faster with NVIDIA cards, but in other software, the 9060 XT might actually hold its own with 16GB of VRAM. Just a heads up!
Don’t be misled; the 5060 Ti is generally better. The 9060 XT is great for value, but if you’re serious about your 3D work, I’d lean towards NVIDIA.
NVIDIA all the way!
NVIDIA is the way to go for your work. But about the 8GB VRAM—well, it really depends on what type of 3D work you're doing. 3D can mean a lot of things! What kind of software are you using?
I primarily use Blender.
For 3D modeling, I’d definitely recommend the RTX 5060 Ti with 16GB of VRAM. Trust me, the AMD card might not cut it for your needs. I’ve got a 7900 XTX, and I still feel the pain of not going NVIDIA. If 3D is your gig, it’s worth it to invest in a used NVIDIA card if you can find one.
Yeah, I’m focusing a lot on 3D modeling and animation.
I would absolutely recommend the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB. NVIDIA is really reliable for 3D work and animation. You won’t regret it!
Thanks a lot! I've decided to go with the RTX 5060 Ti.
That's the issue—I'm mostly working in Blender.
