I'm looking to upgrade from my old GTX 980 and am torn between getting the 9060XT 16GB or the 7800XT. I have an i7 12700K, so I want to maximize performance. Which GPU should I go for?

I've got a 7800XT and honestly, it usually outperforms the 9060XT. The FSR 4 features on the 9060XT are definitely appealing, but I think the 7800XT is the better choice overall—especially for the price. You can't really go wrong with either, though!
I recently looked into the RTX 5070, which I hear outperforms the 7800XT slightly. Have you considered going with Nvidia instead? They have solid options too!
If you're just looking at raw performance, the 7800XT is about 22% faster at 1440p. But if ray tracing and upscaling tech are more your thing, the 9060XT might be the way to go. It really depends on what you prioritize!
Consider the price! Both GPUs offer great value, but the 7800XT is faster at 18% more performance. The 9060XT's FSR 4 could be a game-changer for some, though—so it's really up to what features you value more.

Thanks for the input! I'll keep that in mind.
