I'm trying to decide between the RTX 5060 with 8GB and the 5060 Ti with 16GB for my 3D modeling and VFX learning journey. I don't need to reach professional levels, but I'm wondering if the 8GB is sufficient for tasks like rendering, or if I should invest more in the 5060 Ti for better performance.

What are your thoughts on processors? Is the Ryzen 5 9600X a solid choice, or should I upgrade to something like the 7700X or 9700X for this kind of work?
Thanks a lot for the advice, everyone! It really helps to hear your thoughts.
Honestly, the 5060 Ti with 16GB is the way to go. Even if you're not using all the VRAM right away, you'll definitely notice a performance boost—about 15% better performance compared to the 5060.
For rendering specifically, 8GB VRAM is kind of pushing it. I'd definitely say go for the 5060 Ti with 16GB if you want to avoid any performance setbacks.
I wouldn't recommend settling for 8GB in 2025. Most serious 3D rendering tasks need at least 12GB VRAM, so the 5060 Ti with 16GB is a smart choice if you're serious about your learning.
