I'm planning to upgrade my GPU from a 2060 Ti, and I'm originally considering a 4060 Ti since I know it works well with my AMD Ryzen 7 3700X CPU and my 750W power supply. However, I've recently noticed that the 5060 Ti is only a little bit more expensive than the 4060 Ti. Given that I mainly game in 1080p and don't need high resolutions, should I go for the 5060 Ti instead, or is it better to stick with the 4060 Ti using my current setup?

If the prices of the 4060 Ti and 5060 Ti are close, I'd say go for the 5060 Ti. There's not much reason to pick the 4060 unless there are specific games you're worried about that might require 32-bit PhysX. Otherwise, you'll benefit more from the newer card!
How much more are we talking about with the price? Your 750W power supply can handle either card, but keep in mind your Ryzen 7 3700X may cause some bottlenecking with demanding games. Depending on the price difference, it might be wise to consider a 3060 Ti instead if you want to save some cash.
Definitely look at the 5060 Ti with 16GB if you're leaning towards that route. It should give you a better experience overall for your 1080p gaming.
Make sure you're comparing the same specs! Both the 4060 and 5060 have versions with 8GB and 16GB, so check what you're getting in terms of memory before making a decision!
I agree, it really boils down to the price. If the price gap isn't huge, the 5060 Ti is likely a better investment long-term.
