I recently upgraded my monitor from a basic 1080p to a 1440p 144Hz setup and I've noticed that my current 2070 Super is struggling to keep up. I'm looking for suggestions on what GPU to upgrade to. I've heard good things about the 7600 XT, but a friend recommended the 5060 as an option too. They're both about the same price, and I've seen user benchmarks indicating that the 5060 outperforms the 7600 XT. I'm hoping to find a good option that doesn't break the bank and works well for gaming at 1440p.

Is your budget in USD or CAD? If you're shopping in CAD, I'd suggest considering the 9060 XT too, as I've seen it priced similarly to the 7600 XT. In your case, the performance of the 9060 XT might even rival the 5060 Ti, so it could be worth looking into!
First off, avoid userbenchmark; they tend to have a bias against AMD. It’s really crucial to think about your gaming needs and budget. What games do you play? Are you familiar with game-specific benchmarks? For 1440p, I recommend GPUs with at least 12GB of VRAM. The 9060 XT is a solid choice; it’s almost on par with the 5060 Ti and outperforms both the 5060 and 7600 XT. Just keep in mind the pricing—aim for the 16GB version for optimal performance!
I'm looking in CAD! Good to know about the pricing on the 9060 and 5060, they seem really close.
