I'm looking for advice on which GPU to pick between the 7800 XT and the 9060 XT for gaming at 1440p. I'm not planning to change my build for at least five years, so I want something that will last. Here's my setup: Ryzen 5 9600X, Deepcool AG400 cooler, B650 motherboard with Wi-Fi, 1TB Gen 4 SSD, 32GB DDR5 RAM at 6000Hz CL30, and an MSI A850GL 850W power supply in a Deepcool CH160 case. What do you think?

Definitely the 9060 XT, it offers a good balance for performance at 1440p.
It really depends on what you mainly play. If you're into esports like CS:GO, you might find the 7800 XT better due to its slightly improved rasterization. But if you're mostly into single-player games, I'd recommend the 9060 XT for its better features, especially with FSR 4 support!
The 9060 XT is comparable to the RX 6800 (non-XT) in rasterization, but it has some better features. The RX 7800 XT will perform better in pure raster, though it might lag behind in ray tracing and frame generation. Just weigh the raw performance against the FSR 4 benefits before you decide!
That’s the challenge for me—balancing raw performance with FSR 4 capabilities!
Why are those the only two options? Also, how much are you looking to spend on each?
I'm looking at around $430 for the 9060 XT and $510 for the 7800 XT. Nvidia cards are way overpriced right now.
I'd personally go for the 9060 XT. It's a solid choice overall and has some great features.
Thanks for the advice! I mostly play single-player games.
