I've been looking around for advice on which GPU would be the best fit for my gaming needs. I'm trying to stick to a tight budget while aiming for 100+ FPS at 1440p, especially for AAA titles and competitive shooters like Apex and Valorant. I'm new to this, so if my expectations are too high, please let me know. Ultimately, I want to hear your thoughts on which card would suit me best and if spending a bit more is worth it.

I recently bought the 5060Ti with 16GB of VRAM and it's been fantastic! I had both the 9060XT and the 5060Ti in my cart, but when the prices evened out, I went for the 5060Ti. It runs beautifully in games like Crimson Desert and Cyberpunk 2077 at max settings, especially using DLSS. Since you're aiming for 1440p, I'd recommend not going for anything with 8GB of VRAM, as the extra headroom helps. If the price difference is only about $100 more for the 5060Ti, I'd say go for it!
Awesome, I'm finding prices are just around $40 apart, so I think I’ll pull the trigger on the 5060Ti. But I’ve heard mixed things about it being a "bad card"—is that just because people are comparing it to higher-end models like the 5090?
