I'm looking to upgrade my GPU and could use some help deciding between the AMD RX 9060 XT and the Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 16GB. My motherboard supports PCI 4.0 x16, while the AMD card utilizes 5.0 x16 and the Nvidia one is at 5.0 x8, so I'm curious if that will impact performance for either option. I'm mainly getting this GPU for gaming, but I'm also studying 3D modeling with Blender and would like to get into game development. Should I lean towards Nvidia for future-proofing my 3D work?

The RX 9060 XT works for 3D modeling, but it won't match the performance of the 5060 Ti. It is cheaper by about $150-200, and for gaming, the performance difference is minor. If you need the extra power in Blender, though, it might be worth spending a little more for the 5060 Ti.
The RTX 5060 Ti is definitely the way to go here. The difference in bandwidth isn't really noticeable, especially with the 16GB version. You'll likely get better performance overall, especially for your 3D modeling needs.
It really depends on what you do. The 5060 Ti generally performs better. Also, consider whether your work benefits from CUDA acceleration, especially in programs like SolidWorks.
I’m happy with my RX 9060 XT; it’s a solid value for my needs. But in your situation, I suggest spending a bit more for the 5060 Ti for better performance in 3D modeling and video work.
