Hey folks! I'm currently running a 6600XT with a 5600 CPU and 32GB of DDR4 RAM. I'm looking to upgrade my GPU to take advantage of the Christmas sales, aiming for a better experience at 1440p. Right now, I'm considering the ASRock 9060XT with 16GB for about $427 or the Palit 5060 Ti with 16GB for around $467. Which one do you think would be the better choice? Or should I explore any used options?

If you're using Windows, I'd suggest going for the 5060 Ti since it's only $40 more. While both cards are similar in performance, Nvidia has the upper hand in Ray Tracing and DLSS, plus it has CUDA cores which can be handy for local models and 3D rendering.
I've seen some comparisons, and it feels like the Ray Tracing performance is quite close between the two. Plus, with DLSS and FSR Redstone now nearly on par, I'd call it a tough decision. My concern, though, is that the 5060 Ti isn't as good as other models versus a top-tier 9060XT.
