I recently built a new PC and I'm a bit lost when it comes to choosing the right graphics card. I came across the 20GB 7900xt priced at $520, but I've also been recommended the 16GB 9070 at $600 and the 9070 xt for $750. I saw the 16GB 9060 xt for $370 and the 5060 ti for $400. Are the 9060 xt or 5060 ti solid choices, or would it be worth spending more on the 9070 or 9070 xt? I typically play games like Call of Duty, racing games, flight simulators, Battlefield, sports titles, and a few other random games.

Look at the benchmarks before deciding. The higher the benchmark scores, the better the performance you can expect! That really makes all the difference.
If you're close to a Micro Center, you might catch the 9070 xt for around $650, so definitely check that out if you're leaning toward it!
Honestly, the 9060xt 16GB should serve you well for most games. It's pretty comparable to the 7900xt in raster performance, but keep in mind it does use less power and isn't as strong for ray tracing.
That's good to know! I was worried about power consumption with higher-end cards.
The 9070 is a great choice; it strikes a nice balance between the 60ti/60xt series and the 9070xt. If you can snag a 5070 for $70 less than the 9070, that’s also worth considering!
Go for the 9070XT! From my experience, I've got a 24GB 7900XTX, and I always find the 9070XT delivers great performance too. You won't regret it!
Exactly! Just make sure to compare benchmarks for the specific games you plan to play.
