I'm trying to decide between the RTX 5070 with dual fans and 12 GB of memory versus the RX 9060 with triple fans and 16 GB. My budget is tight, and I'm mainly looking to play Counter-Strike at high FPS while also enjoying some AAA games in 1080p or 1440p. Which one do you think is a better choice and why?

Honestly, the RTX 5070 is faster overall. While the three fans on the 9060 might look fancy, they don’t actually improve performance. If you're after better long-term usage, the 5070 is worth the investment.
It really depends on the prices you're looking at. If the RTX 5070 is less than $100 more than the RX 9060, go for the 5070. If the price difference is over that, the 9060 is still a solid option.
Yeah, I heard fans don't affect performance much, but I still think having more VRAM on the 9060 could be a plus.
