I'm a first-time PC builder looking for advice on which GPU to choose for my new setup that features a Ryzen 7 9700X. I'm considering a few options: there's a 5060 Ti with 16 GB priced at around $830, but I've also found an AMD 9060 XT with 16 GB for $650, and a 9070 XT with 16 GB for $1,000. I'm especially interested in how these cards perform in Blender, as I will be using it a lot. Any thoughts on whether the price difference is worth it?

I’d go for the 9060 XT, especially for the price difference. It performs similarly to the 5060 Ti but at a much lower cost. That said, if Blender performance is your main priority, you may want to consider other options.
For the money, the 9070 XT seems like the best choice. It has performance comparable to a 5070 Ti but is significantly cheaper. Just be cautious with Blender since it doesn't shine on AMD GPUs. Worth investigating further!

Thanks for the input! I'll definitely consider that. I really appreciate the advice!
