I'm planning to buy a new GPU soon and need some advice on what to pick. I've been using a GTX 1080 for about six years, but it's starting to show visual artifacts, so it's time for an upgrade. My current setup includes a Ryzen 5 3600 and 32GB of DDR4 3200MHz RAM, with a 650W power supply. I mainly play games like Escape from Tarkov, Battlefield 6, and some single-player titles like Dying Light.
Before making a choice, I've narrowed it down to the Nvidia 5060 Ti (16GB) and the Radeon RX 9060XT (16GB). My current PSU limits me to these options, and I'm aware I might need to upgrade my CPU in January to an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X. Considering my gaming preferences, which GPU would you recommend?

I was in the same boat with those two GPUs. I ended up going with the Nvidia 5060 Ti because while it's a bit pricier, I think it will offer better long-term reliability with features like DLSS. That said, both cards are solid. Given your setup, the difference between them really might not be huge, so just grab whichever one is cheaper right now!
Currently, the 5060 Ti costs around €450+, while the RX 9060XT is priced between €387-400. I also find the Nvidia software easier to use, but yeah, it definitely comes at a cost!
