I'm debating whether to get the RTX 5060 Ti or the RX 7700 XT, as they're both priced around $430 in my area, and I'm working with a total budget of $500 including tax. My current setup includes a Ryzen 5 7600X CPU and an 850-watt power supply. I'm planning to stick with whichever GPU I choose for the next couple of years, at least until I start my new job. Any advice on which GPU would pair better with my system?

I'd go for the RTX 5060 Ti, especially the 16GB version. It generally has better performance, especially with features like DLSS 4.0 for upscaling. Plus, it has more VRAM compared to the RX 7700 XT, which could be beneficial in the long run. It also tends to consume less power, leading to lower heat and noise levels. For the money, it just makes more sense than the 7700 XT, which I think is overpriced for what it offers.
But what if you're considering the 8GB version of the 5060 Ti? That could change things a bit.
Exactly! If it’s the 8GB model of the 5060 Ti, I’d suggest waiting a few weeks to see the performance on the RX 9060 XT 16GB before deciding.
