I'm looking to upgrade my GPU and am trying to decide between the RX 9060 XT and the RX 9070 non-XT. I usually play video games at 1080p but I'm planning to switch to 1440p soon. My current GPU is an RX 6650 XT, and I want to make a decision sometime soon. Any advice would be appreciated!

If budget's tight, the RX 9060 XT is solid for 1440p gaming. I've been using it for a month and haven’t had any issues playing at that resolution. However, if you can swing it, the 9070 will give you more performance for sure.
The 9060 XT gives about a 35% boost over your current GPU, while the 9070 can offer an 85% jump. I’d recommend spending the extra cash for the 9070 if you can manage it.
The RX 9070 is definitely the better option! It handles 1440p gaming like a champ. Just be mindful of your budget as the 9060 XT offers a decent performance at a lower price.
My budget is around 2800 Romanian LEI (about $638), and from what I see, the RX 9060 XT (Sapphire Pulse specifically) is cheaper where I live.
For the games I'm into, the 9060 XT should be good enough. I just worry that if I go for the 9070, it might bottleneck with my R5 7500F.
