I'm trying to decide between the 9060 XT and the 7800 XT for my gaming rig. The 16GB version of the 9060 XT is priced at $490 CAD, while the cheapest version of the 7800 XT is going for $590 CAD, which is a $100 difference (around $71 USD). My gaming is mostly at 1440p, and I'm not looking to play any really demanding titles like Cyberpunk. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!

I'd definitely recommend going for the 9060 XT! The $100 CAD difference is worth considering, especially given the slight performance drop for features like FSR4 and ray tracing that most gamers don't prioritize anyway.
Honestly, the 7800 XT isn't worth the extra $71 over the 9060 XT. If anything, I'd argue that the 7800 XT should be priced lower than the 9060 XT 16GB. It's a solid option, but not worth that premium in your case.
According to Tech Power Up, the 7800 XT is about 18% faster, which might be worth the extra cost if you care about performance. However, I don't think features like FSR 4 or ray tracing are a big deal either, so it really depends on how much those performance gains matter to you.
