I'm trying to decide between a few GPUs for my needs: the RTX 5060 for $370, the RTX 4060 for $360, the RX 9060 XT 16GB for $430, and the Intel Arc B580 for $270. My main focus is on AI and machine learning, but I also use AutoCAD, Solidworks, Ansys and enjoy some single-player gaming with ray tracing. Given these options and the price differences, what do you suggest? Is the RX 9060 XT really that much worse for ray tracing and productivity compared to the RTX 5060 Ti?

The RX 9060 XT 16GB is definitely the strongest performer, but check out some benchmarks for your specific use in AI and ML. You might find it doesn't always excel in those areas. It’s great for graphics, though!
If you can swing it, go for the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB. It's the best for productivity. But if you're on a tighter budget, the Intel Arc B580 is a solid choice too!
Yeah, but remember, the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB has some strong stats too. Benchmark comparisons can really help here.
