I'm new to building PCs and have most of my components selected, but I'm stuck on which graphics card to get. I'm torn between the 5060 TI and the 9060 XT, both with 16 GB of VRAM. There's only about a $20 difference between the two where I live, and I've come across mixed opinions online. Any recommendations?

With just a $20 difference, I'd recommend going for the 5060 TI with 16 GB. It's a solid choice!
Go with the 5060 TI. While I'm glad to see AMD making good GPUs again and the 9060 XT is decent, it's slower than the 5060. Plus, FSR can't match DLSS, and CUDA is still a big plus for NVIDIA. Stick with team green this time around!
Thank you for the advice!
I suggest the 5060 TI, mainly because their drivers seem to be more reliable, and many games take advantage of NVIDIA features like DLSS and frame generation. AMD has its own features, but I feel NVIDIA's are generally better quality.
I'll keep that in mind, thank you!
Just to chime in, a lot of that perception comes from past issues with AMD's RX 5000 series. Nowadays, their drivers are much better, especially on Linux where AMD tends to outperform NVIDIA.
Thanks for the tip!
