GPU help: 5060ti or 9060xt

[Complex]

Hi,
I have analysis paralysis and need a bit of help. I initially thought I'd get the 5060ti 16gb, but have since been advised to go for the 9060xt 16gb to save a bit of money. But I'm starting to overthink the whole situation and I'm stuck.

I'm not a massive AAA gamer, more of a casual gamer, not looking to squeeze every fps out of the card etc.

Looking at the prices today its only 40quid difference, though this was 80 the other day.

TIA

Performance wise they're pretty close, the 5060ti will edge the 9060XT out more often than not.

That said, DLSS is a superior upscaler to FSR, while FSR4 has come a long way it still has limited support. You'll also get better RT with Nvidia, although with this tier of card I'd not overly factor that into the buying decision.

If it were me? I'd pony up another £40 just for DLSS, but frankly either one will be fine.

Also worth noting that if you go for the cheapest 5060ti 16gb on OCUK you'll get 5 year UK based warranty if you register with Zotac within 30 days:
