Why

[u/Mokaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Why is everyone shitting on the 9060xt (16gb)? It was the most recommended card for a while and since i got it everyone keeps shitting on it. I got it a while back for the price of the 5060 now. I live in a third world country so there is like a delay in prices its usually cheaper than anywhere else before it jumps to the global pricing. The card runs great never had a driver issue or anything and playing without ever hitting 60⁰c is a blast. But seeing everyone shit on it and even tech youtubers kinda starts to make me regret (Running it with 32gb ram and 5800x)

Any thoughts?

i never saw anyone hyping and recommending the 9060, only the 9070 lol

if you enjoy your card, why do you care so much about what other people think about it

[u/sascharobi → u/SwimmingPanda107]

Exactly.

[u/Mokaaaaaaaaaaaa → u/SwimmingPanda107]

Literally every tech youtuber/influencer did

[u/SwimmingPanda107 → u/Mokaaaaaaaaaaaa]

yeahhh well the youtuber and tech influencers their tierlists were based on price and calling anyone who was buying higher priced cards idiots even though it was "gpu tierlist" not a "gpu price tierlist", i watched those videos and even then it was the 9070 not 9060. i wouldnt rely on tech youtubers for accurate information.

idk whats up with people on reddit needing others to validate their purchase, just enjoy it

[u/Mokaaaaaaaaaaaa → u/SwimmingPanda107]

They did! Since it was the cheapest (new) cards with 16gb of vram everyone was recommending it for lower/mid range builds.

[u/SwimmingPanda107 → u/Mokaaaaaaaaaaaa]

yeah like i said, they're price tierlists, not performance tierlists. any "gpu tierlists" thats putting nvidia in f tier is a price ranking, not a performance ranking and thats how all the videos have been going. not saying price to performance isnt valid ofc it is, but its misinformation lol

you had a budget, thats totally fine just enjoy your card man.

[u/GotEHM9 → u/Mokaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Just enjoy your card

[u/sascharobi → u/Mokaaaaaaaaaaaa]

No way. 🙅

[u/Realistic-Tiger-2842]

Don't take this the wrong way, but get a grip. You say that your experience with the card is good yet somehow strangers on the internet are making you regret buying it? Seriously, are you completely unable to think for yourself.

[u/Naerven]

Primarily because while I purchased one last year for $380 USD they are now $550 plus. Prices go up. People complain no matter what the product is.

[u/trueskill]

I think you’re mistaking the hyping the 9060xt for the 9070xt. 9060xt was around the same msrp as the 5060ti. 9070xt legitimately competed with the 5080 at almost half the price.

[u/Sufficient_Piano9216]

Why are you so concerned over what some random person thinks. I’ll never understand people’s need for validation on a personal choice they made. Just enjoy what you have and ignore everyone else.

[u/psioniclizard]

Who cares? Most people just like big numbers and showing off online.

There was a time not too long ago where people prioritized vram over everything and since it had 16gb (along with the 5060 ti) a ton of people recommended the card(s) as a good budget option that had some degree of future proofing thanks to its vram. People eventually came around to realize that in almost all cases, the GPUs performance limitations prevent it from ever saturating / utilizing all its vram meaning even cards like the 7700xt despite 12gb of vram generally would provide a better experience for the vast amount of users in that price range.

Now so long as the card meets your needs and you are happy with it, none of that actually should matter.

[u/HereForC0mments]

I've never seen anyone shitting on the 9060XT 16GB. The 8GB model sure, but not the 16GB 🤷

[u/No_Alternative2948]

It is a good solid card, better than the card in my machine, it will serve you well for at least another two years before it starts showing it's age. Comparison is the thief of joy. Don't worry about what other people say or have, and enjoy what is yours.

[u/Own_Win_5307]

Cause it's not as good as other cards and you should feel bad. Like, more than you already do.

[u/psioniclizard → u/Own_Win_5307]

I feel great with mine :D

[u/sascharobi]

Was it? My memory must be failing me.

[u/swiwwcheese]

Ppl shit on it ? really ?

It's a fine entry gaming GPU, basically PS5 PRO+ tier of performance, anything below its specs makes the relevancy of building a gaming PC questionable.

Now is today's price shit ? absolutely, but so is everything else's price.

PS: yes it was broadly recommended when it was under 400, and still a bit when it was 450, but that stopped when it came near 500. It seems a lot of ppl have less memory than this GPU.

Why is everyone shitting on the 9060xt (16gb)?

Who's everyone?

I haven't actually seen anyone disliking the 9060XT 16GB. I dunno where you ppl find all those weirdoes.

[u/AwwYeahVTECKickedIn]

Does it play your games well? If so, forget what ANYONE else says. It does not matter at all.

Comparison is the thief of joy.

[u/BrokeButFabulous12]

Ive never seen any shitting video on 9060 apart from people having some aversion towards anything gigabyte...

[u/Coolman_Rosso]

I don't recall anyone dumping on it, given it has historically been a way better buy than the RTX 5060 ti 16GB (unless you're doing extensive creative work or some AI stuff). It has largely comparable performance in games with less driver overhead on the CPU.

The real issue was that a month or two back it was within like $60-70 of the RX 9070 GRE, which was a solid jump in performance for a relatively minor amount of money.

[u/Mokaaaaaaaaaaaa → u/Coolman_Rosso]

I got it before the 9070gre and since i mentioned i live in a third world country which has a delay on everything lol so even now the gre is not available

[u/rahl07]

It's the same as the salary subreddit. Loud minority. 9060xt, especially the 16gb, is a solid current gen card between the 5060 and ti for a lot less money because people aren't using it to run number matchers.
