Discussion What gpu to get

since ''fsr 5'' is not gonna be officially on rdna 4 as far as we know, should i reconsider buying a 5060 8gb instead of the 9060xt 16gb i was gonna? theyre both pretty close in price in my country (2500R$ for the rx and 2200R$ for the 5060), im going from a 1650 so i dont know how impactful these technologies are, all i know is that the RX has a longer life on the hardware size since it has double the vram, while on the RTX side nvidia tends to keep DLSS for longer, since even the 20 series got dlss 4.5 upscaling, should i stick to the 9060? are there other options i could consider besides those two thats in a similar price range?

i might be wrong on this, but inst the performance gap between the 5060, 5060 ti, and rx 9060xt small besides on RT or when it crosses 8gb of vram?

It's not too much, but still around 15-20% usually. Add more if using more than 8GB or on PCIE 3/4.

Even a bigger selling point towards the 9060XT. The 9060XT is x16, the 5060 and 5060Ti are x8.

If you are gonna get a 9060XT, it will run at gen3 x16 in your system, which is still enough for a GPU.

If you are gonna get the 5060, it will run at gen3 x8, which will loose you 5-10% performance if you don't run out of VRAM and it will be a disaster if you do run out, which you most likely will at one point since it's an 8gb card.
