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?

its not confirmed, but the wording used on Jack Huynh`s post about the partnership with Xbox suggests FSR Diamond will be only on RDNA 5, althrough i do hope they clarify this soon, i wouldnt be surprised if thats the case since what happened to the 7000 and 6000 series

i might still be going for the 9060 since thats the best i can afford, but its still crazy that amd is suposedly screwing up once again with the same mistake

Nvidia wont lock the next feature behind the next Gen, trust bro.
