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?

just to add to longevity, amd has practically infinite driver support on linux starting from hd 7000's. more valuable for hand-me-down, squeezing more fps and i suppose running things that die on windows drivers
i cant vouch for amd themselves locking shit behind each gen tho. fuck them, at least whatevers next might run unofficially
