AMD RX 9060 XT Vs NVIDIA RTX 5060 – 30 Games Benchmarked @ 1080p, 1440p & 4K
We all want the very best GPU on the market: the top-tier cards that smash every benchmark and run games at ludicrous frame rates. But realistically, for most gamers out there, that’s just not where the focus needs to be. A lot of you need to focus on the more mainstream end of the market, where performance, features, and crucially, price, all need to balance out.
AMD RX 9060 XT Vs NVIDIA RTX 5060
That’s exactly why today is all about a head-to-head battle in that sweet spot of the graphics card market. We’ve got AMD‘s brand-new Radeon RX 9060 XT squaring off against NVIDIA‘s fresh-out-the-box GeForce RTX 5060. Now, the 9060 XT rocks up with a hefty 16GB of VRAM, which on paper, should give it a decent edge, especially as games get more demanding and chew through memory like there’s no tomorrow. But, and this is the crucial part, that extra VRAM and potentially better specifications come with a higher price tag than the RTX 5060.
A Worthy Investment?
So, the burning question we’re here to answer today is pretty simple: does that extra cost for the AMD card actually translate into enough of a performance lead to make it worth your hard-earned cash? Or, will the RTX 5060, possibly coming in at a more attractive price point, deliver the same or even better gaming performance, proving you don’t always need more VRAM to win? Well, that’s what we’re going to find out.
