5060Ti 16GB vs. 9060Xt 16GB
Posted by Martin_L_King@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 49 comments
I'm looking into buying a used GPU and I'm wondering what is a better choice. 5060 is priced at 2000pln(550usd) and 9060 is priced at 1600pln(440usd). My MOBO uses PCI express 3.0 but I heard that it's a non much of an issue. Help me choose.

9060 XT. It's cheaper, has more PCIe lanes, and performs just as good in games.
CooperDK@reddit
But not in AI. And probably not in games over time. Which is why it is cheaper 😉
Mr-HazMat@reddit
not having good ai performance is just another pro though tbh, that isnt a con
diejesus@reddit
How is it a pro??
Mr-HazMat@reddit
why would you want ai generating your frames? just absolutely stupid.
Imgema@reddit
Having more frames on a high refresh monitor makes the motion sharper, reducing the motion blur all modern monitors and TVs have.
Even at 60fps, the motion blur is very distracting to me, i need at least 100fps for a reasonably sharp motion and frame generation has made it possible in newer, more demanding games games.
plura15D@reddit
Frame generation is pointless in games that require fast reflexes like shooters and racing games.
And if I play something where it doesn't matter, it might as well be 30 FPS with loads of motion blur.
Imgema@reddit
Yes, you are not gaining better latency but if you can keep your base frame rate at 60fps, you are not loosing much either. The only difference is the better motion clarity at 120fps which is more than worth it for me. I can't go back to regular 60fps, it looks too blurry compared to a crt.
plura15D@reddit
I'd rather have lower latency TBH. I've gamed my whole life on 60 FPS or less and having double that with fake frames won't improve it.
I don't remember CRTs being not blurry, but then again, it's a very long time since I've used one.
Imgema@reddit
I'm trying to say frame generation doesn't take away anything (as long as your base FPS is 60+), it only gives you better motion clarity (and smoothness). If you want better latency you need more real frames (by reducing resolution or details) but you can still use FR on top of that for even better clarity. You are not losing anything.
CRTs are WAY sharper than modern panels in motion. Google "sample and hold blur". To reach perfect motion clarity similar to a 60hz CRT, without some sort of strobbing tech, you need 300fps/hz or more.
plura15D@reddit
Well, it does increase input latency and it also comes at a performance cost, so you will have less real frames if you turn it on. Not what I'd call "You are not losing anything".
So yes, I'd prefer not using it in games where reaction time is important.
TsukikoLifebringer@reddit
Isn't that like one of 10 different uses for AI? Even if you think this one is dumb, there's so many others.
diejesus@reddit
To get more frames? I mean for me it doesn't matter, I can't even distinguish 30 and 60 fps, but for those people who care about fps it matters. But it's not only about that, it's also about being able running local AI models better, not only about framegen in games.
Mr-HazMat@reddit
if you want to do a lot of workstation things, buy a gpu thats better suited for workstation use, but the difference between 30 and 60fps is quite noticeable

AMD tends to age better than Nvidia.
Scarabesque@reddit
Last few gens AMD's mostly aged better due to them being more generous with VRAM in prior gens.
I'm extremely happy with my 6800XT purchase, which tested about as well against a 3080 on release as it does now - it just has 16 rather than 10GB of VRAM.
3080 does support the latest DLSS, but the 6800XT is not officially compatible with AMD's latest upscaling tech.
NVidia also has a better longevity track record with regard to driver support.
f0xpant5@reddit
RDNA onwards thoroughly disagrees. Ageing like milk.
BeatitLikeitowesMe@reddit
Dlss tends to disagree. So does ray tracing, ray reconstruction, and path tracing. All of which are significantly worse on amd cards.
Mels_101@reddit
Hows fsr3 treating you?
stevesalive@reddit
5060 Ti. No Brainer.
Better upscaling tech while FSR4 is playing catchup with DLSS their best upscaling is close to DLSS 4 and is a little blurrier than DLSS 4.0
Nvidia Frame Gen 2x >> AMD Frame Gen
FSR4 has only supported under 100 games while DLSS is almost always included with latest title release while it boasts hundreds of supported titles. AMD has none of that and most AMD users rely on Optiscaler (a mod) and that still runs with a lot of incompatibility.
NVIDIA Drivers are far superior than AMD and more compatible, this is simply the truth.
Encoding NVIDIA trumps over AMD, and AMD is unplayable in certain games.
Go spend a little 110$ more and you'll get how great NVIDIA's advantage over AMD has. Always the second fiddle who loves shooting themselves on the foot whenever given the opportunity to overtake NVIDIA.

5060ti 16 gb will age better Access to DLSS 5 Neural compression Pre Shader compilation Better path tracing support (Shader execution reordering and opacity micro maps) Access to mega geometry DLSS4.5 ultra performance model L which unlocks 4k resolution for some scenarios 6x framegeneration Dynamic frame generation Better in productivity Better resale value future software based features will be supported not like AMD where it abandon previous generations due to lack of hardware features
Other than price point of view 5060ti 16GB is my recommendation go for it if u have to pay little higher none of the mentioned feature is supported by AMD
khironinja@reddit
I have a 5060 TI 16GB and it's better slightly in raw performance and multi frame gen actually has genuinely made a good few games run a lot better than they should have ran before and I do think it's a better card but not an extra $100 better.
Serious_Newspaper823@reddit
Id choose the 9060xt over the 5060ti because it has X16 pcie lanes instead of X8.
dsinsti@reddit
I've got one and it is a lovely flawless card. I love my 9060xt.
coolgui@reddit
I got one for my last gen desktop... It only has PCI 3 so the x16 was a must. But even if that's not a factor for you, I think it's probably better at that price difference. If it was only maybe $50 more for the 5060TI and the PCI lanes wasn't an issue, I would probably go for it for the DLSS support.
AdstaOCE@reddit
9060XT 16GB, they are very similar so take the cheaper option. AND PCIE 3.0 is a MASSIVE issue on 5050/5060/5060TI especially when running out of vram but also without, just look at the 16GB cards in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbphkAeSSZw
NewestAccount2023@reddit
They are both pcie 5.0, the 5060ti has only 8 lanes though. But at 5.0 I doubt thoseissing lanes even matter because the card can't use up all that bandwidth anywayÂ
AdstaOCE@reddit
It can at 3.0 speeds. And does make a difference, as seen in the video. Especially on the 8GB card when running out of vram, but also in general.
Imgema@reddit
It's only an issue on 8GB cards.
AdstaOCE@reddit
Look at the lows on the 16GB card... Hence why I said "just look at the 16GB cards"
CooperDK@reddit
It is not massive, though. And not an issue either. At all 🤣 And the cheaper option is also the lesser in this case
ggRavingGamer@reddit
Amd only if you play on Linux too. If not, clearly the 5060 ti.
7_inch_girth@reddit
Used gpu of the newest models ? Good luck finding that... you are just gonna run into alot of scams...
Own_University_8770@reddit
If you value bang for buck, the 9060xt 16gb is 110usd cheaper. The 5060ti has better features like DLSS and all that. Imo, if you can afford the extra 100usd go for the 5060ti. But im saying that because i value having access to DLSS and Framegen, which is very tied to opinion. If you dont care too much about that, the 9060xt 16gb will do you better saving some money
katzengoldgott@reddit
Unless you need CUDA cores for software that relies on NVIDIA (such as DaVinci Resolve, Blender, Adobe etc.) for work, the 9060 XT is the better choice here.
MrSquare20@reddit
i got a 5060ti 16gb for my first pc build and so far i have enjoyed it very much, 0 problems. i play on 1080p though, and i really really wanted raytracing and dlss/mfg, but i remember i was considering the 9060 as well. i really think you cant go wrong with either choice, only difference is dlss. if you're not very tight on money, i think the 5060 is worth it. if you have a smaller budget, i think the 9060 is better. either way youll be happy imo (:

Mysterious-One1055@reddit
Depends how much $110 means to you.
Both are great cards, but the Nvidia option will give you DLSS etc.
Existing-Network-267@reddit
I can tell you only one thing no Nvidia user thinks I should have gotten the amd card , or even thinks about and, but and owners think a lot about Nvidia . You make the choice
Sea_Bite2082@reddit
Overall - 5060ti is better choice. Slightly better in games, much better in workloads.

If RT isnt super important save yourself a crisp hundy.
