It doesn't matter. You're not going to notice a difference no matter what GPU you go with.

All can stream fine, 9060 xt greatly improved h.264 to match nvidia. Plus 9060 xt has fsr4.
5060 ti is good too, but usually costs a lot more than the 9060 xt.

Your not doing professional work. It doesnt matter

This is the correct take imo. Of course Nvidia is a bit better for such tasks (software and encoder) but it's not that important if you just want to try it out. On a tight budget price to performance is way more important. If you become a professional streamer you'll need a higher tier gpu either way sooner or later and then you can go with a Nvidia card

7700XT is the worst choice.
9060XT improved it to be competitive with Nvidia with hardware.
However a lot of software was designed for Nvidia, so there can be inertia for getting AMD software. Just because the GPU can do it, doesn't mean the software can.

come again?

Nvidia has NVENC hardware video encoders, over-simplified it can act as a hardware video recorder to help with streaming.
AMD RX 9000 specifically has improved hardware video encoders that are now competitive with Nvidia.
However while this physically exists on the AMD card, most software is optimized for Nvidia, and it takes time for AMD support to be added.

Every gpu can stream, it doesn't matter
Your upload speed matters the most

No but nvidia is a little better. But you’ll not really notice any difference in day to day usability. Plenty of streamers and content creators use AMD without issue.

if u're gonna stream i recommend nvidia because they have a lot of software built for streamers

You won't see any major differences from a quality pov. I have a 7900GRE but sometimes I'll use my 4060 rig for Nvidia broadcast usage. The background removal and voice software is sick.
