9070 or 9060xt?

Posted by PromotionNeither2775@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 5 comments

So I'm planning a pc build with a budget of \~$1500. I am somewhat flexible. Currently, I am planning on getting a microcenter bundle with R7 7800X3D, B850 mobo, and 32 GB DDR5, all for about $600. What I'm having trouble deciding is if I should get a 9060xt and save some money, or if I should spend a bit more and get the 9070, which puts me just a bit over budget. Is 9070 worth it, or should I just go with the 9060xt and save money?

1080p max settings? - 9060xt 16gb

1440p? - 9070

1440p max settings? - 9070xt

I think the 9070 is the best value in the AMD line-up right now, so if you want to play at a higher resolution than 1080p, it's worth the investment.

If you want to play at 1080p, the 9060 XT 16GB could probably get you through 5-10 years, lol - you don't need a 9070.

9070 non-XT is \~30-50% faster than a 9060xt 16GB in real-world gaming. It's a significant upgrade.

Worth is all subjective. I say yes.

yeah, the 9070 is a great choice and will last quite a bit longer I would say

I think save for 9070 for sure
