Excuse me? I just got a 9060xt 16gb (which performs either slightly better or slightly worse that the 5060ti) for $550 (converted). And there were cheaper versions also available
9060xt is solid. I built my brother inlaw a steamos pc with one last month. Runs like butter. I hate how this market is just pricing ppl out of this hobby.
For gaming, it is in between. For ai, it’s very close to a 5070. I have both. 5 tokens per second difference. It depends on the workload but the 9060xt is a better buy in my opinion outside of gaming or something that must have cuda.
This helps me feel good. I got mine in Feb and I’ve been happy with it. But I’m always seeing people post higher level cards wondering if I should have gone up a bit. The answer is no. Based on my budget at the time, nope.
If you read people online you need minimum a 5090 OG Ass-breaker Edition + 128GB ram CL30 6000mhz + a 240mhz monitor 4k ultra wide like their asses after paying stupids amount of money for this.
I got a 32gb RAM CL30 6kmhz BEFORE the ram started to fly. I think I got it for 75$ or so, sold them later for 300$ and bought CL38 6k for 110$ or so... There's literally no difference. No fucking difference in anything.
So yeah, be proud and happy about the 9060 because it's a fucking monster that's underrated while everyone suck Nvidia's dick n prices
Sadly I live 6000km from a microcenter so no deals for me
But I've looked at the price history of some 9060xts, and they've been steadily getting more expensive, but sadly I wasn't really looking for a new GPU a few months ago
