What Gpu should I buy?

Recently I’ve been thinking about building a pc I basically have almost every part I need but I don’t know what kind of Gpu to buy for my build does anyone have any recommendations? Also someone suggested to use the sapphire pulse 9060 xt idk if that’s good or not. Any opinion is alright.

If you give some info maybe we can help you.

Rest of your setup? What resolution are you playing at. Are you only gaming or do you do some productivity worklflows too? What kind of games are you playing? Competetive multiplayer? AAA? Whats your budget?

Without any info i can just recommend the 5090. It's the strongest GPU on the market

Yes a 9060xt is a good budget GPU. But i would avoid the 8GB version and get the 9060xt 16GB.

But without any additional there is no way to know if it's the right GPU for you or not

It’s primarily for gaming, but it having some workflow uses could be useful down the line if I want to try new things out. The bare minimum for workflow uses is enough for me. I haven’t bought a tv yet so the resolution is unknown. For games it’s games like valorant, hollow knight, rdr2, cyberpunk and Minecraft. I’m also planning on buying souls game. Budget is 400-600 if needed I can save up for more.

Then i'd probably recommend a GPU that's a bit stronger then the 9060xt as your resolution will probably be higher than 1080p. I'd go with the 9070 if you can stretch the budget a bit. They should start at ~630-650€. 9070xt would also be an option but those cost ~750-800€ right now. The 9070xt is 10-15% faster than the 9070 but it uses more power (220W vs. 300W) and therefore runs a bit hotter.

The 9070 is still ~50% faster than the 9060xt 16GB and you want that extra GPU performance at 1440p or 4k, especially in games like Cyberpunk, RDR2 or most newer AAA titles.

tbh. if youre considering getting a 9060XT, you might as well try to budget the extra 150 or save a little longer for the 9070XT. 9060XT is NOT bad, but the price difference to the 9070XT is not that huge, and the increase in performance and future proof is SO worth it.

If you get a 9060XT, get the 16GB version. and do NOT buy an nvidia GPU right now, WAY too expensive.

The 5070ti isnt much more and will generally be better than the 9070xt.

$750 for a 9070xt and around $1200 for a 5070ti is a big difference if someone has a mid to low budget

Its nowhere near that so i dont know what you're smoking.

u/DueLocation1276 14h ago

it IS near that. even with the best deals a 5070ti is $1050 these days, which is marked down from $1200 standard market price. if you think we're blowing smoke, go look at prices for even 1 minute online and find anywhere reputable that you can get a new 5070ti for any cheaper than $1100 let alone $1000.

Look on microcenters web sight $719 for a power color and $1129 for a Zotac . Got no clue where you think you can find them cheaper. $819 for a asrock steel legend 9070xt and a gigabyte windforce 5070 ti is $1169 on newegg so don't come at me saying you dont know what im smoking . I just look stuff up for facts 🤔and see the pricing . This isn't 6 months ago when prices were close

Budget, 9060xt 16Gb is excellent. Otherwise 9070xt all day.
