Why buy each?

AMD RX 7800 XT

16GB GDDR6

Same VRAM as its successor — no VRAM compromise.

Mature RDNA 3 drivers

Well-optimized after 18+ months of updates.

NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti

16GB variant advantage

The 16GB model avoids the 8GB limitation that plagued the base model — still relevant for 1440p gaming.

165W TDP

Very low power draw — works with virtually any modern PSU.

RTX 5060 Ti is better value new

At $429 with GDDR7 and DLSS 4, the RTX 5060 Ti is the clear choice for new buyers.
