AMD's 16GB card just matched Nvidia's 8GB pricing and I'm buying one
Found this Newegg deal that makes the RX 9060 XT cost the same as RTX 5060 Ti. Double the memory for the same price? Yeah, I grabbed one.

Okay so I saw this deal and had to share because holy crap, PowerColor's RX 9060 XT with 16GB of VRAM is going for RTX 5060 Ti money right now. We're talking $20 off with a promo code on Newegg, which brings it down to match what Nvidia's asking for their 8GB card.
Here's what gets me. Nvidia just launched these RTX 5060 cards and they're still shipping with 8GB of memory in 2026. Eight gigs! Meanwhile AMD's offering double that for the same price after this discount. I've been testing both cards and honestly, that extra VRAM matters way more than you'd think. Games are getting hungry for memory and 8GB is starting to feel really tight, especially if you're running anything above 1080p.
The performance between these two is pretty close in raw framerates. Sometimes the 5060 Ti edges ahead, sometimes the 9060 XT takes it. But when you hit those VRAM limits? The AMD card just keeps trucking while the Nvidia one starts stuttering. I saw this firsthand testing the new Horizon update last week.
Look, I'm not saying the 9060 XT is perfect. AMD's ray tracing still isn't quite there and DLSS is legitimately better than FSR in most games. But for the same money as an 8GB card? That's a no-brainer for me. Grabbed one this morning before they sell out. The promo code situation on Newegg can be weird so check if it's still active when you read this.
