NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB vs AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB
AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB and AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB are effectively tied for gaming, separated by 3.8%. That gap is smaller than the run-to-run variation you would see between two identical PCs, so buy whichever is cheaper or fits the platform you already own.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB vs AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB at a glance
Each axis is scored against the better of the two, so the outer edge is always the stronger part on that measure, not an absolute scale.

Nothing in our data favours this one. Pick it only if it is cheaper today.
Choose the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB if
- Lower power draw (160 W)
How many FPS do the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB and AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB get?
Estimated framerates with both parts measured against the same reference processor (a AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D), so the graphics card is the only thing changing. Figures are ranges, not exact numbers. Measured at 1440p because at 1080p even a fast processor caps both cards and the columns come back identical.

Will the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB bottleneck your build?
These figures hold one component constant. Your own build decides the answer: a faster graphics card buys nothing if the processor is already the limit.
How we compare graphics cards
Benchmark scores come from PassMark, 3DMark, Geekbench and Cinebench. Each of those suites is read from a single source across every part we compare, so a percentage gap here is a difference between the two chips rather than between two testers. Framerates come from our own model, built from measured GPU baselines and processor ceilings, and it declines to produce a number for hardware it does not cover rather than estimating one.
