    I'm in a market for a new GPU but don't know what to choose I'm debating on a RTX 5060 Ti 16gb or the RX
    9060 XT 16gb both being dual fan models but let me know what you think in the comments I'm all ear's :)

    My current specs:

    AMD Ryzen 5600x
    AMD RX 6500XT 4gb
    Gigabyte A520M S2H
    EVGA G2 Supernova 650W
    1 TB HDD (for OS)
    1 TB SSD (for games)
    x3 120mm RGB Fans
    G-Skill Ripjaws 16gb ram kit at 3600mt's (dual channel)
    and my case being the JONSBO Z20

    More or less the same in terms of performance. View by price.

    I should say go for the 5070TI or 9070XT.... Then you will noticed a big diffrence. The ones that you share are not that great. But its depending on the budget. But beware youre processor is also a little old.

    Yeah, I was gonna say, you're probably looking at a bottleneck based on that CPU/mobo.

    Unfortunately, this is a recurring problem: many PC players have no idea what’s required to keep their system stable. They often have money for A but not for B, so they end up buying an extremely overpowered graphics card while the CPU lags far behind, and then complain about poor performance. In reality, you should upgrade in balance don’t just replace one component, but update everything together. In short: upgrade your entire PC instead of spending money on just one part. I’m afraid this will keep coming up for discussion on the forum.

    Yes, with a graphics card that only has 4GB, you're definitely not going to be happy with TSW.

    I would recommend an RTX 5070 TI 16GB.

    I also recommended this to a user on the Rail-Sim forum who also had a somewhat weak CPU.
    And since he got the RTX 5070TI 16GB, he's been very happy with TSW.
