The specifications side by side
All values come from the product pages of NVIDIA and AMD. Cards from ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI and other brands can have a different clock, cooler or length. Those details are on the product page of the card itself.
| Spec | GeForce RTX 5060 Ti | Radeon RX 9060 XT |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture | NVIDIA Blackwell | AMD RDNA 4 |
| Video memory | 8 GB or 16 GB | 8 GB or 16 GB |
| Memory type | GDDR7 | GDDR6, up to 20 Gbps |
| Memory bus | 128-bit | 128-bit, with 32 MB Infinity Cache |
| Bandwidth | not listed on the spec page | up to 320 GB/s |
| Compute units | 4,608 CUDA cores | 32 compute units, 2,048 stream processors |
| Boost clock | 2.57 GHz | up to 3,130 MHz |
| Motherboard interface | PCI Express 5.0 | PCIe 5.0 x16 |
| Card power | 180 W (Total Graphics Power) | 160 W for 16 GB, 150 W for 8 GB (Typical Board Power) |
| Recommended power supply | 600 W | at least 450 W |
| Power cable | 1 x PCIe 8-pin, or a PCIe Gen 5 cable of 300 W or more (adapter in the box) | 1 x 8-pin |
| Upscaling and extra frames | DLSS 4: Super Resolution, DLAA, Ray Reconstruction, Frame Generation and Multi Frame Generation | FSR 4 with machine learning upscaling, FSR Redstone and AMD Fluid Motion Frames |
| Lower latency | NVIDIA Reflex 2 | AMD Radeon Anti-Lag 2 |
| Display outputs | 3 x DisplayPort 2.1b, 1 x HDMI 2.1b | DisplayPort 2.1a, HDMI 2.1b |
| AV1 encoder (streaming and recording) | yes | yes |
What do the differences mean?
- Video memory: with both you choose between 8 GB and 16 GB, and that difference matters more than the brand. For 1080p, 8 GB is usually enough. For 1440p and new games with textures at the highest setting, take 16 GB. The amount is in the name of the card or the PC.
- Memory type: GDDR7 is faster than GDDR6. AMD makes up part of that with 32 MB of Infinity Cache on the chip. How much it matters differs from game to game.
- Upscaling: DLSS only works on NVIDIA RTX cards, FSR 4 on Radeon RX 9000 cards. Check which one your games support. Many new games have both, some only one.
- Power: AMD names a power supply of at least 450 W, NVIDIA 600 W for the whole system. Both cards are fine with one 8-pin cable. A complete PC already comes with its power supply. Buying a card on its own? Check your own power supply.
- Interface: both are PCIe 5.0 cards and also fit the PCIe 4.0 slot of an older motherboard.
Which one should you pick?
Pick the RTX 5060 Ti if your games support DLSS 4, if you use NVIDIA features such as Reflex 2 or the NVIDIA app, or if you want to stream and record with NVIDIA's software. NVIDIA itself compares the card at 1440p on maximum settings.
Pick the RX 9060 XT if you want a card that uses less power and gets by with a smaller power supply, or if your games support FSR 4. AMD presents it as a card for smooth 1440p gaming.
For both: take the 16 GB version if you play at 1440p or want to keep the PC for a few years. Then compare the whole PC, because processor, memory and storage count in the price too.

Frequently asked questions
Is 8 GB of video memory enough?
For 1080p on medium to high settings, usually yes. For 1440p or new games with textures at the highest setting, 16 GB is the safer choice, for both cards.
Which card needs the smallest power supply?
The RX 9060 XT. AMD names at least 450 W, NVIDIA 600 W for a system with an RTX 5060 Ti. Leave some headroom if your processor draws a lot of power.
Does DLSS work on an AMD card?
No, DLSS is for NVIDIA RTX cards. AMD has FSR. FSR 4 is for Radeon RX 9000 cards, older FSR versions also run on cards of other brands.
Will an RTX 5060 Ti or RX 9060 XT fit my PC?
Both fit a PCIe x16 slot and need one 8-pin cable. Compare the length of the card with the maximum GPU length of your case, because that length differs per brand and model.
Why don't you give FPS figures?
Because FPS depends on the game, the settings, the resolution and the processor. NVIDIA and AMD publish measurements on their own systems. Independent reviews of your own games give a better picture.
